Report Material Transactions for a Work Order Operation Using a New User Experience

Welcome to the demo of the 24D feature, report material transactions for a work order operation executed at a workstation. With this update, to execute in production at a workstation, production operators can now issue materials prior to or during execution of a work order operation.

They can scan or enter the lot in serial information of different supply types. Even adhoc materials can be reported during execution of a work order operation. Real-time reporting of material consumption helps in book keeping and accurate traceability of controlled or non-controlled components. Manufacturers can also ensure compliance with quality and production standards without expecting the production operators to spend additional time on manual record keeping, thereby, the production operator's time is freed up for value-added tasks.

Now, let's look at a demo scenario for this feature. I would launch execute production at a workstation task. I would select a workstation and check into it. Scan or enter a work order and select the work order operation to execute. View the details of the work order operation.

Prior to starting the execution, I would report the material transactions of supply type push. I would then start work order operation execution. When ready, I would complete the quantities and report the backflush material transactions, along with some details, such as serial number and lot number.

I opened the work execution work area and launched the execute production at a workstation task. The workstation is pre-selected for me from previous executions. I scan and select a work order.

The work order operation details for the operation that can be executed at this workstation and having ready quantities is shown to me. I notice that operation materials need to be issued. I click on Report Materials. The Report Materials transactions page is presented to be. Notice that the push materials required for this work order operation are already pre-populated in the table.

I enter a lot-controlled component that I am going to issue. I can optionally scan the barcode of the lot-controlled component. I'm automatically taken to the lot number entry field. I can also scan the lot number. This interaction is geared towards rapid scanning of components and a lot of serial numbers. This helps the operators reduce their time spent in data entry tasks.

I click on Submit to report the material transactions. Now, I'm ready to start executing the work order operation. I click on Start. Notice that in this page also, the operator can click on Report Materials and issue material transactions while executing work order operations.

I am now ready to report some completion quantities. I enter the quantities and click on Complete. Since this operation contains a serial-controlled component that needs to be backflush, I am presented with the Backflush Materials page. I enter the component, and I'm automatically taken to the serial number field. I select a serial number.

Once I'm satisfied with the details entered, I click on Submit. This reports the backlash material transactions, along with the operation completion transaction for the units that I was completing. This concludes the demo for this feature.
