Re: Automation of RM's

I would add, You may want to RM to a 'Line location', i.e. 'Floor' location associated with this W/C, 'controlled WH.' Then have the material handler TW to either a Stock Loc (WH) or another point of use Line location using a 'hand held mobile device'. Accurate and timely. You also have the ability to back flush any components from an operation off (within MES) at the W/C assigned location. You can Print a Stock Label as well at RM complete time. Bar code as much as possible to save time and increase accuracy. The supervisor should be responsible for 'his line' inventory, and check cycle count regularly. Any excess - Return to Stock (TW). Be sure to paint the floor so we know if the component is in inventory or WIP (i.e. issued to the MO). This feature in MES is quite a bit like the REP Module. Hope this helps. Jeff

Implement the MES application for use on the shop floor and have the operators start/stop work orders and enter qty complete and then RM's at the last operation.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Automation of RM's

Someone has to of already solved this problem. We are on version XA 7.7, green screen and PowerLink.

We are manually keying all of our RM's at the end of the day after our packing department shift is complete. As things are complete we have a person writing down the items, and accumulating the paperwork during the day. After the shift is complete, all of the paperwork is accumulated and given to a person to manually enter the RM's.

How has anyone else created a more effecient process, to get the RM's entered in more real-time so that we don't have shipping inventory issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
