Hi community,

Looking for your suggestions on the following.

One of IFS customer has raise their concern as the tracked structure solution in Shop Floor Workbench in IFS Cloud is not providing the needed support for them.

Their production is based on traceability (Lot/Batch or Serial No) and every product produced by the company is marked with product number and serial/lot batch. Therefore, getting a readable reference on the serials produced in a Shop Order is important to their production.

In IFS Cloud, scaling a Shop order in lot size or having a serial contain a lot of sub materials/assemblies has made the tracked structure unreadable to the customer.

Refer to the following screen capture from IFS Cloud,

In order to get to the needed information in IFS Cloud they have to scroll down and marking 25 unique serials.

The customer requirement is to have the same capabilities as they had in Apps9 since it gives the following benefits to the customer

  • Easy view the serials
  • Improves the navigation for verifying the QA of the data, for example when you need to ensure the manually provided certificate matches the serial components in the main part serial.
  • Easier to see the materials issued when continuing a production when there is a temporary production stop

Example from APP9;

 

Thank you,

@Nimesha Wijesekara In IFS Cloud you can also use the Operation Guide available from Shop Floor Workbench to view and manage tracked structure. Have you evaluated this functionality?

In short, the Tracked Structure section in the Operation Guide assistant shows one card per parent part summarizing the status and the number of components in its tracked structure. 

  • Show Completed Parents - this check box allows you to either show all parents, or only the parents for which components remains to be added
  • Consider Only Operation Materials - this check box allows you to view and manage only the material lines that is connected to and should be added on the current operation

On each parent there are a number of commands:

  • View - shows all components connected to this parent. Can show all components or only components connected to the operation. Can also be filtered to show only lot/batch and serial tracked components. Possible to change to another parent by scanning its barcode (serial no, lot/batch no or inventory barcode)
  •  Add - used to connect components to parents. components can be selected manually, but it’s most efficient to scan the barcode of the component (its serial no, lot/batch no or inventory barcode). Also possible to change to the next parent by scanning its barcode
  • Remove - Used to remove a component from its parent. Barcodes can be used similar as for Add
  • Move - used to move a component from one parent to another parents with possibility to use barcodes as well.

 

Having a tree structure the same way as in Enterprise Explorer client is not technically possible with the Aurena framework.

Thank you very much for the explanation Björn!
