On the Production view, you will be able to see the step status of each product: Ready to Start, Started, and Finished.
Learn to re-organize the order of the column and customize your own Production view here.
Checking the Step Status is a handy feature when you want to track how long it takes to do one step or see if there is a sudden delay on a particular step.
