Why Implement Shop Floor Reporting

• Re-Engineering the business to support standard, consistent, integrated business processes.

• Shop floor activity is the heart of the operation

• All material transactions were done manually

• Transaction reporting was at best one day behind

• Home grown stand alone labor reporting

• Labor reporting transactions were done manually

What we expected to gain

• Inventory accuracy

• Labor time accuracy

• Timely information

• Free up material planners to do planning

• Product identification

• Use of discrete manufacturing orders

Implementation Process

• Started with high level educational overviews

• Software features, functionality and setup options

• Used a small work cell as a model / pilot

• Spent time learning and working out process before expanding to other cells

Implementation Process• Key factors:

– Routing operations – Definition and setup of production facilities

• Process:– Defined / created production facilities– Printed single level BOM with routing– Reviewed with shop floor supervisors and floor

associates– Marked up to reflect actual process– Changed routings and BOM as needed

Implementation Process• Training

– Conducted 1 class room session with each associate

• Explained process (TA, Job On, Job Off, …etc)

• Provided handouts that matched screens exactly

• Had each associate practice with touch screen

– Go live• Provided hand holding

– Stood by their side during reporting (TA, Job On, Job Off, …etc)

Paper-Less Processes

• Time and Attendance Transactions• Job On Transactions

– Individual Job On transactions– Crew Clocking transactions

• Multiple associates working on the same job

• Job Off Transactions– End of shift Job Off reporting– Multiple times within a shift reporting – Update Piece Count

Paper-Less Processes

• Material Issue Transactions (IP)– Individual material issue based upon physical picking

process

– Material issue based upon BOM operation were first used and routing operation reporting

• Manufacturing Production Receipt (RM)– Stock location default via XA Production Facility master

and Item Warehouse record default stock location

Paper-Less Processes

• Scrap Reporting– During Job Off (SM)

– Scrap Component (SC)

• Operation complete transaction• Manufacturing order complete transaction

Paper-Less Enhancements

• Standard features and functionality– Default stock location per production facility

• Issue material from

• Receive material into

– Trigger program to refresh during order release

– Hide EXIT and CANCEL buttons on Product Receipt Screen

Paper-Less Enhancements

• PBLSi – Paper-Less Barcode Labeling for the iSeries– Automated custom label printing triggered by XA and

Paper-Less transactions.

• Schrader Bridgeport Enhancements– Supervisor Report

– Employee Production Report

CISTECH XA User Conference

Paper-Less Enhancements

• PBLSi – Paper-Less Barcode Labeling for the iSeries– When shop floor employee reports production against the

first operation a 4 x 6 label is automatically produced.

– When shop floor employee reports production against subsequent operations a ½ x 3 label is automatically produced.

Keys To Success• Use the experts to assist with the implementation

– Consultants

– Supervisors, shop floor associates

• Routings and Production Facilities are most important

• Start with a small area• Supervisor training and education are critical• Training, persistence and patience are required with

shop floor associates
