Production Measures

Production Measures let you define the measurable outputs work is planned against, each created with a name, unit (e.g. ‘Panels, each’), and an optional target rate per day. When a target rate is set, Aphex calculates the implied daily rate and compares it against that target, surfacing the variance as a red, amber, or green indicator in a dedicated Production Measure column on the Gantt.

Creating Production Resources

Creating Production resource lets you build a reusable library of Production to assign to Tasks.

To create Production:

Click your Project Title in the top left, then select Project Assets
Select Production from the menu
Click
Create your custom Production resource by entering the Name, Unit and a Colour
Optionally assign a Unit Name and toggle Set Daily Target Rate
The Production resource is added to the library of Production the team can assign to their Tasks

From Gantt view, click Column
Toggle on Production
Click on the Task's Production cell
Select the Production Measure

You can change or remove a task’s measure at any time by selecting a new Production Measure from the dropdown. Logged updates are never deleted. Each update stays as it was recorded, and the running total is recalculated against the task’s new measure.

Make changes to the production breakdown where needed and impact the cumulative total needed.

Right-click a Task and select View Details
Scroll to Planned Resources and click into
Update the value and see the cumulative total impact

When a task's average production rate is below or in excess of its target, you can extend or shorten the task duration in one click so it lines up with the target rate no manual recalculating needed.

Hover the Target Rate Variance icon on the Production Gantt cell, in the Task side panel, or on a Board/List task card
Where the average is off target, an Align Task Duration button appears
Click it to extend or shorten the task duration until the daily average production matches the target rate

Once a Production Measure with a target rate is assigned to a task, Aphex continuously compares the task's planned daily rate against that target so misalignment is visible before it becomes a problem.

Resizing or dragging a task with a Production Measure assigned updates its plan in real time.

As you stretch or shrink the Task Bar, a Task Resize Indicator tooltip shows a live preview of the new average daily production rate
If the measure has a target rate set, the tooltip also shows whether that new average is aligned, above, or below target
Release the bar to confirm the new duration the daily breakdown recalculates automatically

On the Gantt, navigate to and toggle on Production
Check the visuals of , and to check the Target Rate Variance

Click and
Select Production in the first dropdown
Select from Is, Is Not, Is Empty or Is Not Empty
