RE: Move Transactions....

Hi Dale,

Not that I know of.  They used to have an informal relationship, but that
changed with MDCC being added from ISI.

Kronos was/is OK.  DCSI/Highjump has additional functionality that was the
reason we chose it consistently over Kronos.  Just a quick example was the
ability to barcode pallets and split/pallets plus cross-docking and more.

I've worked very closely with the paperless product resently, and am very
impressed.  High quality too.

OK, I heard of DCSI.  For me, in the early 90's, it was between DCSI and
Kronos - I had picked Kronos.  Worked well for me through the 90's, changed
to MDCC (Paperless) in 2001, works even better.

Does Highjump have a relationship with MAPICS as an "approved" partner?

Highjump used to be DCSI.  As a user, I implemented them in the late 80s
and
they have only gotten better over time.

As a consultant (I don't miss those days) in the 90's, I implemented at
least a dozen sites, all successful.

Interestingly enough, this is the 2nd mention of HighJump I heard today
(other on a phone call), and I've never heard of it before.  Is it a MAPICS
add-on that I've missed hearing about or seeing at the MUC?

Have you considered eliminating the MOVE transactions but instead
implementing all of your quantity validation processing within the HighJump
system? We have some customers that build in validations to compare
operation quantities to what was reported at the previous operation minus
scrap, etc. That way you're not bound by the order quantity but rather what
was completed at earlier ops. For the first op you could also require some
supervisory override to allow producing beyond the order quantity, if
desired.

I'm gonna try one more time, can't believe I didn't get a single reply,
not even a flame!
Maybe it was my subject choice.......so here it goes again, thanks in
advance!




For as long as I can remember we have used MOVE operations following the
CLOSE (Stat 40)
of an Operation.  This has worked well, but in part of the shop we are
encountering some problems
related to work centers needing to start subsequent operations (more than
just the next op sometimes)
and how to manage the MOVES, especially relating to what quantity to
enter.

Ultimately I'd like to eliminate the MOVES, but the problem is that we
perform some validation based
upon the move-in quantity compared to the Qty Complete to Date + Scrap to
help ensure the close-out
quantity is accurate (+/- 12% margin) and this is where we are having the
problem on the practice
performing MOVES before the previous operation is closed.

If your current operation is for 500 pieces, after you complete, say 100,
move that quantity to the next
op, and to the next op when those are complete.  This results in 3 active
operations (that's ok) but there
is real confusion as to what the practice should be on the quantity
moved-in.  If they only move the
first 100, then the count is inaccurate, certainly for validation.  Also,
if they estimate the complete
quantity then that could lead to validation errors.  Bear in mind we do
incur scrap, which is why I don't
use the MO qty, plus some areas 'run out the bar' and exceed the MO qty
significantly.

To summarize, I'm interested in what some of you are doing, perhaps I'm
simply over-analyzing?
If you don't use the MOVE transaction, is the QTMVI field in MOROUT
populated?  How do you
'start' the Op, get it to go from 10 to 20?  We do not allow clocking onto
a stat 10 op via our
HighJump software and we like this validation to help guide the operators.


Thanks in advance for your opinions.
