VJES (Visual Job Execution Software) for Infor LN & Baan

​Every manufacturer relies on a few core metrics to manage operations: efficiency, productivity, capacity, and labor and equipment utilization. These benchmarks are used worldwide to assess performance and process effectiveness.

What if you could integrate quality control into every operation at every work center to ensure high-quality finished goods and simultaneously train high-quality operators? Manufacturing quality can be achieved using documented, repeatable, and measurable processes.

Introducing Crossroads RMC's ERP-independent solution, VJES (Visual Job Execution Software). VJES is an electronic work instruction interface that bridges engineering and the paperless manufacturing floor. VJES ensures that only one version of the work instructions is available—the correct one. By deploying up-to-date, visually rich work instructions, images, and videos, VJES provides personnel the best opportunity to build it right the first time and tracks worker productivity throughout the build process.

VJES achieves RESULTS:

  • Turn new hire welders into specialized welders in 2 weeks
  • Improve quality scores from 68/100 to 93/100 in 12 months
  • Reduce employee training time from 1 week to 3 days within the first month of use
  • Maintain a first-pass yield percentage of 100% for 8 consecutive months this year
  • Incorporate a quality cell after productivity increases due to the bandwidth gained from adopting VJES

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Email Distribution Lists are new in Infor LX Version 8.

With this feature, users can create groups to which they may add internal or external email addresses, and in turn, use the name of the group when sending out the email.

The email distribution list eliminates the need for a program change if recipients need to be added to or deleted from the group.

Do you have bottlenecks in your process due to product changeovers or breakdowns?
Maybe the answer is adding redundancy in the department where you are experiencing the problem. A duplicate machine setup can allow for double the capacity during high production periods. It can also eliminate the need to swap out tools or other materials due to different production runs. When breakdowns occur, equipment can be swapped out to keep production moving while repairs are being made.

Planning for this keeps production levels high.

Tips: LN | Baan

Instead of sharing tables through logical linking, you can replicate table content between companies. This approach allows certain non-key attributes of a record to vary by company. For example, if you replicate bills of materials rather than sharing them, each company can associate a different warehouse with the same bill of material. This way, the bills of materials are consistent across companies, while the warehouses can differ.

Replication also enables selective availability of records in other companies. For instance, when replicating items, you might limit which items are available in a sales company based on their item group, only including end items. You can further refine replication to specific subsets, such as particular item groups.

Keep in mind that replication requires any referenced tables to be either replicated or shared as well.
