Field or Control

Description

Op Seq (operation sequence) and Work Center

Select values for either field. If you select the operation sequence, the work center, crew, and machine information associated with the operation sequence appears on the page.

You can, however, change these values.

For production IDs, the operation sequences listed are from the production ID's operation list. The operation sequences for production schedules are the item's routing for the routing code specified for the area or item.

If you select the work center, you can select from all available work centers to accommodate any changes that might have occurred on the routing during production. Once you select the work center, the default crew and machine information appears based on the work center information. You can accept or change these defaults.

Note: If you then enter an operation sequence, the work center information is changed to the work center associated with the operation sequence, if it is different.

Crew Reporting

If you select this option, the system multiplies the actual labor hours that you record by the crew size to determine the total number of actual labor hours for performance reporting.

Machine Reporting

If you select this option, the system multiplies the actual machine hours that you record by the number of machines to determine the total number of actual machine hours for performance reporting.

Labor Hours or Machine Hours

Enter the number of hours based on:

  • Setup

  • Run

  • Fixed run

  • Post production

Note: Enter negative hours in these fields to correct data entry errors.

Scheduled

Enter any number of scheduled hours when there is known downtime for the work center. Scheduled hours are used to calculate labor and machine utilization. If no scheduled hours are entered, the system calculates the available hours based on either the work center or production calendar.

Note: You can enter actual hours for any labor or machine time type even if the time type wasn't included for planning or costing purposes. For example, if no costing postproduction time was specified for the operation, but actual time was spent cleaning up the work center once production was completed, you can still enter those actual hours.
