The shop floor is the production area, such as in a factory or another working space and is the floor where workers produce goods. The shop floor excludes the area used or designated for administrative activities. [1] [2][3]

Shop floor control

Systems for managing the various components of the manufacturing process are known as shop floor control (SFC) systems.

Shop floor control is one of the functions of manufacturing control; it is the process of monitoring the production activities as they happen, such as when the product is being processed, assembled, inspected, etc. It is also concerned with the shop floor inventories—short and excessive inventories that may cause losses.[4][5]

Integrated shop floor management

The manufacturing industry is significantly impacted by technological advances such as the Internet, the Web, and intelligent agents. Changing shop floor environments and customer needs are sufficed with new kinds of shop floor control systems that are web-based shop floor control systems, also called e-shop floor or i-shop floor.[6][7]
