That's absolutely brilliant - and simple. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Chris.Kosieracki@highjumpsoftware.com [mailto:Chris.Kosieracki@highjumpsoftware.com] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:46 AM To: mapics-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: Recording Machine Down Time How about creating an item master and balance record for each machine, then performing an IS transaction with reason code each time it goes down, and an RC transaction each time it's put back into service. Since all of the IMHIST transactions are time stamped it would be fairly easy to run a query/report on downtime. This approach would also allow you to easily see the state of each machine. In stock means its up, out of stock means it's down. -----Original Message----- From: Philip Freimann [mailto:PFreimann@cranecams.com] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 10:24 AM To: 'mapics-l@midrange.com' Subject: RE: Recording Machine Down Time We do that to. But in this case the employee is on another job - he is not idle - the machine is idle. If you created a "job" for the machine down time - the hours charged to it would go as indirect labor hours. Wouldn't that distort the overhead and labor or payroll hours? We also have a stand alone maintenance and repair system - but that would only record the time a repair person is actually working on the machine, which could be quite different from it's total down time. -----Original Message----- From: Leleux@shur-lok.com [mailto:Leleux@shur-lok.com] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:24 AM To: mapics-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: Recording Machine Down Time [ Converted text/html to text/plain ] We have 'job's set up for specific activities such as 'waiting for raw material', meetings, 'waiting for tool repair' etc. You can create a 'job' for a specific machine (work center) to be used when it's down. We have a report that analyses employees variance time, if they're not on a job......enquiring minds want to know why! I wonder if MAINCOR addresses it? Since there is a web client that can be used in the shop, the machinist could enter the data. Good question, especially since we have MAINCOR!

The operator is moved to another job, so he can not record time against it. The Maintenance person might not get to it for days - if waiting for parts, so the amount of time they spend "on the repair" is not relevant. We can't record indirect hours that would be added to the overhead. Philip R.
