Introduction

Kit Verify is a tool that consolidates and validates all of the components in a Kit. A kit is provided to the Shop Floor by a warehouse in place of a shop order. Kit Verify allows users to verify that there are no missing components in a kit.

Kit Verify assists users in choosing the correct Shop Order that belongs to a certain Serial Number (product), separates Part Numbers that are serialized and that are not serialized (parts or components acquired of vendors), shows the components quantity that should be used, adds new Serial Numbers in the MES database, and prints Traveler Reports with the shop orders’ information. It also allows the user to add components to serial numbers attached to Shop Orders, replace components with defects, and modify changes in the database (Repair).

Kit Verify provides controlled communication integrated to SFDC (traceability software of product in the shop floor). This allows operational functionality rather than simply providing information configuration and registration. By Integrating to SFDC, Kit Verify allows the moving of units (orders) of a station for other through commands made available by the SFDC application interface.

Kit Verify consists of the following modules in the MES portal:

• KV Layout Configuration - responsible for the mapping of components by reference designators to layouts.
• KV Control- responsible for consolidation, integration, inspection, and repair of the kit.

KV Layout Configuration

KV Layout Configuration allows users to map Shop Order components by reference designators to assembly layouts. In the KV Layout Config portlet, users can add, edit, or copy an assembly layout.

To access KV Layout Config, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > KV Laytout Config.

All available Layout Configurations are listed by Part Number, Project, and Model.

KV Control

KV Control allows users to consolidate, integrate, inspect, and repair kits. The KV Production module contains two separate portlets, Kit Browser and Kit Processing. Kit Browser allows the user to search for the correct Shop Order by Shop Order Number, Part Number, or Revision before performing any task in the Kit Processing portlet. Kit Processing allows the user to perform all kitting activities for a Shop Order.

Kit Browser

Kit Browser allows the user to view and search all available Shop Orders in KV Control. This is a convenient way to access Shop Orders without having all of the information that is needed to utilize Kit Processing.

To access Kit Browser, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Production Control > KV Control, and then select the Kit Browser icon.
