Works History: Log Work Order Operational Performance

OVERVIEW

Work Order history records contain fields that can hold production performance data for each Operation on the Process Route. This data must be entered after the Work Order assembly has been received into stock or Operations have been recorded in the Shopfloor Data function. This Work Order Operational Performance window provides access to all Work Order history records. You must enter a Work Order number first in the Work History WO Selection window. A list of all history records for the selected Work Order is then presented.

If the Work Order has been received in more than one batch, multiple history records will be recorded and listed.

WARNING: Care must be taken to enter the correct combined setup time. Do not enter the actual setup time twice if only one setup took place for both receipt batches.

Select a record by clicking on the list line. Enter an Employee Code, if desired, and tab to enter the actual setup and run hours for the Operation. You can use HMSP syntax here (see below). The standards current in the process route Operation hours recorded at the time of the assembly receipt are provided for comparison. A percent variance to Process Route planned is provided.

If the history record has a scrap quantity, you are expected to enter a Scrap Reason code. This is not mandatory, but you will be reminded if you forget. Scrap Reason codes must be pre-defined in the File — System Manager — Index Codes section.

Once you have completed all operations for the work order use the Save Changes button to save your entries.

You can obtain a more comprehensive analysis of costs by clicking on the Update Part Costs button. The analysis is based on the average costs for all Operation receipts and the actual parts issued to the Work Order. This analysis is based on history and does not use the same processing as other Update cost analyses that uses the Bill of Materials and Process Route values. See the Part Costs Update window for details.

WARNING: Only undertake this cost analysis once the Work Order is fully completed. Otherwise, the costs will be very misleading.

TIP: You can use the optWOHistoryEditPlan option in Settings Maintenance at any level to permit the editing of planned hours. This is useful if you have route operations that are alternates. Typically, if this were the case one operation would have valid hours (the default) and the other would have zero hours set in the route (the alternative). When you use the alternative operation, you need to zero the work history planned hours otherwise these will contribute to the cost of the WO (this is because where no actual hours are set for an operation, the planned hours are costed).

TIP: Normally Work History Operation Comments are not recorded. However, there is an option, optWOHistOpCom, that permits the recording of comments when work operation history is recorded. When the option is set to 1, the Work Operation History Comments window is made available for each Shopfloor or Log WO Performance entry. If set to 2, it additionally opens for Receive WO and Backflush WO. With this option set to 1 or 2 you can use the option optWOHistOpComText for default comment text.

Entering Time Values using HMSP Syntax

The system stores and uses times in decimal hours. 1.5000 hours rather than 1hr 30min. However, you can enter time in several different ways that will automatically convert to the equivalent decimal hours when you leave the field.

Units	Syntax	Example with Converts to
Hours	h or H	1hr30m = 1.5000
Minutes	m or M	20m = 0.3333
Seconds	s or S	3.6s = 0.0010
Hours:Mins	: or ;	1:30 = 1.5000
Combined	All	1:30m36s = 1.5100
Pieces per hour	p or P	100p = 0.0100
