Process Sheet Master records various in-house as well as sub-contracted processes required during manufacturing of an item. This helps to schedule and keep track of shop floor activities.
In IMMS, Items which can be manufactured within the company are considered as having 'Inside Operations' and those which are made at Vendor's place are considered as having 'Outside Operations'.
For 'Inside Operations', Process Sheet records information regarding specific work centres engaged in production along with their Operations, Standard Setting Time and Standard Operation Time. Time schedules are maintained for all inside operations which in turn generates WIP (Work In Process) reports.
For 'Outside Operations', Process Sheet records the Operations and labour costs for those operations.
Apart from this Quality Checks are also taken care if required for a specific operation.
The screen is divided into two tabs to store various information related to the Process Sheet. Please click on the respective tab to read more information about it.
Continuing with the example of our Mountain Bicycle, the saddles of the bicycle are available in two colours, black and blue. This requires dyeing of the leather which is not done by your company. So, the uncoloured saddles must be out sourced to the third party to perform the dyeing process on them. Once dyed saddles are received, they are assembled within the company itself. The screen shot below, shows the Process Sheet details for the "Uncoloured Saddle" having only an 'Outside' operation.
