Morrison Brothers Goes Live With Crossroads MES in Record Time!

On February 18, 2016, the Maquoketa plant of Morrison Brothers went live with the Crossroads MES solution. The goal was to remove all the shop floor paperwork and eliminate the manual recording of production and labor. The company achieved this goal in just 96 days from project kick-off to go live. Included in the go-live was the ability to deliver drawings electronically to the Crossroads MES workstations. This was a critical component of the implementation as it ensured that each workstation would always be operating off the latest revision of the engineering documents.

A rollout of the Crossroads MES solution is planned for Morrison’s Dubuque plants later this year. 

Morrison Brothers is a major producer of petroleum marketing equipment in the United States and abroad.

In the Shop Floor Control Module, you have the ability to key in both direct labor and indirect labor. However you want to establish specific types (reasons) for the indirect labor. The SFC600 labor entry program shows a reason code field, but it is designed for reject quantity and machine downtime reasons, not indirect labor reasons.

There is a way around this. With an MES solution you have the ability to setup and report indirect time against a specific reason code.

You can see the status of the Shop Order when using SFC300 Shop Order Inquiry. You want to be sure that your shop orders are at the correct status in order to report against them.

The following are the shop order status codes:

04 = The Shop order has been entered.

05 = The Shop order has been released and printed.

14 = The Shop order has been released, but not printed. If a shop order is at this status, you have released it and it is not printed due to a system failure, or the order has been put on hold.

XX = The Shop order is closed.
