Redwood: Use Rework, Transform, and Nonstandard Work Order Operations During Production Execution

A Rework work order in Oracle Manufacturing is used to fix defective items by removing and replacing faulty components on the shop floor. This process restores the item to a usable finished good and tracks the additional materials and labor involved. Rework orders help maintain product quality and efficiently manage repairs.

A Transform work order in Oracle Manufacturing is used to convert one finished assembly into another by removing or adding components. This process upgrades or modifies the assembly on the shop floor, with the transformed item then returned to inventory as a new finished good.

A Nonstandard work order in Oracle Manufacturing is used for non-regular production activities such as rework, repair, or prototype work. It can be created with or without a work definition and allows adding operations, components, and resources manually before release. This type of work order provides flexibility for manufacturing tasks that fall outside standard production processes.

With this release, operators can execute Rework, Transform, and Nonstandard work orders using Production Execution. This streamlines and unifies manufacturing work order execution into a single, modern, user-friendly interface. This improves shop floor efficiency by reducing system complexity and operator training time.

Adding the capability to execute Rework, Transform, and Nonstandard work orders using the Production Execution Redwood UI improves efficiency by unifying all work order types in a modern, user-friendly interface. 

Steps to Enable and Configure

Tips And Considerations

For rework and transform work orders, assemblies must be manually issued before reporting any quantities, depending on the plant parameter setting "Manually issue assembly to rework work order." Alternatively, assemblies can be automatically issued upon work order release if this parameter is disabled.
