When is SOSMIL prepared?

The SOSMIL, or Service Order Status Management Information List, is prepared daily, prior to the FMA (Functional Management Area) daily production meeting. This timing is crucial because it ensures that all relevant information is current and reflects the most up-to-date status of service orders before discussions and decisions are made in the production meeting. The daily preparation allows teams to address any immediate concerns, allocate resources effectively, and make necessary adjustments to the production schedule that may arise based on the latest data.

In contrast, preparing it after the meeting would not provide the necessary insights to inform discussions, while weekly or monthly preparations would not align with the demand for real-time updates inherent to production operations. Therefore, the daily preparation right before the meeting is strategically important for effective management and communication within the team.
