Join Production
Explanation
This activity is used to start production (runtime) time for an employee or a team on an operation, or sequence
of operations where production is already ongoing.
To perform this activity from Shop Floor Workbench, select an operation with ongoing
production, but where the current employee or team is not reporting and click Join Production. It
is also possible to perform this activity in Operation Guide. Then you select an
operation in Shop Floor Workbench with ongoing setup, but where the current employee or
team is not reporting, open Operation Guide and click Join
Production.
Prerequisites
- A production (runtime) activity must have been started on the operation.
- The employee or team to join the production cannot already have an ongoing clocking on the operation.
- Reporting Mode must have been set to Employee Reporting on the used site.
- If an employee qualification requirement exists for the operation, and the qualification check for the site
is mandatory, then the employee must have those qualifications.
- If the employee has a valid work schedule for time and attendance reporting, the employee must be clocked in
for the day.
System Effects
- A new labor runtime clocking sequence for the employee or team will be created.
- If the employee or team is running an indirect job, this will be stopped.
- If the employee or team is running other operation(s), and the Allow Concurrent Operations
field on Shop Floor Employees or Shop Floor Teams page is set
to No, these operation(s) will be stopped.
