This Work Instruction is Sanmina's corporate standard. This document is under revision control. The latest revision is located on SanminaNet. Once printed it is an uncontrolled copy. All alterations to this work instruction require approval. Contact the IT Global Education and Training Department to submit suggested alterations and or updates.

This edition applies to MES15 Portal 1.0 Application and all subsequent releases and modifications until otherwise indicated in new revisions.

SFDC Configuration Setup

As its name implies, the Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) system is responsible for the collection of data from the shop floor. The collected information is then stored in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES). Specifically, the real-time information collected by SFDC is utilized by Reporting and MES Web to create quality control reports. The SFDC system uses manual and automated barcode scanning to monitor and collect data for a product line or plant. Thus SFDC plays an important role in maintaining unit histories and directing product movement on the manufacturing floor.

The system provides Access Control between the modules of the application, including the functionalities of each screen. The current version has an SFDC Configuration page which provides access to all sub modules pages and its functionalities (view, add, edit, delete, print and generate output file).

SFDC Configuration

To access SFDC Configuration, navigate to Shop Floor Control 

 Configuration 

-> SFDC Configuration. The main SFDC Configuration and sub modules page is displayed:

Figure 1: MES Portal – SFDC Configuration Sub-modules

NOTE: A user only has access to the modules assigned to his/her profile.

Part Maintenance

The Part Maintenance module defines part numbers and descriptions for products found in the SFDC System. A part number refers to the product ID of a top assembly, a base, or any component or sub-component making up a unit. A unit is an individual serial number assigned through SFDC. Scanning a serial number allows the system to track the unit from creation of a printed Traveler and/or serial number, through manufacturing, to shipping.

The Part Maintenance module provides the capability to Add, Delete, View, and Update Part Numbers.

Part Numbers List

This functionality enables the user to list available part numbers in the database. The list results include the Part Number, Part Description, Part Type, and Part Family.

To access the part numbers list, select Part Maintenance from the SFDC Configuration Maintenance module.

The Part Number List window is displayed:

Figure 2: Part Number List

Filter Results

The user can filter the Part Number results by entering into the field Part Number, Part Status, Part Type, and/or Part Family.

Flex Field Form

The Flex Form Field tab helps to create new fields in an existing form. When the user adds a new field in this form, the field will be reflected in all forms of the Part Number Maintenance.

Figure 13: SHIPPING Section

It is possible to add or delete fields by selecting Add/Delete buttons.

Flex Field Form - Add Field

Figure 14: Add Field

To add a new field, enter the attribute name and the respective value for it. The new attribute is considered a generic attribute but is not displayed at Generic Attribute module.

To edit the attribute, click over it. If the user edits the attribute name, it will be reflected in all parts that have this field. The value is not affected since the value is unique for each created field.

Note: If there is a generic attribute with the same name that the user is creating, an error message is displayed informing that it is not possible to create the attribute.

Revision

• This information will be displayed for each record in the spreadsheet.

See the rules below to ensure that the calculations are correct.

To ensure that the calculations are correct, the following rules must be validated:

• 1º rule:
• This rule checks the total of opportunities. After all the calculations, this rule is displayed.
• There will be 1 record for the Total number of opportunities, for a part number, which will have "Total" as the process name.
• The total number of component opportunities will be the count of the components (the sum of the quantity field in the BOM that was imported).
• The total number of placement opportunities will be the count of the components (the sum of the quantity field in the BOM that was imported).
• The total number of termination opportunities will be the sum of the termination counts (Column H, "JointErrors", in the above sample. The total number of assembly opportunities is 1.

• 2º rule:
• This rule is executed to check if there is a mechanical process or not. Mechanical processes are considered when missing process information, process filled as Mechanical, No Ref. Designator or quantity information 

 than Qty. Ref Designator.

• Create a record to hold the data with the part key and process name populated.
• The number of component opportunities will be the count of reference designators that are added at that process.
• The number of placement opportunities will be the count of reference designators that are added at that process.
• The number of termination opportunities will be the sum of the termination opportunities for the reference designators at that process. The number of assembly opportunities is 0.

• 3º rule:
• This is to check if the mechanical calculation is correct. The number of component opportunities will be the number of total component opportunities minus the sum of the component opportunities in the other process records.
• The number of placement opportunities will be the total placement opportunities minus the sum of the placement opportunities in the other process records.
• The number of termination opportunities will be the number of total component opportunities minus the sum of the component opportunities in the other process records. The number of assembly opportunities will be 1.

Load Defect Opportunities

This functionality is part of DPMO (Defect per Million of Opportunities). The Load Defect Opportunities button will be available after import a BOM file.

Generic attribute should be configured to the following options:

• part_opportunities_reference_designator_column
• part_opportunities_process_column
• part_opportunities_joint_errors_column
• part_bom_revision_column
• part_bom_reference_designator_column
• part_bom_quantity_column
• part_bom_part_number_column
