You arrive at the plant before the first whistle, steel-toed boots clanking on the concrete floor. After donning your safety glasses and hard hat, you head to the supervisor's office. You log into the ERP system on your desktop, pulling up the day's production targets for the component assembly line. Today, the goal is 1,200 units of the "Omega-300" circuit board.
