Introduction

SFDC Configuration Setup This edition applies to MDS Portal Application and all subsequent releases and modifications until otherwise indicated in new revisions.

The Shop Floor Data Collection System (SFDC) communicates interactively with the Customer Order Processing System (COPS), and Statistical Process Control/Statistical Quality Control (SPC/SQC). The Manufacturing Data System (MDS) makes the communication between these systems possible.

SFDC provides real-time information used by SPC/SQC and MESWeb to create quality control reports. The data configuration for SFDC PC is handled within the Manufacturing Data System (MDS), which is a complete factory automation system. The SFDC System uses barcode scanning, both manual and automated, to monitor and control a single product line or an entire plant. SFDC Configuration collects data, provides analysis, maintains unit histories, and controls product movement on the manufacturing floor.

Location Maintenance

The Location Maintenance record defines the location a process is performed in a product routing. All Location names begin with four characters, followed by a brief description of the process or function performed at the location.

As a general rule, locations are defined in the following order; Data Collector, Logical, then Physical Location. Once a location name has been defined, it is normally never changed. Be aware that modifying location names will impact historical reporting; therefore care should be taken when performing a modification.

• Data Collector Location: This location is sometimes referred to as Device Location and is named for the function performed and/or represents the physical placement of the device on the production floor. This is the location where data is collected. This is the only Location type listed in the Data Collector Table.

The Data Collector Location name follows the standard naming convention. The first character is always "S" for station. The next three digits are equal to the address scheme of the actual data collector or device number.

As a general rule, Data Collector Locations S001 through S999 are not used in routes, are not associated to a process name, and are always Status 20 On The Line.

When a data collector is initialized, the first 16 characters of the name will appear on the screen, therefore an accurate description of the process, or the devices physical location, is entered after the Snnn location name.

Figure 1: Data Collector Location Name Examples:

• Logical Location: Used as a holding area between scanning locations. Logical Locations provide for one or more physical locations to pass to multiple physical locations. It also allows one or more physical locations to receive from multiple physical locations. The Logical Location also helps provide accurate Work-In-Process reports.

As a general rule, Logical Locations are used for routing purposes only and reference a generic bucket (logical) location. All common Physical Locations (locations associated with the same process name) will receive from Logical locations in a Route by Process configuration, passing/failing to another Logical Location. Logical Locations will begin with four unique characters, followed by a space or underscore, then a brief description of the process name it is associated with.

Figure 2: Logical Location Name Examples:

• Physical Location: This location is specific to the physical placement of the data collector on the production floor. It shares the same process name as Logical Location but is unique to a specific device. A Physical Location sharing the process name with the Logical Location will receive units from it and pass to another Logical Location in a Route by Process configuration.

As a general rule, Physical Locations are not uses for routing purposes in Route by Process configurations. If Route by Process is not used, each scanning location must be defined in the route.

When defining Physical Locations, the first four characters are unique, followed by a space or underscore, then character positions six through nine should contain the first four characters of the Logical Location assigned the same process name. The remaining characters provide a brief description of the physical location of the device. This naming convention allows easy filtering in the location table, as the user only needs to filter the Logical Location name, and any Physical Locations with the same process name are returned.

Figure 3: Physical Location Examples:

• Multi-Pass Device Location: A secondary name for a Data Collector Location when it is used for multiple functions. Multi-Pass Devices are used when a product is going to be scanned at the same Data Collector more than once for multiple processes. Reference the section on Data Collector Maintenance for more information on configuring Multi-Pass Devices.

Early on, these types of locations were defined by an alphanumeric character other than the one used by the Data Collection Location, followed by the same three numeric characters, a space, then the remaining characters are the process name. For example, if the Data Collector Location is S001, the Multi Pass Location names assigned to that device number would be A001, B001, C001, and so forth. This is not intuitive to the operator as this name convention does not positively identify the process a unit pass or fails to. Therefore, the newer Physical Location naming convention, mentioned previously, has been developed.

List Locations

Based on the actual SFDC Configuration, the application displays a list with all Locations.

To list locations, click on Location Maintenance from the SFDC Configuration page.

The Location List page is displayed:

Figure 4: Location List

In accordance with the unit status (see Appendix C), the line of the data collector list is displayed in the different colors as below:

Status = 20 On The Line with process name: green

Status = 28 On The Line Hold with process name: dark green

Status = 20 On The Line without process name: orange

Status = 28 On The Line Hold without process name: dark orange

Status = 25 In Repair: red

Status = 26 Outside Processing: green

Status = 27 In Repair Outside: dark red

Status = 29 In Repair Hold: dark rose

Status = 30 Finished: blue

Status = 50 Killed: gray

Other Status: black

NOTE: Location Type = Repair only if it Unit Status is:

25 In Repair: red

27 In Repair Outside: dark red

or 29 In Repair Hold: dark rose

From this screen, the user is able to view a list of locations, as well as, add, edit or delete locations.

Add Location

This functionality enables the user to add a location to the Locations Table. All mandatory fields must be populated or an error messages is displayed.

Note: When a new Data Collector Location is created, a prompt is displayed to create a record in the Data Collector Table also.

1. To add locations, click the Add button.

Figure 5: Add Location

The Location Form is displayed:

Figure 6: Location Form

File:SOP-5-I-MDS0035-C RA1 MDS Location Maintenance 07.png

2. Populate the mandatory fields;

SFDC ID: Each Location record must be attached to a SFDC ID.

Location Name: Each location must have a unique name. The name can be up to 20 characters: the first four characters must be unique and be followed by a space or underscore. The remaining 15 characters are used to describe the function or physical location.

Unit Status: Defines the status of a unit based on the status of the Location.

On the Line	Used at any Location that is a part of the normal manufacturing process or product flow.
On the Line Hold	Same as On the Line with the added ability of allowing the unit to move from one SFDC PC to another within the same database. Also used to move from one route to another. When a unit has this status, the Serial record is removed from the SFDC PC and stored on the MDS server. It does not appear as part of the SFDC Work-In- Process report, but on the MDS Work-In-Process report.
In Repair	Used at any Location that is not considered part of the normal manufacturing process. In creating Routes, any unit with a defect is failed to a Location with an In Repair status. The unit continues to have this status unit all defects are repaired. A unit cannot be manually moved from a Data Collection Location with an In Repair status to a Location with On the Line status. Nor can a unit pass from this status to a Finished status.
In Repair Hold	Combines the In Repair status with the secondary functions of the On Line Hold status.
Finished	Defines the unit as complete. Unless the product will be installed into an upper level assembly, the Route ends by passing a unit to a Location with a Finished status. When a unit passes to Finished Location, the Serial record is removed from the Current Serial records on the SFDC PC and is stored in History. If a unit is manually moved to a Finished Location from the SFDC PC, the Serial record is moved from Current to History at the next shift change. Neither SFDC nor MDS Work-In- Process reports include Finished status Locations.

For more information, see Appendix C. Unit Status Definitions.

Location Type: Kitting_Consolidation, Integration, Inspection, and Repair

Process Name: Defines the manufacturing process occurring at the Data Collection Location. It is used to group multiple Locations with the same function for SFDC and MDS reports. The Process Name is used to determine the number of times a unit passes through a Data Collection Location. It also supports SPC/SQC reports to group same function locations across multiple lines.

Note: To access Process Maintenance, click the Manage button.

Department: Defines the department that a location is assigned. Supports SPC/SQC reports across multiple Lines. All Locations must be assigned to a Department. The SOMS system uses department do define the line in which a location is associated.

Note: To access Department Maintenance, click the Manage button.

User Defined: Provides additional information about a Location. Also links Locations together for SPC/SQC or Reports applications. This is a 20-character text string. The SOMS system utilizes User Defined 1 as the Site Code.

2. Enter the new Process Name;

As a general rule, Process Names should be clear and intuitive. This avoids the risk of confusion comprehending the process by users and operators.

3. Enter Sequence Number. This is an optional field for use with the Sanmina Operational Management System (SOMS).

As a general rule, each plant will create a sequencing scheme that fits the business requirements. For example, one plant may only have sequence numbers for PCBA processes, while another plant for Box Build processes.

Sequencing scheme should follow production flow. For example. The process sequence for SMT_Inspection_1 would be lower than the process sequence for Functional_Test_1 as SMT processes occur prior to test processes. The Process Sequence conforms to SOMS requirements. The sequencing will aid in SOMS reporting as the processes will display in sequential order of the product flow. Process Sequencing also aids in grouping common Process Names.

Unit Status Definitions

The following table provides a list of available unit status settings and their definitions (if available). See Locations Maintenance for more information.

Released (10)	COPS status. Refers to Travelers being finalized.
Traveler Printed (15)	COPS status. Used when a Traveler for a serial number is printed. Also used for Shop Order status when a serial number is assigned to a Shop Order but not scanned at an SFDC location yet.
On the Line (20)	Used at any location that is a part of the normal manufacturing process or product flow.
In Repair (25)	Used at any location that is not considered part of the normal manufacturing process. In creating routes, any unit with a defect is failed to a location with an In Repair status. Unless overridden by an Option setting in Setup Data Editor, the unit continues to have this status until all defects are repaired. A unit cannot be manually moved from a Data Collection Location with an In Repair status to a location with On the Line status. A unit cannot pass from this status to a Finished status.
On the Line Hold (28)	Same as On the Line with the added ability to allow the unit to move from one SFDC PC to another within the same database. Also used to move from one route to another. When a unit has this status, the serial record is removed from the SFDC PC and stored on the plant server. It does not appear as part of the SFDC Work-In-Process report, but it does appear on the MDS WIP report. This location behavior can be overridden by an Option setting in Setup Data Editor.
In Repair Hold (29)	Combines the In Repair status with the secondary functions of the On Line Hold status.
Finished (30)	Defines the unit as complete. Unless the product will be installed into an upper level assembly, the route ends by passing a unit to a location with a Finished status. When a unit passes to Finished, the serial record is removed from the current serial records on the SFDC PC and is stored in history. If a unit is manually moved to a Finished location from the SFDC PC, the serial record is moved from current to history at the next shift change. Neither SFDC nor MDS WIP reports include Finished status locations. This is the only acceptable status when Kit stations are used in conjunction with COPS.
Container Open (34)
Container Close (35)
SFDC Internal (3)	SFDC internal use status.
In Transit (37)
Shipped (40)	COPS status.
Temporary Ship Stati (45)	COPS status.
CRM Received (COPS) (46)	COPS status.
CRM Released (COPS) (47)	COPS status.
CRM RESERVED (COPS) (48)	COPS status.
CRM Finished (COPS) (49)	COPS status
Killed (50)	Originally a COPS status used to kill a serial number not to be shipped. Adapted for use in SFDC. When used, the serial number cannot be scanned by SFDC.
Pulled (55)
CRM Restart New (57)	COPS status.
CRM Restart Used (58)	COPS status.
Unit Component (60)	Defines a unit when it is a tracked component and has not been properly removed from the Top Level assembly. Requires a special Option line to be scanned again.
Unit Old ID (62)	Defines a serial number that was changed to another serial number.
Unit Skeleton (64)	Defines a unit serial number used for temporary copies of a real serial number.
