Scheduling
Reduced lead time
and fast responses are
critical in this industry.
E2 has enabled us to
better schedule the
shop capacity, and track
the jobs on the floor, all
of which are enabling us
to reduce our lead time
to our customer.
Mike Irion,
Senga Engineering
Our Scheduling Whiteboard, which is
accessed through our Quick View
feature, allows you to view a snapshot of
machine availability in a matter of seconds.
On-line, real-time monitoring capabilities give you up to the
minute status of:
Which machines are occupied
Which machines are idle
Which machines will be needed to finish parts already
in production
The machines availability can be kept on your screen while
you simultaneously allocate available time to the part being
produced. The Scheduling Whiteboard can also be customized
to view a specific day, week or month.
When allocating time to a job, users can specify forward
or backward scheduling for a job in order to meet specific
customer or shop requirements. In addition, users may specify
that time left calculations be based on pieces remaining
using the actual time accumulated during the job. This supplies
a much more accurate percent complete figure.
Each workcenter can have its own days available and shifts
available specified. This allows the user to selectively enable
workcenters for each shift and day of the week.
When your customer calls wanting the status of their parts,
you will instantaneously be able to tell them where their parts
are, what remains to be completed, and the schedule for
finishing the work.
The E2 Shop System also contains a
variety of job related reports including:
Job Schedules
Backlog Summaries
Machine Loading
Margin Summaries
Hourly Rate Summary
Order Entry Summary
Production Summary
Shipment Summary
Each report available within the system can be queried based
on user specific criteria. You can look at all your jobs at once,
or generate a report specific to a customer, part number, date
range, due dates, etc.
Data Collection, Time and Attendance
time tracking can be done in three
Data Collection has
given us precise estimates
concerning our profits
when repairing units as
well as the profits when
building and developing
new equipment.
Larry Goodman,
Airtek Incorporated
The E2 Shop System is so flexible that
different ways:
Manual data entry from timecards
Touch Screen data collection
Time Clock data collection
In order to manually record time information, users may use
the time and attendance feature built into the E2 Shop System
to record clock-ins and clock-outs for daily attendance.
The Time Ticket feature built into the E2 Shop System allows
users to record time information about a job. Through point &
click convenience, users can enter:
Employee ID or code
Job number
Step number
Workcenter
Set-up times
Cycle times
Pieces Good/Pieces Scrapped
In order to automate this process, both the touch screen and
time clock data collection systems allow employees to track
their daily hours, hours specific to operations on a job, and
machine time through simple on-screen or on-clock data
entry. To make it even easier, laser gun readers are available
which enable your employees to simply scan their bar-coded
employee badges and job information from bar-coded routers.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES INCLUDE:
Prevent time from being posted to a job that shipped two weeks ago
Get up-to-the-minute time tracking and job costing
Access real-time information from the shop floor
Know the labor costs with pinpoint accuracy
The E2 Shop System can also be set up to flag and detect overtime.
When an employees hours exceed 40 for the week, overtime can then
be charged to the job being worked.
