Chapter 2: Parameters Here you can customize the way your company will use the Shop Floor Manager module. Parameters for employee breaks, lunch breaks, and shift times allow you to customize the automation of shop floor transactions to the exact needs of your company. Here can also define job status codes and downtime codes that fit your manufacturing reporting needs. Shop Floor Manager Parameters Setting up the Shop Floor Manager is easy. The first step is to set the default parameters to match the needs of your company. The Shop Floor Manager parameters are typically a one-time setup routine but can be changed at any time. To set up Shop Floor Manager Parameters: 1. Open the Shop Floor Parameter Setup window under shortcuts located in the Navigation Panel. (Shop Floor >> Setup >> Parameters) 2. Next Transaction Number Each shop floor ticket (job ticket) is automatically assigned a unique transaction serial number. The number entered here will be appended to a Julian Date (for the day) each time a job ticket is printed this next transaction number will increment by one digit. SHOP FLOOR MANAGER 11

PART 1 SETUP 12 SHOP FLOOR MANAGER Here is an example where the next transaction number is 2005 062252005 The first two digits are the YEAR (2006) The next three digits are the Julian Date (225) The last four digits are the transaction number (2005) 3. Shift/Lunch/Breaks Each company will be able to define up to three (8 hour) shifts. All time should be entered as military hours and regular minutes. For example, 2:30 PM should be entered 14:30 a. Shift From: Enter the start time for this shift. b. Shift To: Enter the end of shift time. c. Lunch From: Enter the start time for lunch for this shift d. Lunch To: Enter the end time for lunch for this shift. e. Breaks From: Enter the start time for up to 4 breaks for this shift. f. Breaks To: Enter the end time for up to 4 breaks for this shift. 4.

For example: If you enter Round Start time +- 3

CHAPTER 1 PARAMETERS Suppose the lunch start time is 12:00 and an employee clocks out at 11:57 The lunch start time for this employee will automatically adjust to 12:00.

Once assigned a job ticket, an employee will scan the job tickets bar-coded transaction/serial number and employee badge to create an open shop floor transaction. This transaction will identify; work center, item number, and employee ID. Each open transaction will have a job status (active working condition) as follows: START FINISH SETUP DOWNTIME LUNCH BREAK MISC ADJUST (job started) (job finished) (job setup begins) (employee downtime begins) (lunch break begins) (break begins) (miscellaneous) (setup adjustment) The Shop Floor Manager applications use job status codes to create a description to identify the type of work that is being logged against this job transaction. These are predefined codes that are automatically displayed on any Shop Floor Manager collection device. Each job status code may have the need for additional information to be collected such as pieces produced, reworked or scrapped. Here you will use job status codes setup to customize each job status to best fit the shop floor data collection needs of your company. 14 SHOP FLOOR MANAGER
