Other Shop Floor Features Include
- Completely paperless work orders linked directly to sales order line items
- Substitute materials on the fly on work orders away from fixed BOM records
- Define steps for each production phase
- Divide shop floor into assembly lines and work locations with corresponding line supervisors
- Set up work locations (i.e. work stations, machines, etc.) to utilize on part routers and labor estimates
- Map labor rates and overhead rates (burden rates) to particular work locations; labor tracked to work locations can map labor/overhead cost accordingly in ledger upon invoicing
- Electronic work instructions with ability to enforce data collection (e.g. user initials, measurements, etc.) before router can proceed or shipment can be processed
- Define Process Steps For Each Production Phase.
- Attach pictures to electronic work instructions
- Locate orders in production easily with work location reporting and critical status updates
- Badge scan or tap for labor tracking per user or per user group: track all time spent to a specific user; identify true time/material cost per order / net cost per order
- Barcode scan or tap to look up work order in Cetec ERP. Scan badge or tap to start labor time on a work order. Real cost tracking to occur based on rates and actual start/stop time on work orders
- Reconcile Build Cost Against Estimate.
- Segment piece movement across production process; includes support for batch or “one piece flow” methodology
- Automatically generate work order documents, build certification (COCs), testing information, etc. - all stored directly on work order objects. Pull up any drawings or files associated with an item on the fly in production (e.g. cut sheets, etc.)
- Send parts to/from vendors to track outsourcing time and cost; represent outsourcing in production schedule and production status; represent outsourcing costs distinctly on invoice for work order
- Direct tie to in-process inspections, final inspections, shipping, and invoicing
- Attach quality alerts to parts (published in bright red on work orders for those BOMs) for time sensitive alerting
