According to Stephen Carson, Executive Vice-President of
Visibility Corporation, "Shop Floor Control supports the
operational side of production providing shop floor work center
and routing definition, operation scheduling and production
activity reporting. Comprehensive information is available
regarding shop capacity, order status, work center performance
versus plan and actual operation costs. Multiple scheduling
methods are available and can be applied to selected work
orders. Reducing lead times to speed up the design-to-finished
product process is critical for engineer-to-order, project-based
and to-order manufacturers."
The VISIBILITY manufacturing solution puts all the information
needed to manufacture highly engineered products. Key elements
include the ability to pass design information quickly to the
production floor, track job progress and collect actual cost and
project status information.
Labor recording and tracking can be done in a number of ways.
Labor Distribution supports timesheet reporting for both hourly
and salaried employees allowing for managerial review before
posting. Visibility provides Web-based remote time entry.
Real-time reporting is provided by Time and Attendance using
event transaction reporting models. Both modules can support
time reported to work orders or directly to project tasks and
are enabled for bar code data collection entry.
Work in Process supports the material side of production letting
you identify the assemblies to be built, channel material to the
shop floor and return finished assemblies to their next logical
destination. Planners can allocate materials, adjust component
lists and identify shortages. Work orders can be linked into
vertical hierarchies supporting receipts directly to higher
assemblies, sales orders and accumulated job cost information.
