Smart Operations: Perform Disposition of Rejected Quantities for a Work Order Operation During Production Supervision

Welcome to the demo of 25B Smart Operations feature Perform Disposition of Rejected Quantities for a Work Order Operation During Production Supervision in Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing. With this enhancement, supervisors can efficiently identify rejected items and understand the reasons behind the rejection. By having quick access to inspection results, they can make informed decisions on the next steps.

Based on the inspection results, supervisors have two options. Scrap: if the item is deemed unusable, it can be scrapped to remove it from inventory. Reverse to ready: if the issue can be rectified by rework, the item can be moved back to a ready state for further processing. This streamlined process ensures that rejected materials are handled promptly, reducing delays and improving workflow efficiency.

In this demo, we'll explore how to use this feature as a production supervisor. We begin by launching the Production Supervision task. Next, we query work orders with rejects to identify those needing disposition. In the Operations tab, we will review the rejected quantities.

We then review the transaction history and inspection history, helping us make informed decisions on handling the rejected items. If the item is unusable, we perform the Scrap action, removing it from inventory with a justification for the disposal. If the item is deemed acceptable, we perform the Reverse to Ready action, moving it back into production by assigning it to a workstation. This streamlined process ensures that rejected items are efficiently reviewed and handled, helping maintain accurate inventory and smooth production flow.

I am logged in as the production supervisor and have selected the Work Execution area in supply chain execution. Select the Production Supervision task to navigate to the Production Supervisor workbench. Navigate to Work Orders tab.

As a production supervisor, you can manage work orders in this page. The new metric Rejected Quantity indicates that there are work orders with rejected quantity in its operations. You can filter work orders with rejected quantities. Click Filters.

Expand the Rejects filter. There is one work order with rejects reported. Select the Reported option. And click See Results. Here, you can see the work order M1-2800, which has rejects recorded in it. Click the work order to drill into its detail.

Navigate to the Operations tab. You can optionally use the Rejects filter to display the operations with rejected quantities. Expand the operation to see the operation details. Here, you see that there are two rejected quantities in this operation.

Click the transaction history of Rejected Quantities hyperlink. You are now in the History tab of the work order, with the transaction type filter set to Reject and the operation filter set to the specific operation with rejects. Here, you can view two transaction history records corresponding to the operation Reject Transaction entered by the production operator. Click the Inspection Results view icon.

You are now in the Transaction History tab of the work order, with the transaction type filter set to Reject and the operation filter set to the specific operation with rejects. Here, you can see two transaction history records for the operation transactions entered for each serial rejected by the production operator. Scroll to the right to see the serial number info.

As a supervisor, you can review the inspection results to make a judgment of what went wrong. Click the Inspection Results view icon of the first record corresponding to serial number PS91349. You can view the inspection results that was recorded as part of the Reject Operation transaction.

Navigate back to the Transaction History page. Similarly, you can review the inspection results of other rejected transaction records. Click the Customize Columns icon to reveal additional hidden columns.

Enable the Transaction Note and Reason fields so that they are displayed in the transaction history records. Close the dialog. Now, you can see the transaction note and reason code that was optionally captured by the operator.

Based on the information reviewed so far, as a production supervisor, you decide to scrap serial number PS91349 and reverse to ready serial number PS91350. Navigate back to the Operations tab. Click the three dots to view the Actions menu.

Here, you can see two additional disposition actions, Scrap and Reverse to Ready. Select the Scrap action. Since this is a serial tracked production work order, you can disposition one serial at a time. Click the Serial Number field. Select one of the serials which was rejected earlier. Enter scrap reason and comment. Click Continue.

In this page, review the assembly poll items that will be back flashed. You can adjust the quantity, add, or delete components as required. Review the components. And click Submit when done.

Here, you see that the rejected quantity in scrapped quantity got updated. Let us now see how to perform Reverse to Ready. Select the Reverse to Ready action. Select the Serial Number field. Select the serial number from the dropdown.

In the Workstation field, select the workstation where you want to assign this serial to be reworked. Enter a comment. Click Continue. Here, the system shows the materials that will be returned. You can add the lot number and serial number details. Click Submit to complete the transaction.

Here, we see that there are no remaining rejects that need to be dispositioned. The Ready quantity has increased by one. For non-serial tracked work orders, you can disposition larger reject quantities. Click the Work Orders hyperlink to return to the home page.

To recap, we launched the production supervision task and queried for work orders with rejects. We then reviewed the transaction history and inspection history of the rejected items in a work order. We then demonstrated the disposition actions Scrap and Reverse to Ready that you can take as a production supervisor. This is the end of the feature demo. Thank you.
