Introduction

Batch/Lot Process form is an interface that allows for basic data collection, including location selection, basic defect recording, attribute/assembly data if configured. TAKT time display and OEE basic data recording is available using asset integration through CMMS. All the activities are recorded in Unit History against the serial record.

 

Target Maintenance

To use the Batch/Lot Process Control function, the following items are required:

1. A serial (batch in this case)  in process status for the location to
2. Setup target maintenance with setup time and cycle time for the part number 

 

Go to Shop Floor Control> Configuration> Target maintenance> soms_target

 

Figure 1: Target Maintenance 

 

Note: Users have to set up the Target Cycle Time and Setup Time for the part number and process they will be working on using the Create button on the top right.

 

For more details on target maintenance please refer to Target Maintenance.

 

Machine Integration

To set up the machine in CMMS Asset go to Shop Floor Control> Configuration> CMMS Asset> Asset.

 

Figure 2: CMMS-Asset

Select the Add button to add a new machine (asset). The Add Asset Window will be displayed to enter the required information.

 

Figure 3: Scan / Add Asset

 

Figure 4: Add Asset Information

 

Note:  The following fields are mandatory: Asset Id, Asset Name, and Asset Type.

 

Users must map the CMMS Asset to the location operator who will perform the job.

To map the machine to the respective location, go to Shop Floor Control> Configuration> CMMS Asset> Asset Mapping.

 

Figure 5: Asset Mapping 

Select Add and fill the form with the Location Name and Machine for mapping as shown in the figure.

 

Figure 6: Add Asset Mapping

 

For more details on asset management refer to CMMS Asset.

Users have to set up Problems/ Reasons for the machine. To add the problems in CMMS under Problem, users must have the problem type and problem category created before the problem creation.

 

Assign the Problem to Asset Type for the assets.

OEE Workbench

Without Asset Integration

Once all the prerequisites have been set up the users have to access the Batch/Lot Process control form; to do so navigate to Production> OEE Workbench

 

Figure 9: OEE Workbench

 

Users have to Scan the Location they want to work on to be able to see all the units that are available to that location. 

 

Figure 10: Select Device or Location

 

Note: Batch can also be scanned in the serial number text box. The P1, P2 are the priority based on the shop order sequencing.  If there is no sequencing/ priority defined the orders appear as the oldest order first.

 

Figure 11: OEE Workbench Location and Serial Numbers

 

Users have to select the unit to work on. It will give a summary of the unit, such as part number, unit quantity (can be updated by user), shop order quantity. As there is no machine integration the machine status is N/A.

 

Figure 12: Unit to Work On Screen

 

Note: There is a new rule that states that when a location name starts with ‘S’, the operation will not be considered as SETUP (it will not be hard-coded), instead, it will take as reference the setup done in the process_mapping to retrieve the operations. However, if the process_mapping does not contain the ‘S’, or is empty, ‘S’ will be set up by default.

 

Select START to begin the operation. If there are any prompts (attributes or assembly setups) they must be completed.

 

1. The clock will start ticking and users will be able to see the time under which the operation starts. This is the Remaining Time (standard time*qty + setup time), Setup Time, and Standard Time based on the SOMS table set up in target maintenance.
2. Multiple operations are available for operators, such as Add Comment, Add Defect, and End of the process.
3. Once all the activities have been finished, users can select the END button to move the unit to the next step based on the route. All the activities will be recorded in Unit History.

With Asset Integration

Once all the prerequisites have been set up the users have to access the Batch/Lot Process control form; to do so navigate to Production> OEE Workbench (Figure 7). Users have to Scan the Location they want to work on to see all the units that are available at that location.

 

Note: Batch can also be scanned in the serial number text box.

 

Figure 14: Scanned Location

 

The next step is to select a unit and quantity on which the operator will work on. 

 

Figure 15: Selected Unit to Work On

 

To begin the operation, users must select START. Once done, the clock will start ticking and the user will be able to see the start time under the remaining time.

 

Figure 16: Running Machine Example

Note: The machine status comes from CMMS, if the machine is under maintenance in CMMS, the status of the machine will be down here.

 

To stop the machine, users must select the STOP button and then, specify a reason for stopping the machine. The reasons are the problems that have been created in CMMS Asset.

 

Figure 17: Stop Category

A confirmation message will be displayed asking to proceed or cancel the action. Once confirmed, the problem will be recorded on the machine and a success message will be displayed.

The system will advise that the machine is “DOWN”. Once the problem has been fixed, the operator can select again the Start Machine button and the Machine Status will be changed to “RUNNING”.

Labor Tracking - OEE Workbench

The module of OEE Workbench has also a Labor Tracking widget where users are able to realize manually (default configuration) or automatically (sections 6.1 and 6.2) different actions for Direct or Indirect labors of a shop order, in a specific location:

• Clock-in
• Clock-out
• Pause
• Resume

 

To execute the Labor Tracking functionalities, just select the corresponding icon located at the left bar and then clock in a Shop Order or an Indirect Labor:

Figure 19: Labor Tracking Icon

Figure 20: Clock in a Shop Order

 

Users will find two tabs, one for Labor Tracking and the other for Crews. And two buttons for labor, one for Direct and the other for Indirect. 

 

Clock-in direct labor

1. To clock in time in a Shop Order, type the Shop Order in the corresponding field and then, select the Clock-In button below. (Figure 20)
2. A success message will appear at the right bottom of the page, indicating that direct-shop-order labor has been started and that a new card has been created and added to the Direct Labor/Shop Order list. This also confirms that the Direct Labor is being tracked.

 

Figure 21: Success Message ‘Started direct shop order labor’

 

Clock-out direct labor

1. To clock out one Shop Order, select the stop icon inside the corresponding shop order box. In case users want to stop more than one labor at a time, select the stop icon located at the top of the list.
2. A confirmation message will appear. To complete the action, select Confirm or Cancel to quit.

Smart insights

The Smart Insights functionality performs semi-automatically the start/resume labor records upon a serial number is scanned, helping users to save time and avoid manual and forgettable tasks. 

Once a serial number has been scanned, the system will prompt a confirmation message suggesting three options:

• Clock-in/Resume
• Dismiss
• Dismiss and don’t ask again
