Raw Material

paul, now you are getting into engineering procedures and ECO processes. Our Engineers create 2xxxxx parts for drawings that start out as R & D parts which may or may not get assigned to a 71xxxxxxx part#. We also use 9xxxx part#s for our electronics R &D parts. Thats the extent of our part number ranges.
All approved production level, purchased and or manufactured parts get a sequential 71xxxxxxx part#. Engineers used to check out the next sequential part# in a manual number generator system but now they search in Vantage for the last 71XXXXXXX part# entered and select the next one in sequence and enter it into Vantage. Is this what you mean?
Thanks

I guess the better question was how did you come up with your internal
number parts? Did you use some sort of system, or just on like a next
number type things and the description contains all the pertinent info.
Sorry for any confusion.

Not sure if I understand your problem with the part numbering system- We
assigned a part numbers:
71002752 Desc- Bar,RD, 10" NITRONIC 60, Search Word BAR,RD.,Type
Purchased and Stocked
71002754 BAR, RD, 1", NITRONIC 50HS etc.
These parts are assigned to a RAW MATERIAL -Sub-sea PArt Class.
I don't know if this answers your questions or helps you out at all with
whatever issue you are encountering.

Paul, we buy Nitronic steel bar stock as part of our business process
and set it up with our internal part# in Vantage with Dimensions to it
and lot track it etc. Have you worked with Part, Whole Part,Dimensions
etc. We typically issue portion of it to our subcontract jobs and
receive back 4 widgets (example) and track the remaining as well.

Two questions for the group, but first some background.

Our raw material, coils of steel, is almost always shipped with the freight
charges billed prepaid and add. Therefore the cost in Vantage reflects our
actual/total costs. We are now entering an agreement with an existing major
customer where we purchase the material. Until now they have supplied it. The
freight charges will now be billed to us by the carrier. Because this is several
million dollars worth of steel annually and thousands of dollars in freight
charges, we will be monitoring our inventory and costs very closely. Obviously,
we need our quantities and costs in Vantage to be accurate. Inventory will be
costed by the pound.

Question 1: What is the best way to add these third party freight costs to the
part? Cost adjustment? Is there another way? For raw material we use last cost.
If it is via cost adjustment, my guess is we need ot take the freight cost,
divide it by the number of pounds and add that number to the part cost.

Question 2: We will be looking for an automated way of inventorying this raw
material. We will want to know how many lbs. we have, how many coils of each
part, how much each coil weighs and assign a unique serial # to each coil. The
supplier has said they are willing to label each coil per our specs. Vantage
will take care of the total lbs. issue, but I think we will be looking for a
third party software program where we can track the other info. I'm looking at
portable bar code readers that will store the info and then download it to an
Excel spreadsheet on a pc. We can then manipulate the data in Excel. Anyone out
there doing this? What hardware and software are you using? Any other ideas?

Thanks for the help.

There are a lot of facets to look at when looking at Raw Material. I
have seen many companies handle it very differently. Here are what we
looked at and how we answered;



Will the material be dimensionally tracked? Yes

What is the stock base unit? Inches

How will it be consumed? By Inches



We stated that a requirement of our part numbering system needed to
identify the material in such a way that it could be deciphered.
Version 6.1 and before had a 21 character part number limit we also
needed to adhere to. We ended up with the following;



6061T6XB00375X05000 which is basically broken out like this
AAAABBBCDDDDDXEEEEE where;



AAAA - is the material type - 6061

BBB - material process - T6X

C - Shape - B (bar)

DDDDD - Thickness

X = 'by'

EEEEE - Width



The decimal point is implied after the first DD and the first EE. So
the example given is 6061 T6 BAR 3/8" X 5".



We then dimensionally track the lengths, in inches so a dimension gets
setup as 1/[stocking length in inches]. So if the stocking length is
144 inches, it would be 1/144.



This system is not perfect, but runs nicely with 99% of our raw material
inventory. Where it tends to break down is in the material process
section. We have various levels of Q-Spec material that do not adhere
to 3 characters.



Also, in hindsight I would have changed the order a little. I would
have had it so it read like AAAACDDDDDXEEEEEBBB. That way the process
would be at the end. For sorting purposes, to see the shape and
thickness x width would have worked better.

We haven't determined what we are going to use for our base unit of
measure yet, since we are basically starting from scratch.

We will consume it the same way we stock it, for simplicity.

We will inventory on that unit as well.

For Raw Materials such as bar stock, we use family groups for material
types.



Example



50000 series 304

51000 series 316

52000 series Nitronic 60



As new part numbers are added we just assign the next part available in the
corresponding group.

Hope this helps,

We use non descriptive part numbering. You can easily search by description
in Vantage so the part number for new parts is whatever is the next in the
sequence. We use the same families for bar, flat plate, coil etc. Just
make sure your descriptions are consistent and complete



52014 - 316-L .005 X 24" wide coil

52015 - 316-L Bar 1.00 diameter

52016 - 316-L Bar 1.75" diameter

52022 - 316-L Bar 2.75" diameter

53005 - 304-L Bar 1.5" diameter

53006 - 304-L Bar 1.5625" diameter

53007 - 304 - .010 X 5" wide coil





Unit of measure is inches on bar and lbs on coil.

Remember your old Vista 4 Manuals? There were a couple of good structure
examples in there.
one was just about previously given where XXYYYYZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ is
the template. XX is the material type AL(Aluminum), SS(Stainless),
NI(Nitronic), BR(Brass), CR(Cold Rolled), DE (Delrin), etc. YYYY is the
material (6061, 2024, 7075, etc) and Z is the dimensions that would be
used for that material.

Whatever you do, don't forget to use your search field. The most common
use for it would be the material or hardware type (Pin, nut, bolt,
fastener, etc).

Paul, we buy Nitronic steel bar stock as part of our business process
and set it up with our internal part# in Vantage with Dimensions to it
and lot track it etc. Have you worked with Part, Whole Part,Dimensions
etc. We typically issue portion of it to our subcontract jobs and
receive back 4 widgets (example) and track the remaining as well.

Delrin, Aluminum and Steel. With in those categories we'll deal with
many different types and specs. For example, cold rolled, hot rolled,
nitronic, 6061, 2024, and 7075 just to name a few. As most of you know
Vista 4 was more forgiving with searching and what not, so in order to
track better and get better traceability, we want to re-create our raw
material parts, what do you guys use and suggest?

Thanks,

Paul

Not sure if I understand your problem with the part numbering system- We assigned a part numbers:
71002752 Desc- Bar,RD, 10" NITRONIC 60, Search Word BAR,RD.,Type Purchased and Stocked
71002754 BAR, RD, 1", NITRONIC 50HS etc.
These parts are assigned to a RAW MATERIAL -Sub-sea PArt Class.
I don't know if this answers your questions or helps you out at all with whatever issue you are encountering.

I guess the better question was how did you come up with your internal
number parts? Did you use some sort of system, or just on like a next
number type things and the description contains all the pertinent info.
Sorry for any confusion.
