To access the options contained in the Activity screen the user must enter their employee ID. This can be scanned from an employee ID badge, selected from the list of employees, or manually entered if known.

 

After selecting the required employee the user must click on the ACTIVITY button.

 

clip3243

 

The main Activity screen will now be displayed permitting the user to choose from the various functions.

 

clip3244

 

The user has a list of options available. Depending on how SFDC is configured, some options may be hidden, other will be available via the EXTRA/PREVIOUS buttons which will take the user to additional options available, or return them to the previous set of options respectively, with the MAIN MENU option returning the employee to the initial employee selection screen.

 

The following lists the options available via SFDC, and what they allow the employee to do.

 

Job On

This option permits an employee to log time spent working on a job / works order.  When this option is selected, the user will be prompted for the details of the WO they wish to record their time against.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10412 Mar. 10 16.36

 

The user must now using the keypad / number pad enter the Works Order No. that they want to log onto and click onto the ENTER button. Alternatively, the employee can choose a work order from the look-up by scrolling up and down the list to find the required job before pressing the ENTER button. Users with scanners would scan in the required Works Order No barcode from the job card at this point before pressing the ENTER button.

Pressing the CLEAR button will remove any wrongly chosen works order.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10413 Mar. 10 16.37

 

If the selected WO has a warning note set up against it, this will be displayed at the bottom of the SFDC screen to inform the user.

 

ScreenHunter_ 8401 Jul. 12 12.40

 

ScreenHunter_ 8399 Jul. 12 12.36

 

If the warning note is extensive, the user can click on the NOTES option at the bottom of the SFDC screen to see the complete note.

 

ScreenHunter_ 8400 Jul. 12 12.36

 

After selecting the required works order, the user must now enter the work order operation number they are jobbing onto. This can be done using the keypad / number pad to enter the operation number that they wish to log onto and then clicking the ENTER button. Alternatively, the employee can choose an operation number from the look-up by scrolling up and down the list to find the required operation before pressing the ENTER button. Users with scanners would scan in the required operation number barcode from the job card at this point before pressing the ENTER button.

Pressing the CLEAR button will remove any wrongly chosen operation numbers.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10414 Mar. 10 16.37

 

If the operation selected has a required skill set against it, then the system will check to ensure the current employee has the required skills against their employee record. If the employee does not have the required skills, SFDC will highlight this and stop the employee from jobbing onto the process.

 

ScreenHunter_2073 Aug. 30 13.59

 

If the selected operation has SFDC NOTES recorded against it, these will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. The user will also have a NOTES option which will allow them to open up the SFDC note to read in full.

 

ScreenHunter_743 Oct. 19 09.46

 

 

ScreenHunter_744 Oct. 19 09.46

 

Depending on how SFDC is configured, the employee may now be prompted for the Work Centre they are working at. If the system is configured to default to the planned work centre set on the WO operation, the system will assume this is the work centre being jobbed onto and will not prompt the user to enter. If the system is configured to prompt the user for the work centre, then the prompt will be displayed, but will default to the planned work centre against the selected operation.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10415 Mar. 10 16.37

 

Alternatively the employee can choose a work centre from the look-up by scrolling up and down the list to find the required job before pressing the ENTER button. Users with scanners would scan in the required work centre barcode from the job card at this point before pressing the ENTER button.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10416 Mar. 10 16.38

 

Depending on how SFDC is configured, the employee may now be prompted to say whether they are recording setup time, or run time. This is done with the by asking Are You Setting Op?  If this option is enabled,  the employee must now use the keypad / number pad to state whether they are recording set up time or not. The employee should select either the YES or NO button on the keypad and then pressing the ENTER button.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10417 Mar. 10 16.38

On pressing the ENTER key the user will be prompted to confirm the selection of the chosen works order / job.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10418 Mar. 10 16.38

 

On confirming the works order details a screen similar to the following will appear displaying details of the selected job. The employee can, if desired, job onto more than one works order at a time by clicking back onto the JOB ON button again, and repeating the process above.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10411 Mar. 10 16.34

 

At this point, the system will start recording the employees time against the selected work order and operation. This will continue until the system is told otherwise.

 

 

Job Off

This option is used by the employee when they complete a period of work, or finish recording lost, unplanned or rework time.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10801 Apr. 25 08.24

 

To job off what the employee is currently doing, they should click the JOB OFF option. Like most of the SFDC options, the employee will then be presented with a list of questions to record the required information.

Firstly, the employee will be prompted to enter how many units the completed during their time. If the employee did not process any units during their time, they should enter 0. The employee should click ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10800 Apr. 25 08.13

 

The NOTES option can be used to record specific notes against the employees's timesheet record if required too.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10803 Apr. 25 08.29

 

If the system has the additional Quality module switched on, the employee may be prompted for a scrap quantity, an associated scrap reason and also asked whether a non-conformance (NCR) needs to be raised. If the Quality module is not switched on, these questions will be skipped.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10802 Apr. 25 08.28

 

If the employee did not scrap any units during their time, they should enter 0. The employee should click ENTER to proceed. The NOTES option allows the user to record scrap notes if required.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10804 Apr. 25 08.32

 

Once the employee has entered a scrap quantity, they will be prompted for a scrap reason.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10805 Apr. 25 08.34

 

The user can select a reason from the pre-defined list by clicking on the button available. Once selected, the user can click ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10806 Apr. 25 08.35

 

Next question prompts the user as to whether an NCR needs to be raised. The user can respond using the YES/NO options onscreen, and clicking ENTER to proceed. If the user responds NO, then no NCR record will be created in the main system. If they respond YES, then a work order-related NCR will be created in the background. This will then be available in the Quality > Non-Conformance section of the main system.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10807 Apr. 25 08.35

 

If the employee was recording setup time for the job, and the system is configured to ask, they may then be prompted to ask whether they want to move onto run time straight away. Again, the employee can respond using the YES/NO buttons onscreen, clicking ENTER to proceed. If the employee responds NO, then they will simply be jobbed off their current set up period. If they respond YES, the system will job them off their set up period, and start recording a new period of run time against the same work order and operation.

 

 

 

ScreenHunter_ 10808 Apr. 25 08.41

 

If the employee was previously recording run time, instead of being asked whether they wish to Job On to Run Time?, they will be asked if the operation is complete.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10810 Apr. 25 09.40

 

The user can again use the YES/NO options to confirm. If the employee has completed the operation in its entirely (i.e. all units processes, no further work to be done at this stage) then they can respond YES. This will proceed to mark the work order operation as complete and remove the operation from the list of outstanding operations in the system. If the employee responds is unsure, or if further work will be required, then the employee should click NO. This will simply job off the employee, and the work order operation will remain open for further time to be recorded.

 

Once all the questions have been answered, the employee will be asked to click ENTER to confirm.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10811 Apr. 25 09.40

 

At this stage, the system will complete the timesheet details, including any scrap information, and update the associated work order and operation accordingly. If the employee asked for an NCR to be created, this will also be created in the system. The employee will also be returned to the main Activity screen.

 

 

Pause

This option allows the employee to "pause" what they are working on, with the subsequent time recorded against a default lost time category. Returning to the job will "unpause" the employee, stop recording their absence time as lot time, and return them to the WO/op they were working on.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10792 Apr. 24 12.33

 

The PAUSE option is used when the employee above is currently working on a job. When the employee clicks this option, the system automatically starts a lost time timesheet for the employee against the default lost time category, and stops recording time against the work order operation they were working on.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10794 Apr. 24 12.36

 

No time will be recorded against the WO and operation the employee had been working on while "paused". Upon returning, the employee can click the PAUSE option again to indicate their return, stop the recording of lost time, and put them back onto the work order operation they were previously working on.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10795 Apr. 24 12.38

 

 

Lost On

This option allows the user to record time NOT associated with work orders. This is useful for tracking their activity when not working on jobs, and can be used to capture time spent in training, carrying out general maintenance, or housekeeping, etc. The lost time categories available can be set up in the Maintenance > List Maintenance > Lost Time Categories section.

On clicking the LOST button, the system will prompt the employee for the lost time category to be recorded against.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10814 Apr. 25 10.38

 

The employee can select from the pre-defined list by clicking on the search option. The user can select the relevant option and click ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10815 Apr. 25 10.38

 

Next, the employee will be prompted for the work centre they are working at. This is prompted to establish where the employee should be working, and to get the hourly cost rate which is used to put a cost on the lost time period.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10816 Apr. 25 10.38

 

Again, the employee can enter the work centre ID if known, or select from the list via the search option, clicking ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10817 Apr. 25 10.39

 

Next, the employee will be prompted to ask if they wish to add notes to the timesheet. The employee can respond using the YES/NO options onscreen.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10818 Apr. 25 10.39

 

Responding YES will provide the employee with a box to enter any notes they wish to add. The employee can enter the text, and then click ENTER to complete the process.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10819 Apr. 25 10.39

 

Responding NO will simply prompt the user to click ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10820 Apr. 25 10.40

 

Once the employee completes the questions, they will be returned to the main Activity screen and the system will start recording their time as lost time against the selected category.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10821 Apr. 25 10.40

 

Once the user has completed this period of time, they can use the JOB OFF button to finish the lost time period.

 

 

Rework

This option allows the user to record their time as "rework". This option is used when additional time is required on a work order operation specifically when redoing/reworking units that have already been done. This will record the time as a "rework" timesheet against the selected work order and operation, and can be used to analyse rework generally too.
 

On clicking onto the REWORK button, the user will asked to enter information relating to the required works order, operation number and work centre.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10823 Apr. 25 11.16

 

The user can enter the work order number manually, from the search list option and clicking ENTER to proceed, or by scanning the barcode on their job card document.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10825 Apr. 25 11.17

 

Next, the employee will be prompted to enter the operation number of the selected work order.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10826 Apr. 25 11.17

 

Again, this can be entered manually, selected via the search list option and clicking ENTER, or scanned from the job card document.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10827 Apr. 25 11.26

 

Next, the employee is prompted for the work centre that they are going to be working at. If the system is configured to default to the planned work centre, the selected operation's work centre ID will auto-populate, however, the employee can select any other work centre as required by entering/selecting the work centre ID to be used for the rework process. Once selected, the employee can click ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10828 Apr. 25 11.27

 

Next, the employee will be prompted to enter a rework reason. This is simply a category for the rework, and can be used for further analysis of rework more generally.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10829 Apr. 25 11.51

 

Again, the user can use the search option to select the reason from the pre-defined list. The list of reasons available can be set up in the Maintenance > List Maintenance > Work Order Rework Reasons section. Clicking ENTER will proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10830 Apr. 25 11.55

 

Finally, the employee will be asked if they wish to record notes, using the YES/NO buttons to respond. These notes will be recorded against the rework timesheet created by this process.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10831 Apr. 25 11.55

 

If the employee responds YES, they will be prompted to enter the notes before clicking ENTER to complete the process.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10832 Apr. 25 11.55

 

If the employee responds NO, they will be prompted to click ENTER to complete the process.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10833 Apr. 25 11.55

 

Once the process is complete, the employee will be returned to the main Activity screen, and will show that they are recording rework time against the selected work order and operation.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10834 Apr. 25 12.10

 

Once the employee has completed the rework, they can use the JOB OFF option to complete the rework period.

 

 

Unplanned

This option allows the employee to record unplanned time against a WO. This could be due to unforeseen circumstances, or could be because additional work which was not identified initially is now required. Using the UNPLANNED option will add an additional operation to the work order, numbering them from a start of 900, 910, etc. depending on how many unplanned bookings are made by employees. Like the other SFDC options, the employee will be prompted for the information required before the system starts recording the unplanned time against the selected work order.

 

Clicking the UNPLANNED option will prompt the employee for the work order number.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10837 Apr. 25 13.05

 

As with other SFDC options, the user can manually enter this, or select from the search option, clicking ENTER to proceed. Scanning the work order number barcode on the Job Card document can also be done.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10838 Apr. 25 13.05

 

Next, the employee will be prompted to select the work centre the work is being done at.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10839 Apr. 25 13.06

 

Again, the employee can manually enter this, or use the search option to select from the list, pressing ENTER once selected.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10840 Apr. 25 13.06

 

Finally, the employee will be asked to confirm whether they are recording set up time or run time.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10841 Apr. 25 13.06

 

The employee can respond using the YES/NO buttons. Clicking the YES option will record unplanned set up time against the work order and new operation. Clicking NO will start recording run time against the work order and new operation.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10842 Apr. 25 13.07

 

Once all the details have been entered, the employee will be prompted to click ENTER to proceed. Doing so will return the employee to the main Activity screen and show them recording unplanned time against the selected work order.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10843 Apr. 25 13.07

 

Once the employee has completed the unplanned work, they can use the JOB OFF option to complete their period of work.

 

Booking Ref On

This option allows employees to job onto a specific booking reference, where the booking reference represents a collection of individual WOs. The booking reference itself needs to exist in advance of this option being used, and would be created via the Work Orders > Booking Ref section in the main system. For more information on booking references and how they are created, please see the Booking Reference section of the manual.

 

When the user selects this option, they are first prompted for the work centre they are working at.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10844 Apr. 25 13.51

 

They can manually enter the work centre, or select the work centre via the search option. Once selected, the employee clicks ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10845 Apr. 25 13.51

 

Next, the employee will be asked whether they are recording set up time, or run time. The employee can use the YES/NO options onscreen to respond. Responding YES will record the employee's time as setup time, while selecting NO will record their time as run time. Clicking ENTER will proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10847 Apr. 25 13.56

 

Next, the employee must select the booking ref that they are jobbing onto.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10848 Apr. 25 13.56

 

Again, this can be manually entered, selected from the list via the search option, or scanned from the booking ref document which may have been provided. Employee can click the ENTER button to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10849 Apr. 25 13.57

 

Once all the details have been entered, the employee will be prompted to click ENTER to proceed. This will return the employee to the main Activity screen, and job them onto the selected booking ref.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10851 Apr. 25 14.06

 

When the employee jobs off, they will be asked if the are asked if all the work at the work centre is complete and also whether all the work against the booking reference is complete too. Once confirmed, the system pro-ratas the recorded time across all instances of the selected work centre and across all work orderss under the booking reference based on the individual instances planned time; work orders with more planned time for the selected work centre will have a larger proportion of the recorded time. Any work orders in the booking reference that have no instances of the selected work centre will have no time allocated to it.

 

 

Group On/Group On Master WO

These allows the employee to job on to multiple work orders at the same time on the same work centre. This can be a selection of individual work orders, or a selection of master work orders and their child work orders. The time spent on the jobs will be split on a pro-rata basis across the all the work orders. This functions in a similar way to the Booking Ref function where a user can create pre-defined groups of work orders, and an employee can job onto the single booking reference, however the GROUP ON/GROUP ON MASTER WO allows the employee to create the list of work orders, or master work orders, "on the fly" (i.e. the list of work orders doesn't need to be created in advance), allowing the employee to select the work orders they have in front of them.

 

After selecting the GROUP ON button, the employee must first specify the work centre they are working at.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10870 Apr. 29 08.22

 

The employee can select the work centre via the search button to the right of the text box. Alternatively the work centre number can be entered manually if known. Once the work centre is selected, the user must press ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10871 Apr. 29 08.22

 

The employee will then be asked to confirm whether they are recording set up time or run time. The employee can respond using the YES/NO options onscreen.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10872 Apr. 29 08.23

 

The employee will then be asked to click ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10873 Apr. 29 08.23

 

Next, the employee will be prompted to enter the work orders they are jobbing onto. The employee can select the work orders via the search button to choose from a list of work orders available with the selected work centre in their operation list. Alternatively, the employee can manually enter the work orders, or scan the barcode on the job card document.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10876 Apr. 29 08.24

 

Once the employee has selected the work order number, they will then be prompted to select the operation number.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10877 Apr. 29 08.24

 

Again, the employee can scan the operation number barcode from the job card, select via the search option, or manually enter it if know, pressing ENTER to confirm.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10878 Apr. 29 08.24

 

This will add it to the WO No list on the left of the screen.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10880 Apr. 29 08.25

 

This process can be repeated until the WO No list has been populated with all the work orders that the user is jobbing on to. If a work order is entered in error, the employee can select the work order in the list, and click the REMOVE option to remove it.

Once all the work orders and operations have been selected, the employee can job onto them all by clicking the GROUP ON button. SFDC will then return to the Activity screen for the employee and will show the jobs that the employee is jobbed on to. When the employee is jobbed onto a group it will show each work order that is part of that group.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10882 Apr. 29 08.26

 

 

The GROUP ON MASTER WO option works in a similar way but is based on the employee selecting a master work order(s) and the work centre they are currently working at. As per the GROUP ON option above, the employee will be prompted to select their work centre, and whether they are recording set up or run time. Once this has been confirmed, they will be prompted to select the master work orders they are jobbing onto.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10887 Apr. 29 08.51

 

Again, the user can select the master work order via the search option, by scanning a barcode on the job card document or by manually entering it.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10888 Apr. 29 08.53

 

Once selected, the employee can click ENTER to add it to the list of master work orders being jobbed onto. The employee can repeat this process until all master work orders have been added to the list.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10890 Apr. 29 08.54

 

Once done, the employee can click the GROUP ON MASTER WO option to job onto all the selected master work orders. This will return the employee to the Activity screen and show all the associated work orders being worked on.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10891 Apr. 29 08.54

 

Once the employee is finished working on the jobs, they will use the JOB OFF option to job off all the selected work orders. When the employee jobs off, the recorded time will then be pro-rata'd across all the work orders selected.

 

 

Amend Group Job

This option allows the employee to amend an existing GROUP ON/GROUP ON MASTER WO collection of work orders. Clicking this option returns the employee to the GROUP ON or GROUP ON MASTER WO screen where they previously selected the work orders and/or operations to be grouped onto.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10891 Apr. 29 08.54

 

While the employee is working on a group of WOs and operations, clicking the AMEND GROUP JOB option returns them to the screen where they chose the WOs and operations to be included.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10892 Apr. 29 09.52

 

The employee can now add or amend WOs and operations as necessary. Clicking the AMEND GROUP will save any changes and return the employee to the main Activity screen and continue recording the employee's time.

 

NOTE: Work orders/master work orders removed from a GROUP ON/GROUP ON MASTER WO collection will NOT have any time recorded against it, regardless of how long the employee has recorded. The recorded time will only be pro-rata'd at the point the employee jobs off the collection and will be based on the work orders and operations at the point of jobbing off.

 

 

Time Sheet Entry

This option allows an employee to manually enter a time sheet for a job or manually record some lost time. This can be used if the employee forgets to log on to a works order and wishes to record the time after he or she has finished. This functions in a very similar way to the timesheets that can be accessed through the Labour section of the main system. More information on time sheets is available in the Labour > Timesheet section of this manual.

When the employee clicks this option, they will be presented with a Timesheet Browse screen, which will show any of the employee's timesheets for the current date by default.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10893 Apr. 29 09.59

 

The employee can use the various filters available to see other timesheets recorded by themselves, clicking REFRESH to apply the selected filters, and update the grid with the timesheets that meet the criteria set by the employee.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10894 Apr. 29 10.01

 

ScreenHunter_ 10895 Apr. 29 10.04

(Example filters applied for timesheet date and operation number)

 

The employee can edit any listed timesheet by double-clicking on it. This will open the timesheet up, allowing the employee to make the necessary changes.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10897 Apr. 29 10.11

 

Once any changes have been made, the employee can click ACCEPT to save the timesheet.

 

The NEW STANDARD option allows the employee to record additional timesheets for themselves too. Clicking this option present the employee with the following screen where they can enter the relevant details.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10896 Apr. 29 10.09

 

The employee can record multiple timesheets from here, simply taking a new row for each timesheet required.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10898 Apr. 29 10.17

 

Once the employee has finished entering the details, they can click ACCEPT to save the timesheets. Once done, clicking CLOSE will return the employee to the Timesheet Browse screen. Once the employee is finished viewing or creating timesheets, clicking CLOSE will return the employee to the Activity screen for themselves.

 

 

Op Complete

This option allows the employee mark a work order operation as complete without needing to job on/off to do so. Like the other SFDC options, the employee will be prompted for the information required before updating the specified work order operation as complete.

Clicking this option will prompt the employee to enter the work order in question.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10852 Apr. 25 15.52

 

The user can manually enter, select from the list via the search option, or scan the work order barcode on the Job Card document. Once selected, clicking ENTER will proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10853 Apr. 25 15.52

 

Next, the employee will be prompted to select the operation number to be completed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10854 Apr. 25 15.52

 

Again, the employee can manually enter, select from the search list or scan the operation number from a Job Card document. Clicking ENTER will proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10855 Apr. 25 15.53

 

Once the employee has selected the operation number, they will be asked whether the operation is complete. The employee can use the onscreen YES/NO options to respond.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10899 Apr. 29 10.21

 

Once confirmed, the employee will also be prompted for a quantity complete. This allows the employee to record any additional units that have been processed against the selected operation. If the employee simply wants to mark the operation as complete, they can enter zero for this, clicking ENTER to proceed.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10900 Apr. 29 10.28

 

Clicking ENTER to complete the process will proceed to update the selected operation to COMPLETE status, and also record any additional quantity entered by the employee before returning the employee to their Activity screen.

 

 

Book Qty

This option allows the employee to record a booked quantity against a WO operation without needing to job on/off. Selecting this option prompts the employee for a WO number, operation number and the quantity they wish to book against the operation. They can also record a scrap quantity too using this option if the additional Quality module has been activated. The employee will also be shown the quantity booked to the operation so far on screen for reference when prompted for the QTY COMPLETE.

 

ScreenHunter_ 6526 Dec. 12 12.23

(Highlighting the quantity booked so far against the selected operation)

 

ScreenHunter_ 10902 Apr. 29 10.35

 

Once all the details have been entered, clicking ENTER creates a time sheet with zero time, but with the recorded booked quantity against the selected work order operation, before returning the employee to their Activity screen.

 

 

First Off Inspected

This option allows the employee to update the first off inspection status of a selected work order operation to indicate how the first off inspection process went. The employee will be prompted to enter the work order number and operation, who carried out the inspection, and the results of the inspection, pass or fail, along with notes if required. If the inspection was a fail, then the employee will be able to enter a fail reason too.

 

ScreenHunter_ 10903 Apr. 29 10.41
