Re: Production Process Change

[JClancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Rick,

To do any  type of production reporting in BPCS, you must have opened a
shop order or production order (done in JIT). Yes, JIT lets you report by
item, but the programming applies that qty to the oldest open order, so
less tracking is required on the shop floor.  There are numerous release
mechanisms in BPCS, many are very easy and quick.  Closing of shop orders
is done programmatically(CST900 or SFC900) if the qty rec'd equals or
exceeds the qty ordered, so there shouldn't be that much time spent on
closing them.

What is your Mat'ls mgr hoping to accomplish?
