Enter Filter for Shop Floor Workbench
Explanation
This activity is used to enter a filter for the shop floor workbench if necessary. The filter controls which
operations that should be populated in the dispatch list, and how they should be sorted. The filter also controls
which work center resources the user can report and monitor downtime for.
It is possible to connect the filter to an employee or a team. This will automatically populate operations
according to the filter when the employee or team identifies in the shop floor workbench page.
- Select which operations to be displayed as default by selecting an option in the Selection drop-down.
Available options are:
- Al: All the operations except for those in Cancelled status will be displayed.
For performance reasons this option must be combined with a value in the Min and
Max fields in the Interval section.
- Executable: All the operations that have an available quantity that is possible to execute except
for those in statuses Planned, Parked, Cancelled and
Closed and/or with Scheduling Status set to Unscheduled
will be displayed. When an operation has a quantity that is possible to process, the Executable
Qty is greater than 0.
- Released: All the operations except for those in Planned,
Parked, Cancelled and Closed statuses will be displayed.
The operations that can perform further are listed here.
- Ongoing: Internal operations with active setup or run time clocking will be displayed. Outside
operations with shipped WIP quantity greater than completed quantity will be displayed.
- My Ongoing: Operations having ongoing labor clocking reported by the employee or the team entered
in to the shop floor workbench will be displayed.
- Interrupted: Operations with Interrupted status will be displayed.
- Milestones: Similar to Executable, but only operations with the
Milestone option enabled will be displayed. Non-milestone operations are ignored. That
affects the calculation of Executable Qty since a quantity that has become available on a
non-milestone operation is considered to be available for the next milestone operation instead.
- Select how the operations should be sorted by selecting an option in the Dispatch Rule list. Available
options are:
- As Scheduled: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the Planned Start
Date.
- Earliest Due Date: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the Shop Order
Need Date.
- Operation Due Date: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the Planned
Finish Date.
- Shortest Process Time: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the Remaining
Manufacturing Hours.
- Shop Order Priority: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the shop order
priority. Adjustment Factor is used to sort the operations in descending order. Operations
having the same adjustment factor are sorted according to the Planned Start Date. If shop order
priority is not defined, Adjustment factor is considered to be 100.
- Operation Priority: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the operation
priority. Operations with no priority value will be placed after the operations with priority value.
Operations having the same priority value are sorted according to the Planned Start
Date.
- Grouping: Operations are sorted in the ascending order according to the Group by
Note.
- Operation Block: Operations are sorted ascending according to the planned start date/time of the
operation block which to the operation is connected. Operations not connected to an operation block will be
placed after operations with an operation block connection.
- None: Operations are not sorted. This option gives the best performance.
- Select a value from the Work Center Code drop-down. Available options are:
- All: Operations connected to both internal and outside work centers will be displayed.
- Internal Work Center: Only operations connected to internal work centers will be displayed.
- Outside Work Center: Only operations connected to outside work centers will be displayed.
- If preferred, enter filter criteria for one or more departments, production lines, work centers and labor
classes. Note that you can select more than one value in each field.
- In Min and Max fields in the the Interval section, enter
the day period relative to today, as you want the operations to be displayed. Select whether to base the interval
on the operation planned start, or finish date/time in the Base Interval On drop-down.
If the filter should no longer be used, you can change the validity to Hidden, or
Blocked.
