RE: Reporting Rework -- MAPICS-L

Tom,

That could work, but you lose visibility as to WHY the parts are being
reworked. If 75% of your rework is in 15% of your product, then there is an
opportunity (a la Six Sigma).

That's why we want to capture rework as part of the WIP MO... We want to
know why things went wrong and rework was required.

We are using PaperLess, but this would also work with PCC - our inspectors
(and ONLY our inspectors) add the rework operation to the open MO when it is
decided that rework is needed. They can add notes when they create the
operation. The added operation(s) then appear as a labor variance against
the MO, etc., etc., etc. (I think - I'm not the cost acct - that the rework
"facility" information directs the rework labor to the rework accounts and
not the "standard" labor accounts...) Material is rarely issued at a rework
operation, but that is an on-going issue since we back-flush standard
materials instead of having the workers record inventory transactions as
they report pieces completed at operations.

My 2 cents worth...  -- Joan

Thanks guys.

Any thoughts on using a generic MO for rework on all items? Maybe close it
out every month or so. Would be nice to have an mo that can be charged
(primarily to capture labor) and maybe reference the item number when
jobbing on/off?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,  If you use a separate MO for rework, you can use the Mfg Order
Accounting Class to flag the MO as rework. If the rework operations are
within an MO then you can assign the rework operations to a separate
production facility and use the Prod. Fac. Accounting Class to flag them as
rework. In either case, you can isolate and report these costs in your
general ledger through the PCC/GL interface.

I apologize if this is a frequent question.



Any suggestions for easily and effectively reporting rework operations using
an MO?  (Release 6 - PR/PMC/PCC/IM) no GUI, no Paperless.



Thanks.
