One Employee Multiple Jobs

system · November 9, 2001, 3:21pm

Ed,

I didn't ask, though I agree with you: it should be proportionate to the
estimates, not exactly the same as the estimates. If it only backflushes
the estimate (and makes the rest "Lost Time"?) then, in your example, there
would be 2 hours of costs that wouldn't be correctly accounted for.
Hopefully development has seen the folly in such an approach and has
programmed it to use proportions to apply all the actual time.

Jon,
Thanks for pursuing this. Will this backflush be proportionately or
exactly
as the estimate. If I have jobs totaling 10hrs and I have actual of 12
hrs
how many hours get backflushed? I'm hoping 12 hrs I'm fearing 10 hrs. It
will be a useful feature I hope they did it right.

I just wrote Tom Wolfe of Epicor on this topic and he was kind enough to
set
me straight. Here's what he had to say (I deleted some unrelated stuff,
which is why it starts with question 2):

Hi John - Nice to hear from you.

Question #2 - If I understand your question correctly the rumor is true
but
not related to the AMM module. You can run jobs concurrently and backflush
the labor based on the estimates. This is a standard enhancement that
comes
with the upgrade to 5.1.

I hope that answers your questions.

Here's the situation. We have a robot welder that has 5 stations. 1
employee loads and unloads the parts into each station. Each station is a
different seq. on a job. It could be different jobs or it could be
different assemblies same job. Each station takes a different amount of
time. Each station can have different quantities and as a result different
start and stop times. Does anyone else have this situation and if so how do
you handle it? Right now we just divide the time by 5, but the quoters are
starting to complain about our inaccuracy. I should mention the President
of the company is a quoter.

Ask the robot how much time it spent on each job/seq and then tell him to enter it into Vantage. :-)

We do nesting on our laser, and it presents us with the same problem you
have described. I've solved our problem by using a spreadsheet that figures
the ratio of estimated times and disperses the actual time according to that
ratio.

So for instance, if I ran a nest that included one job where the estimate
was 1 hour, another that was 3 hours, and a third that was 4 hours, and it
actually took 16 hours to run the nest, I would allocate 2 hours, 6 hours,
and 8 hours respectively. This approach takes into account the fact that
some jobs take more of the machine's time than others.

I do a similar calculation using material estimates (many parts out of 1
sheet), but you're probably not interested in issuing material at the
welding stage.

Try in your training database setting up each station as a work center to
give you control over labor rate, burden, queue & move time, etc... You
could maybe use this to get better reporting.

Mark Pladson has a right up on a suggestion I made last summer to change the
logic in Vantage so that when you are running multiple jobs concurrently
time could be spread out in a more logical manner then simply dividing the
actual time evenly.

What I had suggested was to change the WC definition screen so we could have
multiple options for how we want time spread out. As in a drop down list
of choices instead of simply having a check off box.

If memory serves the list was something like:
(1) Split time evenly for concurrent jobs ( the choice we have now )
(2) Split time proportionately based on Qty's requested from each job
(3) Split time proportionately based on Qty's produced for each job
(4) Split time proportionately based on original time estimates

I think there were a few more but my last defrag dropped those clusters ...

If you are interested in seeing this logic changed it won't hurt for you to
contact Mark Pladson ...

I have entered an enhancement request for this issue. We call this
clustering and we asked for an entry where you can select multiple
operations to one cluster record.
The shop floor employee clocks time to the cluster operation and after
completion the system should divide the time to original operations by the
estimates (optional).
The selection options for operations of the cluster should be similar to the
selection options of the cut list in vantage 5.00.

The split times options of Todd are a very welcome addition to this
enhancements I would say.

Jon,
Thanks for pursuing this. Will this backflush be proportionately or exactly
as the estimate. If I have jobs totaling 10hrs and I have actual of 12 hrs
how many hours get backflushed? I'm hoping 12 hrs I'm fearing 10 hrs. It
will be a useful feature I hope they did it right.

I just wrote Tom Wolfe of Epicor on this topic and he was kind enough to set
me straight. Here's what he had to say (I deleted some unrelated stuff,
which is why it starts with question 2):

Hi John - Nice to hear from you.

Question #2 - If I understand your question correctly the rumor is true but
not related to the AMM module. You can run jobs concurrently and backflush
the labor based on the estimates. This is a standard enhancement that comes
with the upgrade to 5.1.

I hope that answers your questions.

Thanks,
