3 Easy Ways to Collect Shop Floor Data in 2016

Paperless Time Entry- Enter data using keyboard and mouse or touch screen drop down intuitive menus from your desktop and GO PAPERLESS.
Shop Floor Data Collection with Time and Attendance
What is the benefit of real-time reporting
Process Improvement- Analysis of the data allows you to make dramatic and continuous improvements (better costing, better quoting, improve utilization, training, etc.)
Rectify issues quickly- When issues ore problems arise, you will be notified and can quickly fix the problem while is it still relevant, not the end of the month

Capture Accurate Data- Real-time data allows you to identify what is going well and what could be improved, changed and rectified.
Time & Attendance – Shifts, Breaks, Grace Periods
1. Setup the Shift, Shift Period and Rotation
2. Setup the standard clock in and out periods and whether breaks are paid or require clock in/out
3. Setup the grace periods at the beginning and end of the shift to allow for rounding up or down.
4. Configurable rules for paying your staff.

Labels
Labels for inbound and outbound shipments:
Receiving labels: originating in the Purchase Receipt process can be printed on standard ¼ page labels using a standard printer – we suggest ‘red labels’ for product that requires inspection and ‘green labels’ for product that is released to production. Shipping labels: originating in the Shipping process can be printed on a standard office printer – often we find that certain customers have special requirements whereas other customers would use your default label – we have the ability to print several formats.
Import BOM
Importing data from CAD:Production Bill of Material upload: we have the ability to upload your CAD parts list into NAV’s production bill of material. This feature uses Excel and uploads to NAV’s built-in edits to ensuring data is clean.
Movement App
Item Movement App > Scans product barcodes to move (ie. Truck Inventory)
Long Descriptions and Specifications
Long Descriptions and specifications: when standard NAV descriptions of 50 characters are just not enough. We have developed functions that manufacturing companies need to communicate with customers, suppliers and manufacturing floor; these include:
Item Long Description: a feature which allows a 250 character description of Items that can be optionally printed on ‘outward facing reports’ such as Order Acknowledgements, Packing Lists, Invoices, Purchase Orders. The Long description automatically truncates to the first 50 characters and populates NAV’s standard Item description and is used system wide in a plethora of reports.Resource Long Description: a similar feature to the Item Long Description for a better definition of the ResourcesSales [Item] Specification: a very large description that is associated to Sales items and can be optionally printed on Sales documents – this feature is used to detail sales related information about the Item, examples: features list, safety requirements, limits and exclusions,… The feature uses most Word functions and can be pasted into.Purchasing [Item] Specification: similar to Sales Specifications except that it is associated to Purchased items and can be optionally printed on Purchase documents – this feature is used to detail purchase information to your suppliers, examples: tolerances, ‘must-haves’, packaging, …Manufacturing [Item] Specification: similar to Sales and Purchasing Specification except they are intended for Manufacturing use – usually used for handling, special characteristics, safety documentation.
Direct Purchase/Quote to Production Order
Purchase Items to a Production Order directly: from the Production Order we can create a Purchase Order that can be actioned and received into inventory. Bypasses the need for the material planning processes.
Work Order Traveller
Work Order Traveller similar to Visual Mfg. – 1 page with both materials and labor – separate page breaks for each sub-assembly
Bulk Accept Messages in Planning Worksheets
Accept Action messages on Planning Worksheet: standard NAV requires a checkbox to accept a suggested action (Production Order, Purchase Order, Transfer Order) and in a normal Manufacturing plant this could be a very long list. We have developed functionality to ‘filter’ on specific attributes and with a ‘click’ you can select or deselect the Action messages.
Bulk status changes on production orders
Change status on selected Production Orders: standard NAV requires that you ‘change status’ on Orders one-at-a-time, this can be a very long list and a very tedious task. We have developed functionality to change status on either a ‘filtered list’ or a ‘selected list’.
What’s Included with our Solution
Sales Order ‘On Hold’: we have developed functionality that can place a Sales Order ‘on hold’ while administration takes its’ course. An order ‘on hold’ cannot be shipped; however cash receipts can still be recorded on the customer and other orders can be shipped to same customer. Examples: weather sensitive shipments can be placed on hold until a favourable forecast is in sight, entry papers not in place, requires special handling equipment, ….
Over/Under Receive and Ship
Over/under receive Purchase Orders: we have developed functionality that permits over or under receiving a PO. The function records the original Purchase quantity and uses ‘actual’ received as the inventory update. Metrics can be developed to rank vendor by their ability to deliver as ordered.
Copy Production Order
Production Order copy: standard NAV does not have a ‘copy feature’ for Production Orders – we created a function.
Partial Completion Reporting
Reporting partial completion: this feature triggers consumption based on a partial receipt.
Search Lists
Transaction Lists: the era of reports is quickly disappearing, a well filtered list can be the equivalent of many ‘hard coded’ reports replacing the need for formal reports with lists that can interrogated or exported to Excel or Word. We have added several transactional lists which are viewable, filterable, exportable and up-to-date. Included in our additional lists are:
Sales Order LinesPosted Sales Invoice LinesPosted Sales Shipment LinesPurchase Order LinesPosted Purchase Receipt LinesPosted Purchase Invoice Lines
Flow Field Improvements
Improved references on table views: we have added detail to several table views are not exposed in standard NAV. These data use the concept of ‘flow fields’ which really means the information we are associating is contained in another table which would normally not be accessible in the same view, for instance an account reference would typically be related to a Vendor No or Customer No and to find out the name you would have to go to another view – we have made the link for you. We have added this feature to many views. examples include:
Vendor name on accounting transactions (payment journal)Vendor or customer name on general ledger transactions
Vendor Name
CRM Project Module
Bill in Foreign Currency but Cost in Canadian on Jobs
Pre-configured Data Migration Packages/Spreadsheets
