Who built this WO?
06/10/04 at 10:30:07
 
We'd like to track who completed a work order.  How do you do this?  Would you like to see a better way to do it?

I would love to have this feature available too.  With the current system we have to save our completed travelers for years to have this information available.

What do you mean "completed"?  The Labor tracking will document who actually made the parts if you are using routings and entering labor.  You don't even need to enter labor hours, you can just enter Employee ID and quantity complete if that is all you care about tracking.
 
Do you want to track who actually entered the Finished Production into DBA at WO-I or what?

Our products require only simple assembly, so we don't use routings or enter labor.  We don't kit parts either, but just backflush.  All we do is enter finished production at WO-I or through a quick WO program that combines WO-A and WO-I with backflush.

When I want to know who screwed up a job I use DC-D  with Y as the filter. this gives a list of each person that worked on the order.
 
There is a huge benefit to telling DBA what is happening on the shop floor.
 
Just because something is simple doesn't mean a w/o shouldn't be used.
 
If you want the info you should use work orders.
 
IMHO Smiley

This is a hot topic for us!!  We would LOVE to have an area where we could enter notes in Enter Labor or have some kind of electronic sign off for travelers.  We use work orders and our employees enter in their finished labor.  However, often (almost always) more than one person is working on an assembly in a sequence.  So, even though they enter in their labor we cannot see all the employees that worked on it.  
 
Also, another benefit to being able to add text is that we often add notes to the traveler to document a change that may have happened mid-job.  This is how we document these type of things for ISO purposes.  Also, it is nice to have this info handy when you are doing an investigation for a corrective action.
 
Another problem with the Enter Labor feature is that only hourly employees can enter in their time.  We have some salary people in our production area that work on jobs and we cannot capture them in Enter Labor.
 
I would love to find out if other companies are using DBA in a paperless system.  
 
Thanks
Sharon

Notes on enter labor and labor batches would be great.  However, since that is not available right now, we use WO-A notes and WO-K-A (pull up routing sequence and enter notes)
 
Salary wages:
We enter a separate series of dummy employees at different wage rates to record salary and temporary labor.  The wage rate may not be the full salary amount but something representative of an employee with the skill level involved.  IE:  Foremen might be set up at $18 or $20/hour even though they earn more.  If a foreman has to jump in and help on a job, I assume the foreman is going to run efficiently and motivate others.  The 18-20 is a fair rate to charge the job without putting some ridiculous number against it.  This allows us to record time and wages on jobs for non-hourly employees and temporary employees.  Works quite well.

Thanks!  That's a good place for us to start.  I had not thought of WO-K-A.  It is definitely worth kicking around.  
 
The salary wages go around sounds like it would work for us too.
 
Thanks again.
