SFDC Configuration Setup

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.

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

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

Traveler Maintenance

A traveler is a source of information for installing each part for a unit. It provides,

• A view of each unit structure, and control over parts released to the manufacturing floor.
• A list for checking-off parts during the assembly of individual units.
• Improves control of manufacturing workflow and allows for better planning of product assembly.

The Traveler Maintenance application builds and maintains the traveler configurations for orderable part numbers. A traveler configuration is a defined list of parts required to build an orderable unit or an Internally Configured Part (ICP).

Each line item on a traveler is an entry from the General Parts and Bases list. Part numbers can be added or deleted from a traveler configuration depending on the manufacturing procedure required for unit assembly. Any changes to a traveler configuration are pending until approved by engineering personnel and released to manufacturing.

All traveler configurations contain the following information:

• Part Number
• Part Description
• Traveler Configuration Status

To access Traveler Maintenance click on navigate to Shop Floor Control > SFDC Configuration > Traveler.
