Production Reporting – A summary of the activity

You can report based on the work order, activity or the resource from the main screen. The other information displayed along with the work order and activity is the resource, activity and item details. If the activity is defined with the secondary output items, those items get populated into the by-products option field. The order, completed and balance quantities are loaded depending on the output item displayed or the secondary output item selected.   

You can report an activity depending on the criticality of the activity for all the events that occur during the process namely setup, run, batch and problem sub-activities. These events have to be reported immediately after they occur or you can also make an explicit reporting by specifying the time at which the task was performed. Setup sub-activity corresponds to tasks that are performed during setup of a resource. You can click the setup pushbutton, to indicate the start of setup operation and the system fills the job status accordingly together with the transaction date and time. Run sub-activity corresponds to the actual processing of the output item of the activity. If any sub-activity is enabled before the run sub-activity, the system completes that sub-activity and starts run sub activity. Batch sub-activity corresponds to tasks that are performed during batch change over. You can click the batch pushbutton to indicate start of the batch sub-activity and the system brings the run or setup operation to an end, if any, for the particular work order.

End sub-activity specifies the end of each sub-activity independently. You can click end pushbutton to report completion of the started sub-activity. Accordingly, the job status is filled based on the action performed on each of the sub-activity. Problem pushbutton is used if any problems are encountered such as the machine break down. You can select the problem codes from the list and report for the problem. This operation assumes stop of all preceding sub-activities that are reported for start.

Once the reporting on the activities is carried out, you can report for quantities produced during the activity. You can specify the accepted, rejected and scrap quantity with corresponding codes. You can report that the activity is fully completed by enabling Activity Complete Option. You can specify the warehouse or zone or the bin for the last activity of the work order using this screen. The lot number can only be generated at the last activity of the work order. You can also report against an existing or assign a new lot number for the quantity reported. You can make use of the links provided at the bottom of the page. The links at the bottom of the page allows you to modify the activity, quantity details. You can also modify and view the serial number details.

You can also block the subsequent activity reporting, if the activity being reported is controlled through QC. During non-confirmation of checklist, the production receipt will also be blocked, if Checklist is mandatory for the last activity.
