5. Step-by-Step Visual SOP

Check pending orders and stock requirement.
Decide product: MIB 8-inch, MIB 6-inch, CIB 8-inch, CIB 6-inch or solid block.
Set target quantity for the day.
Confirm material availability.
Assign labour for mixing, machine, stacking and curing movement.
Create or note the batch ID.
Start production only after First 20 Bricks Approval (FIRST20_QC_V1).

6. Do / Don't

✅ Do	❌ Don't
Plan against actual orders + stock	Produce without a target quantity
Create a batch ID before starting	Mix products in one batch without a plan
Confirm material covers the target	Start a product whose material is short

7. Checklist

[ ] Product selected
[ ] Target quantity fixed
[ ] Batch ID created
[ ] Material availability checked
[ ] Labour assigned
[ ] First 20 bricks approval planned

8. Records To Update

🔵 Production plan register
🔵 Telegram production plan message
🔵 Future: n8n/Odoo draft Manufacturing Order

9. Escalation Rule

Inform Ram/Srinivasan if orders exceed capacity, material is short for the target, or labour cannot cover the plan.

10. Common Mistakes

Setting a target without checking material on hand.
Forgetting to create/record the batch ID.
Starting production before the first-20 sample is approved.
