Configure hourly part count confirmation

Especially when using automatic part count recording, it may be necessary for production to confirm the recorded part counts in real time (hourly) in order to react swiftly to any production problems (e.g. target part counts not reached).

The confirmation can be activated by the Shift Book Admin operator under Shopfloor > Administration > Configuration with the following configuration parameters:

• Enable hourly confirmation

  Enable part count confirmation

• Percentage limit value for the efficiency loss

  The loss of power can only be confirmed if it falls between the limits for Minimum loss efficiency (default 10 %) and Maximum loss efficiency (default 20 %).

  Example:

  Minimum loss efficiency = -20 %

  Maximum loss efficiency = +30 %

  All power losses between -20 % and +30 % can be confirmed.

• Time limit until when an elapsed hour can be confirmed.

  Minimum timeout to confirm part count, (0 s for no time limit)

• Time limit from when an elapsed hour can be confirmed

  Minimum time span in the past to confirm part count, 300 s, i.e. hour must be at least 5 minutes in the past = default value

Hourly part counts can be confirmed:

• For elapsed hours (at least Minimum time span in the past to confirm part count).
• Within the time limit (see below).
• If the performance loss lies within specified percentage limits (where configured).
• If the user has the corresponding authorization
  • To set confirmation: Shift Book Leader or higher
  • To cancel confirmation: Shift Book Admin

If an hourly part count confirmation is not possible (checkbox grayed out), the reasons are displayed as tooltips, i.e. by hovering the mouse over the checkbox:

• Missing permissions (Shift Book Leader role or higher is required).
• Hour (+ time limit) not yet complete.
• Timeout (where configured).
• Performance loss limit exceeded (where configured).

Hourly part counts must, where configured, be confirmed in real time once the hour is complete. Once a time limit is set, hours can only be confirmed subsequently by a Shift Book Admin. Unconfirmed hours are displayed in the calendar or in the hourly quantity tracking with a different color (configurable, Shift types tab).

In the hourly part count tracker, the deviation may remain red. The checkbox can no longer be activated (the time for this has expired), and when the mouse pointer is held over it, the reason why it cannot be confirmed is displayed. This can be subsequently confirmed with a user role with the appropriate authorization.
