Material Issues

Maybe if you had the worker/workstation using a/the coil(s) as a warehouse, then each person could keep some on hand and use and issue as needed.

Just a thought.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a similar situation and is willing to
share how they handle it. We have spools of material that get wound. On a
particular job, we issue a whole spool to the job, but the shop uses as much
as they need and returns the rest.
Our first attempt we were issuing the quantity that was needed to
the job, and leaving the rest in inventory. Then when the shop returned the
spool we were issuing the difference to the job. The shop was not always
returning the spool and inventory was getting lost.
Our second attempt was that we issued the whole spool to the job,
and when it was returned deissued it from the job back to inventory. The
problem with this is that it doesn't show up on your time phase reports
correctly.
This is what I am thinking for our third attempt: Make a WIP
warehouse and transfer the spool to the WIP warehouse and then issue the
material from there. And when the shop brings it back to the inventory
warehouse transfer it from the WIP warehouse to the inventory warehouse.
The problem I have is when are we going to issue the material to the job.
Should we issue what is needed at the beginning of the job and do an
adjustment once we are done running. Or issue at the end of the job. I'm
leaning towards the first scenario. Any experience with this?
Thanks,

I normally would issue the entire spool to the job and then return the
balance to stock when the job is done. This would keep your inventory
correct. The third scenario where you put it into a WIP warehouse, and
issue it to the job from there should keep everything correct. It shouldn't
matter when you issue the material to the job if you exclude the WIP from
stock that is available for use. The only time it would be a problem is if
you do not have enough material for the job. You would have no way of
knowing that what was in the WIP warehouse was insufficient to complete the
job.

We are in the exact same boat. On a small job we can issue a 2000 pound coil
to a job, the job only needs 500 pounds, so for a period of time it is over
issued and over actual cost until the balance is returned to inventory.
Inversely inventory is sort, this is done by the way with a forklift with a
scale built in, the operator weighs what he delivers and weights what he
picks up. These in turn are just issues and returns in vantage. Lot tracking
is also done here using the material heat number as a lot.

We process issues and returns this way because it is the easiest/simplest
solution for the operator on the floor. We supplement this process with a
report which shows inventory balances above allocated requirements which
our purchasing person watches. In other words if purchasing sees supply low
enough on a TimePhase which signals them to reorder, they first have to
check the Over Issue report to make a big return in not in the works.

Hope this helps you Judy.

Judy;
Moving the material to a WIP warehouse is a good idea, you could use the job
number as the current location. One way for relieving inventory would be to
issue the amount of material required to the job and if they use more do
another issue. But I'm not sure why they would use more than needed unless
your BOM's don't have the correct quantity or you are allowing over-runs.

Another way to attack this problem would be to use the previously mention
warehouse and location and set this material up as a back flush item. This
would relieve the material based upon products reported. Of course it again
requires a proper quantity in the BOM. Should more material be used than
originally called for the additional usage could be posted when returning to
stock.

Hope this helps.

We have the same problem and to make matters worse we even send overage quantities to some of our vendors for use on items we are buying from them. As far as over issuing to
a job this will throw your raw material inventory way out of whack (money wise) year end raw material inventory will be under stated.
With material which is over issued in house we issue the exact amount to the job and then transfer the balance to a production bin location (usually the department or
supervisor it is going to) it is still in inventory but located in production. We always know where it is, hopefully how much we have, and it is also included in time phase.
We do not put it in another warehouse.
Extra parts we which we send to our vendors we do almost the same thing only in this instance we do have what we call Vendor Warehouse, with the bins being the vendors. This
allows us to draw a report on inventory located at our vendors and also send letters as to the inventory located at their plants and ask for verification of the
quantities.
