Dear Bonnie: As providers of MAPICS Manufacturing Execution Systems (Hardware, Software, Services), we have been asked this same question many times. In the past it was handled with a special retro reflective label stock that can be read at distances of say 35 feet or more. This is depends on the "x" dimension of the bar code itself and the laser scanners depth of field. I would suggest you contact Klaus Frost of our hardware solutions group @ 262-567-9240 x 157. Klaus has a wealth of knowledge in this area. You might also want to contact your hardware manufacturer for more information.

You will probably need to create a subset that links from your manufacturing order components to the purchase orders for the items. This is usually a simple procedure where you define the how the files are linked to provide the information you want. If you are interested, please contact me off list with the details of your existing shortage reports and how you want the purchase orders included. >From there we should be able to define your requirements and produce the report you need.

We currently accomplish this manually using Microsoft Word. It's a good report but with many issues such as time, accuracy, and timeliness. All information used to create this report comes from Mapics. So why not let the system do all of the work, right? The "Manufacture Order Shortage Report --- Follow-Up Analysis ---" is used to show what each manufacturing order is short. We use the purchase orders to know when items are due. Any ideas on how to accomplish this? We use Jacana/Valet for report writing.

My solution to you would involve creating an SQL view through Ops Navigator, then add that view to the browser (through the integrator) and make it available to your users. I've used IWP for report generation, but once we moved to V5R1, I switched almost all reporting to browser views. Nice thing is, the data is always live and it reduces a lot of paper pushing around the office.

We took the approach of creating some database files of our own and then building a customized subset. The database files can be built using Jacana and the subset can be created using IWP. The reason we built our own database files and subset was to make the linking in the subset much less complicated. We linked a CL to a task that runs all of the reports to build the database files and then runs the report to produce the printed output. This makes running the report very easy for the user. We also use Jacana to download this same information to Excel. The report gives all the items that are short with all manufacturing orders that require the item, all purchase orders for the item with appropriate due dates, and all inventory currently on hand. This is all pulled live from the MAPICS files so the report is literally up to the minute.

Our problem are the racks at the 15 foot+ level. How do others handle the physical labeling of racks? Do your scanners reach that distance?

A cheaper solution is to also use a smaller barcode down on the lower racks to mimic what is stored above so you can do a local short range scan.

Also the cross beams are barcoded. This allows for scanning at walking height, or also at hi-lift height. If you want a gun that can do long distances, check out the Symbol Powerscan XLR, but be aware they can be a bit funky. Hope that helps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael K.

What we did was implement a process of item consolidation (try and locate items in a single location as much as possible), and enhanced the data collection program to preload the location where the item was found. In the event where it was being picked from an alternate location, they hit a function key, and all the locations where the item is located is shown, then the user just selects the correct item. FYI, for RM transactions, we preload the location that was last used for a pick or shipment, on the assumption that we are restocking. It's correct the majority of the time. If not, the user marks where they put it and keys it in the location field. Small program, minor change. Since the data writes to TRDATA (which hasn't changed since we've been using it), it's been no problem for us. Dale Gindlesperger IT Manager/Special Projects Leader Fleetwood Folding Trailers, Inc.
