Shop Floor Control Configuration SQC Configuration          

Introduction

SQC Configuration allows users to access portlets for storing and managing hours-per-unit (HPU) baselines. The data stored here serves as a baseline against which users can measure the performance of a production line. 

If the user needs to specify or update new information according to the parameters the portal will easily do it.

 

To access SQC Configuration, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > SQC Configuration.

 

RTENOTITLE

The SQC main page appears as follows:

SQC Portlets

Several portlets can be accessed from the main page: Filter (or Search), Manage HPU Baselines, Export Target Parameters, Load Target Parameters, and Import HPU Baselines.

 

Filtering the Shop Floor ID List

The main page already displays all available lines, but users can filter the list to display specific lines.

1. To filter the list on the main page, enter a line ’ s shop floor ID into the Shop Floor ID field and select Filter. The searched shop floor displays in the list. 2. To perform a new search, select Clear and enter another shop floor ID into the field.  

Managing HPU Lines

1. To use the Manage HPU Baselines portlet, check the box of a line from the list of Shop Floor IDs. The Manage HPU Baselines icon becomes available.

2. Select Manage HPU Baseline. The user is directed to the Baseline List page.

3. From the Baseline List page, the user can perform additional actions including (see below for expanded instructions concerning each):

• Add HPU Baselines

• Edit HPU Baselines

• Delete HPU Baselines

• Import HPU Baselines

Adding HPU Baselines

To add an HPU Baseline

1. From the Baseline List page select Add HPU Baseline. The Add HPU Baseline pop-up is displayed.

2. Complete the following pop-up fields as necessary:

• Shop Floor ID (the contents for this field are automatically generated and cannot be changed, since the shop floor ID was already selected during the Manage HPU Baselines process)

• Part Number (Combo Box; required)

• Process (Combo Box)

• Process HPU (Text Field)

• Unattended Time (Text Field)

• ERP HPU (Text Field)

 

3. Select Save once the fields have been completed to finish the process (or select Cancel to abort).

Editing HPU Baselines

To edit an HPU baseline,

1. Check the box of an existing HPU line from the Baseline List page and select Edit HPU Baseline.

2. The Edit HPU Baseline pop-up displays that is nearly identical to the Add HPU Baseline pop-up. The process for editing baselines is the same as that for add baselines (see above).

Note: The Line and Part Number fields cannot be updated.

3. Select Save to finish the process (or Cancel to abort).

 

Deleting HPU Baselines

To delete an HPU baseline

1. From the Baseline List page, check the box of an existing HPU Baseline and select Delete HPU Baseline Icon. A Confirm pop-up displays.

2. Select Yes to complete the process, or No to abort.

Importing HPU Lines

From the Baseline List page, the user can import HPU data by using the Importing HPU Lines portlet. To use the Importing HPU Lines portlet  

1. Select Import HPU Baselines on the main page. The Line x HPU Baselines pop-up displays.

2. Select a shop floor ID in the Shop Floor ID drop-down box and select a local CSV file by clicking Search. If the user does not yet have information in the proper CSV format, the user can retrieve one by selecting Get Template in the pop-up. However, the user must then enter information into the template in the proper format.

Note: The CSV file format must be as follows (in columns, from right to left): Part Number, Process Name, Process HPU, Unattended Time, and ERP HPU.

3. After selecting a baseline CSV file that conforms to the template, select Ok to complete the import (or select Close to cancel). All Baselines Were Imported pop-up displays. Baselines successfully imported are denoted by a green checkmark; unsuccessfully imported baselines are denoted by a red X.

4. Select Close to exit the pop-up and complete the process.

 

Loading Target Parameters

Users can load target parameters using the Load Target Parameters portlet. To use the portlet

1. From the SQC main page, select Load Target Parameters. The Load Target Parameters pop-up displays.

2. Select a local CSV file to load by clicking Open Browser in the pop-up. If a prepared template is not available, one can be obtained by selecting Get .CSV Template.

3. Select an option for loading the parameters:

 

• Incremental: only adds the new target tables and updates the values.

• Update: deletes the current data and loads the target data per the CSV file.

 

Note: The CSV for the template is as follows:

• Part Number, Family, Process, Process

• Group,TargetYield,TargetTPhr,TargetDPMO,TargetCycleTime,TargetHPU,ResourceHr

• STRING(50)x,STRING(50)x,STRING(30)x,STRING(50)x,DECIMAL(999.99)+ INTEGER ( 2147483647) +,DECIMAL(99999.99) +,
• DECIMAL(99999.99) +, DECIMAL(99999.99) + ,DECIMALDECIMAL(99999.999999) +
• First line: field name
• Second line: field type ("x" means at least one must be filled out by line - the key, "+" means one or more fields must be filled out - the targets)
• Third to last line: target values - consumed from the higher level to deeper, ex:
• If a target is set only for an Mfg Line, only the key column Mfg Line must be entered and the target values.

• If a target is set for a Process on a specific Mfg Line only the "key" columns Mfg Line and Process must be filled out and the target values

Note: If there is more than one target configuration for a specific key, the data will be loaded but the reports can use both. It is ideal to avoid this arrangement.

Note: The Import task does not check whether the data on the CSV is correct (i.e., if the Part Numbers or Mfg Line exists on the MES tables). Therefore, users should ensure the data set used has already been configured.

 

Exporting Target Parameters

The Export Target Parameters portlet can be used to export a previously loaded CSV file containing project parameters. This file is generated from the Nagios system. To use this portlet,

 

1. From the SQC main page, select Export Target Parameters. A Save As pop-up is displayed.

2. Select a local destination for saving the CSV. Select Save to complete the export, or Cancel to abort.
