Adding Loss Events in Time Loss Accounting
To add new loss events to the production block from the Time Loss Accounting window, complete the following steps:
1. In the Loss Event pane, click Add to enable the fields on the right pane.
2. For Event Category, select the loss category for the event on the pacemaker.
 |
For a production block when no job order was running, you cannot select Scrap as the Event Category. If the Work Unit Causing Event is not the pacemaker, you can select a loss reason from any loss category, including Scrap, under Select Loss Reason.
|
3. For Work Unit Causing Event, select the work unit that caused the loss to occur on the pacemaker. By default, the pacemaker for the work center is selected. If the reason for the loss event occurred on a work unit that is upstream or downstream from the pacemaker, you can select that work unit instead.
4. Under Select Loss Reason, navigate to and select the loss reason for the work unit which caused the event. If the pacemaker is selected as the Work Unit Causing Event, you can only select reasons from the loss category matching the selected Event Category. If a work unit other than the pacemaker is selected as the Work Unit Causing Event, you can select any loss reason that is valid for the selected work unit from any loss category.
5. For Impact (HH:mm:ss) or Impact (Quantity), enter the duration or quantity based on the Event Category:
◦ For event categories other than Scrap, enter the time lost in the Impact (HH:mm:ss) field. The Impact (HH:mm:ss) value must be within the total duration of the production block. To use the remaining unaccounted-for time for the loss event, select the Use Unaccounted For Time checkbox.
◦ For the Scrap event category, enter the number of scrapped units in the Impact (Quantity) field. The Impact (Quantity) value can include decimals but can contain no more than 13 digits.
The Reallocate from Good checkbox determines whether the quantity being manually scrapped is removed from the Good count. To determine when to select the checkbox, consider whether the quantity that is being scrapped has already been logged as Good.
▪ If the quantity being scrapped has already been logged as Good, select the Reallocate from Good checkbox. When the checkbox is selected, the Scrap count increases and the Good count decreases. The production time for any count reallocated from the Good count is reallocated from effective production time to scrap loss time. When the checkbox is selected, the Impact (Quantity) value cannot exceed the Good count for the production block.
▪ If the quantity that is being scrapped has not yet been logged as Good, do not select the Reallocate from Good checkbox. When the good count is 0, no count can be reallocated from the good count to the scrap count. When the checkbox is not selected, the Scrap count increases and the Good count remains the same.
6. For Comments, add a comment for the loss event. Optional.
7. Click Save. The new loss event is added to the Loss Event list. The selected work unit, loss reason, and impact are displayed for each loss event. For scrap loss events, both the scrap quantity and the time loss equivalent are shown. The time loss equivalent is calculated as the scrap quantity multiplied by the ideal cycle time for the material.
