Redwood: Track Rework Costs in a Standard or Nonstandard Discrete Manufacturing Work Order

For certain manufacturing and maintenance organizations, rework refers to the activities that involve correcting or modifying work in process that doesn't meet quality specifications, such as disassembly or preparation, material replacement, repair or correction, and reinspection. These organizations need a standard way to capture the cost of poor quality for scenarios where a separate rework work order doesn't fit in the production process.

With this update, you can flag the materials and resources used in reworking a specific quantity at an operation in a standard or nonstandard discrete manufacturing work order. To perform rework, you can either reprocess the rejected quantity at the current operation or reverse the quantity to ready at the previous operation and report the additional material and resource transactions that are attributed to rework activities. You can report the rework materials and resources automatically or manually depending on the supply type and charge type, respectively.

You can report rework-related transactions using the Redwood pages for material transactions, resource transactions, production execution, mobile production reporting, and postproduction reporting. These transactions can be viewed using the Redwood pages for production transaction history and product genealogy. Once identified, the costs incurred by rework are classified as rework variance and excluded from the accumulated WIP and product cost roll up at work order close.

Report a Material Transaction with the Rework Identifier

Report a Resource Transaction with the Rework Identifier

REST API changes: The rework identifier is supported through REST for Work Order Material Transactions and Work Order Resource Transactions REST APIs.

FBDI changes: The rework identifier is supported through Work Order Material Transaction Import and Work Order Resource Transaction Import File Based Data Import Spreadsheets

Tracking rework activities within the original work order improves traceability of rejected quantities and associated materials and resources with cost tracking. This reduces the risk of quality escapes, enabling better analysis and process improvement to minimize recurrences.

Steps to enable and configure

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips and considerations

• The Rework checkbox is not selected by default. When reporting material and resource transactions, you should select Rework to include them in the cost of rework.
• You can use existing materials and resources or add ad hoc materials and resources for the purpose of rework at a work order operation.
• You can use this feature to capture inline rework activities within the same work order as the main manufacturing process. In contrast, a rework work order is used to take a product from inventory for rework, which can follow a predefined rework process that specifies the required materials and resources using a rework work definition.
• This feature is available only with the Redwood experience. For a consistent user experience, you can enable the Redwood pages for work orders, report material transactions, report resource transactions, production execution, mobile production reporting using industrial handheld devices, postproduction reporting, production transaction history, and product genealogy.

Access requirements

Users who are assigned a configured job role that contains these privileges can access this feature:

• Manufacturing Privileges :

  • Report Material Transactions (WIP_REPORT_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS_PRIV) to report material transactions for rework.

  • Report Resource Transactions (WIP_REPORT_RESOURCE_TRANSACTIONS_PRIV) to report resource transactions for rework.

These roles and privileges were available prior to this update.
