If you wish to attach your name to this issue the call number is 776507PSC.
Problem: It is very difficult to tie out quantity losses from on operation
to another, and between production quantity, scrap quantity, and discrepant
quantities in Vantage.
Solution: Scrap quantities in labor reporting should get posted to a
cumulative field on the job operation record just like run quantities. Also
Descrepant Material Report reject quantities that are associated with a job
operation should also get posted to a cumulative field on the job operation
record just like run quantities.
When the operation is completed and all pending inspection and Descrepant
Material Report activity is complete the run, scrap and discrepant
cumulative fields on the job operation record should then account for all
the pieces that were forward to that operation for processing.
To do this simple analysis now with crystal or report builder you need to
run so many reports to analyze each piece of the puzzle its ridicules. Why
so many, you have to read all labor tickets just to get the total scrap
quantity, you have to read all Descrepant Material Report records to get
total discrepant quantity, you have to look at all operations to look at
prior run quantities. You may as well include looking at outstanding
inspection processing, and dmr records. I hope you get the picture.
