Labour Production Entry

This option allows to enter production related realistic details of 'Inside Operations' being performed while a Work Order is under execution. It keeps track of the quantity of each Work Order Item produced on the respective Work Center. Details of each machine such as setup time, operation time, overtime and idle time involved in manufacturing the Work Order Item on respective Shop Floors is also maintained.

Please note that Labour Production Details can be entered in a sequential order of Operations (considering both 'Inside' and 'Outside') mentioned in the Work Order. Lets take an example of a Work Order that has a Process Sheet as follows -

Sr. No      Inside/Outside      Operation Number

--------------------------------------------------------------

1.                     Inside                         1.

2.                     Outside                      2.

3.                     Inside                         3.

In this case, the Labour Production details will be first entered for the Operation Number 1 as it is an 'Inside' operation. The Operation Number 2 which is an 'Outside' Operation will be performed next. The third Operation performed would be again an 'Inside' Operation but its Labour Production details can be entered only after the second Operation has been performed.

IMMS allows to enter Labour Production details for both Rework Production as well as Normal Production through this option. Rework Production details can be entered only for those Work Orders that require some quantity of the Item to be reworked due to some reasons.

Further please note that once some quantity of Work Order Item is produced, its Quality Control Checks can be done through Labour Production QC Entry option in Quality Control & Assurance Module. Quality Checks can be entered only for those Operations of the Work Order that have 'QC Reqd' flag set as 'Yes' .

Once Production (both Normal and Rework) is booked through this option, it can NOT be changed at later stage. But IMMS provides a separate option to change the already booked time of Production through Labour Production Entry For Time Change option.

Click for Example

The below screen-shot shows how to enter the production related details against each Work Order belonging to the SJO for Mountain Bicycle.

 

Note: Once the production is booked for all the Assembly Items of the Mountain Bicycle, the assembled items can be received into respective Warehouses. The next step is to assemble the Parent Item of Mountain Bicycle using these assembly items. In order to do so, these Assembly Items need to be further issued to the shop floor so that the production of Mountain Bicycle can be booked.
