Traceability  - Incoming Traceability Version MES15 Portal 1.0 Work Instruction

 

This Work Instruction is 42Q's corporate standard. This document is under revision control. The latest revision is located on Intranet. 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 Production Control

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 that provides access to all sub-modules pages and its functionalities (view, add, edit, delete, print, and generate output file).

General Notes

• Incoming material labeling is the foundation of traceability. Initially, warehouse staff must ensure that all the received materials must have their correct RT (Receipt Traveler) numbers.

• Every time the warehouse receives materials, there will be RT records downloaded from ERP Application to Traceability database server, and the corresponding RT sheet numbers can also be found and printed for the received materials.

• We review the incoming material labeling module in this section. By means of the scanner, the material barcode makes it a reality to trace components in modern EMS because the material barcode uniquely identifies the PCB and its components, hence deciding the manufacturer name, manufacturer part number, lot code, etc. of the components. This module implements the function by linking the material barcode to its relevant characteristics.

• Work Instruction alteration suggestions must be reviewed and approved by the site Documentation Manager prior to sending an alteration request to 42Q Corporate.

• This Work Instruction is a basic navigation-training guide and is not meant to teach the process flow for individual department functionality. Individual 42Q sites may have minor or specific process changes that will be documented at the site level.

Pre-Requisites

• Preliminary reading up SOP-5-I-PTS0001_Basic Navigation instruction
• Equipment for label printing and barcode scanning are ready for use.
• Receipt Traveler number

Material Labeling

1. To access the Material Labeling Page, navigate to Shop Floor Control -->Production Control --> Incoming Traceability -->Material Labeling.

Figure 2: Incoming Material Labeling

1. Select Material Labeling under Incoming Traceability in the main menu.

2. Enter Receipt Traveler Number. (Compulsory)

3. Next enter the  Part Number,  Qty

Figure 3: Incoming Material Labeling- Input Option

 

 

4. Copies : Quantity of labels to be placed on material(default is "1").

5. Quantity : Number of material in each packing unit.

6. Lot Code & Date Code: Ensure it matches suppliers material barcode.

7. MSD Level: Please select as indicated on material label.

8. Accept Property (required): Select from the dropdown (default is "Accepted").

9. Next Inspection Date (required): Normally material will be taken as due after one year since label printed. (Default is today s date + Material Expire Day)

NOTE: This option only works when Next Inspection Date=Yes at Traceability Administrator --> System Setting( Material_And_Labeling ) page. Material Expire Day can also be defined at this page.

 

10. IQC Result /Remark: Applicable to silk printing, re-inspect, return, transfer, or split material. (Input related reference number if available)

11. MFG Date: Show MFG date on label, but system will not save this data into database.

NOTE: This option only works when MFG Date=Yes at Administrator --> Traceability Administrator--> System Setting -->Material_And_Labeling page.

12. LPN:show LPN( LICENSE_PLATE_NUMBER) on label.

13. Send: Creates and prints material label when Send is selected.

NOTE: Ensure each label passes visual check and checked by scanner, make sure every item on label matches the material, and paste label on the same surface where supplier label is located. (Do not cover the feeder hole or other labels on the packing).

Reprint Material Label

This module is used by IQC to reprint material barcodes. Reasons for reprinting the existing Traceability printed labels include the following:

• the quantity is being updated
• poor quality labels printed
• the label has been damaged

 

NOTE: In this section, it is a prerequisite to have printed the material label.

 

1. To access the Reprint Material Label page, navigate to Shop Floor Control --> Production Control --> Incoming Traceability --> Reprint Material Label.

Figure 4: Incoming Reprint Labeling

 

 

 

1. Enter the Material Barcode, and then select Enter (all related information appears).

2. Confirm and enter the Current Quantity.

NOTE: The entered Current Quantity cannot be greater than Total Quantity. The Item Current Quantity will be in red and the user will not be allowed to print labels when "Material Label Quantity Control" is set to Yes in the Traceability system setting page.

3. Define Pb-Free Category, MFG Date, and Next Inspection Date as it appears on the MFR label.

4. Input the reference information in the LPN field if any.

5. Select Send to print the new label.

Print Sub-Label

This module is for creating the second level of material package label(s) into the same quantity level, which split from the first level receiving quantity.

1. To access the Print Sub-Label page, navigate to Shop Floor Control >

Production Control >

Incoming Traceability >

Print Sub-Label.

 

Figure 5: Print Sub-Label Input Options

1. Select Print Sub-Label from the Incoming Main menu.

2. Input "Original Material", and then select Enter. The related information appears.

3. Define the sub-label quantity in New Material Quantity.

4. Complete the remaining fields per the original material label.

5. Select Send to create a new label.

Split/Transfer Material

This module is to split a receiving material lot (from one unique Traceabilitymaterial label) into multiple material size (i.e. multiple Traceabilitymaterial labels and different unique barcodes). This is applicable to the situation if a material is required volume-split.

 

To access the Split/Transfer Material page, navigate to Shop Floor Control >

Production Control >

Incoming Traceability >

Split/Transfer Material.

NOTE: It it a prequisite to have printed the material label.

Scenario example (To split the material lot from one into two different packages)

Before Split/Transfer in Traceability:

Original Material: E12-012345

SSCI Part Number: XYZ6789

Current/Total Quantity: 4000 / 4000

After Split/Transfer in Traceability:

Package 1

Original Material: E12-012345

SSCI Part Number: XYZ6789

Current/Total Quantity: 2000 / 4000

Package 2

Original Material: E12-012346

SSCI Part Number: XYZ6789

Current/Total Quantity: 2000 / 2000

Transfer Material

This same module is also used for transferring an item number of a specific material lot to another item number.

1. Transfer the material for different project/customer if both items ’

AML are exactly same.

2. To comply with ROHS or bond policy, some materials may need to change properties by changing SSCI P/N so a new material barcode is applied.

Figure 6: Split /Transfer Material- Input Options
