Examples of Machine Transaction Entered in Data Collection

Example 1: Machine Transactions Independent of Labor

Your operation requires the use of resource Mach1. The operation might require 20 machine hours, and in that time you complete 100 pieces. Enter a transaction as follows:

Transaction Type	Total Hours	Complete
Complete	20	100

Your company should establish procedures to prevent doubling the completed pieces.

After machine transactions are posted to the system, you cannot trace the transactions back to a specific machine or to a specific machine setup or run transaction.

Example 2: Machine Transactions Prorated With Labor

If you want a particular operation to report both machine and labor hours, make sure you report only the completed quantities for that operation one time. Otherwise, the system treats those two transactions separately and doubles the quantity of completed pieces.

You may have a job operation requiring the use of resource Mach2. The operation might require 20 machine hrs, and in that time you complete 100 pieces. The operation simultaneously requires 10 labor hours. Enter two transactions as follows:

Transaction Type	Total Hours	Complete
Complete	20	100
R	10	0
