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

In the Item Master File, the requirements code is used to specify the type of demand for the item. Planned order requirements are determined from the type of demand. If the requirements code is left blank, the planning systems treat the item as a sum code (3).
 

Other options for the field are:


1 = Dependent demand that is indirectly generated from the parent item requirements.

2 = Independent demand generated from customer orders and forecasts.

3 = The Sum of both independent and dependent demand.

In SFC600, there is no code to capture the time spent on re-work. Re-work is usually at a specific operation, or when the part is finished and QC determines that re-work is required in order to pass inspection. You are faced with deciding on how to report the additional labor time.

Do you continue to report it against the operation, or create a re-work shop order?

If you are re-working through a specific operation you can capture the time as run labor with the SFC600 program. Now you need to deal with the variance of actual to standard time and what impact this has on costing.

Table Timestamp Definitions (ttadv4136m000)

Use this session to define timestamps for Infor LN tables. A timestamp is an additional column that stores the date and time of the last change for each record.

Timestamps are utilized by features like the extraction logic of CPM Enterprise Analytics. They enable CPM to perform incremental data extractions. For example, CPM can use the timestamps to extract records that were changed during the last week in a weekly extraction process.

To Create Timestamps...

Operations: To absorb the cost of cost items into specific projects, you'll need to handle them as customized items. However, cost items cannot directly be defined as customized items. Customized items must be physical, either manufactured or purchased.

That said, it's still possible to absorb cost items into a project, although indirectly. Here's how:

  1. Set Up Ledger Account: First, create a new ledger account in session tfgld0508m000 and set the type to "PCS" (project) in the operations management integrations. This account will be used for matching and approving purchase orders for cost items.

  2. Create and Activate Projects: Ensure that the necessary projects are created and set to active status.

  3. Purchasing Cost Items...
