We issue gauges/tools to a JOB.
Let’s call it a unique Tool/Gauge kit for that job which may contain 10+ different gauges, which travels with the job for the duration of the job (thru 8-9 operations) and a handful of Resource Groups. Three weeks from now, the same part may be manufactured, but the assemblage of tools/gauges will NOT be the same as the tool/gauge-KIT is not a static-combination of items (since some gauges need re-calibration, etc)
We have purchased the maint-module and understand how it is to be used.
All of our gauges require periodic re-calibration, some with OSP processing.
MAINT jobs will manage a resource out-of-service
We need to be able to audit/confirm which specific gauge was used on what job.

As a resource… on a MOM/OP… we’d need to update EVERY MOM per job with the specific Resources (gauges). Often, if we are behind schedule, we will need to run on two machines (I know, the set-up costs are doubled - augh!). Therefore, the jobqty is reduced on job 1, then a duplicate job creaded… etc.
AS Parts… using an example of a 6" caliper.
We have 22 calipers… create apart CAL-6 and LOT TRACK it… ergo 19 lots.
Each JOB/MOM will contain a part CAL-6 to be issued at OP 10
We will return-to-stock the part at EOJ (remember, possibility of more than 10+ gauges)
Manually must manage the re-calibration.
EX: Cal-6 lot 012 is due for re-calibration on 10-10 but is on a job scheduled to finish 10-3
If the job runs late.....
If job finished early and cal-6 012 lot get s re-issued....
We do plan on having a RESOURCE of CAL-6-001 thru 019 and could put the part on hold in anticipation of re-calibration.
Any other thoughts?
Anyone managing this in a better way?
Feedback?
