Creating Jobs/BOM 6.1

Yahoo Archive
1
One of the problems I always have is letting Sales create jobs. Job
creation should be a production / production control function.

With the tools available, new production should not fall through the
cracks and until a job method is reviewed by engineering, the engineered
flag should not be set. This would keep purchasing from buying the wrong
items.

Engineering should have a dashboard BAQ that indicates all the jobs that
require engineering approval prioritized by due date. This gives them a
heads up and a priority list.

Subject: [Vantage] Creating Jobs/BOM 6.1



I'm curious how other companies using Vantage 6.1 create their jobs. We
are a tube fabricating company using hundreds of different types of
tubing. When customer service creates a new job for a new part, they
get details from the quote for that part number. This is causing
problems for purchasing because the quote may use a material in the BOM
that is different than what Engineering will use for production. The
material shows up on purchasing's time phase report to buy so they
place the order because of long lead times, often before Engineering
gets a chance to review the methods. If it's a high volume part, then
there may be multiple jobs loaded this way. What procedure do other
companies use to avoid wrong materials? We're also ISO/TS16949 so
methods must be PPAP approved.
