Jennifer,
Old problem. Splitting time evenly when multiple jobs are being run
currently frequently does not yield an accurate representation of actual
time worked.
There is a open enhancement request on this issue to allow you to choose
your preference on how you want time split.
If memory serves the options discussed on the enhancement suggestion
included:
* Split time evenly ( current logic )
* Split time proportionately based on original estimated time ( 1 hr est.
job + 4 hr est. job run during a 5 hr window would split 1/5 to 1st job and
4/5's to second job )
* Split time proportionately based on qty requested ( same basic concept as
hrs - 10 pc job + 40 pc job would yield 10/50's to first job and 40/50's to
second job
* Split time proportionately based on actual qty produced ...
* Etc.
I've been asking for this logic for 6 years now ... someday, maybe ...
For your second issue - create a few shop employees that have $ 0.00 / hr
rates ... when your operators leave have them sign off of their normal
signon's and sign on using the zero rate dummy employees. This will give
you the correct burden rate without inflating your labor rates.

Subject: [Vantage] Labor Hours calculation and data collection
We are in the process of testing data collection. We have a group of
machines that the operator may start activity on 1 job and then after
everything is checked over he may start on activity on a second job but
hasn't ended activity on the first job because the machine is still
operating. This could happen with as many as five to six jobs per day. The
data collection module allows for this and it calculates the burden time OK,
but the labor hours is not ok. It divides the second job in half the third
job into thirds and so on. This means if the operator spends most of the
day on the 4th job that most of the time will still show up on the first
job. Has anyone else had a problem with this logic.
2nd question.
We have operators who work 1st and 3rd shift. The operators will leave the
machines run when they clock out and go home, then the machine may or maynot
still be running when the 3rd shift arrives. The operator will start
activity on that job when it is complete and needs something done with it,
but we have missed the hours that went on while no one was clocked in. I
was just wanting to know if anyone else had a similar issue, and if so then
how do you deal with this?
