A manufacturing optimization and synchronization process is provided in which
data
records for incomplete orders in the manufacturing and shipping facility are collected
and sorted on a priority basis such that orders that have the fewest number of
incomplete orders and that have the most total number of units ordered have the
highest priority in the sorting process. This data is then displayed for the users
on a real-time basis to identify those orders that, when completed, will have the
greatest effect on the throughput and efficiency of the manufacturing and shipping process.
