SOP-42Q-MES0005 Data Editor Maintenance
This edition applies to MDS Portal xx-x Application and all subsequent releases and modifications until otherwise indicated in new revisions.'
Introduction
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 functionalities of each screen. The current version has an SFDC Configuration screen which provides access to all screens and its functionalities (view, add, edit, delete, print and generate output file), and a View-Only mode screen which only supports view, print and output to file; to support these screen modes, the MDS user or group of users have specific profiles, which provides specific access to MDS screens and functionalities.

Glossary
Access Control
it is a module that will set the permissions for users and external customers of Sanmina
administrator
the System Administration has full access - all plants, all reports, all users.
component
A component is a specific piece of data that appears on a label, for example: bar code, part numbers, graphic images, line or text. Hence, label components are broken down into several different types: text, graphic images, MDS database values, or a combination of text and database values.
framework
In software development, a framework is a defined support structure in which another software project can be organized and developed. A framework may include support programs, code libraries, a scripting language, or other software to help develop and glue together the different components of a software project.
