1.1 Add Assembly Entry​

Step-by-Step Guide to Add an Assembly Entry

Step 1: Access the Assembly Entry Page

  • From the main side menu, click "Production & Quality", then select "Operation", and finally choose "Assembly Process". This will open the Assembly Entry Page.

Shift Tracking (Operators)

If you have Operator access, a shift bar appears above the entry form:

  • A message shows the time your current shift started (or, once closed, the start and end time of your last shift for the day).
  • Select the applicable time from the Select Shift Start/Close Time dropdown, then click the Shift Start button to log the beginning of your shift.
  • Once a shift is running, the button is replaced with Shift Close; select the closing time and click it to log the end of your shift. This button stays disabled until a Machine has been selected on the form.
  • The Pending Validation button next to the shift controls opens the same Pending Validation dialog described below.

Step 2: Fill in the Required Details

Provide the following information:

  • Part Number [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the Part Number. This data is fetched from the Part Master and includes only assembly parts.
  • Control Plan [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the control plan. The dropdown values are based on the selected Part Number.
  • Control Process [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the control process. This dropdown value depends on the selected control plan.
  • Batch Number [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the batch. The dropdown values are based on the selected control process.
  • Machine [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the machine. These values are fetched from the Machine Master.
  • Operator [Dropdown]: This field auto-populates with the logged-in user's information.
  • Heat Number [Text Field]: Enter the heat serial number. On screen, this field is labelled Heat Code when the selected control process is the first process.
  • Serial Number [Text Field]: This field can be either editable or non-editable, based on the control plan's automated serial number setting:
  • If "Automated Serial Number" is set to Yes, the field is non-editable.
  • If "Automated Serial Number" is set to No, the field is editable.
  • Other Frequency [Dropdown]: Select the other frequency. This value is fetched from codes.
  • Frequency Limit [Text Field]: The value of this field is determined by the selected "Other Frequency":
  • If "Other Frequency" is Regular, the "Frequency Limit" is set to 30.
  • If "Other Frequency" is Setting, Lot, or Shift, the "Frequency Limit" is set to 1.
  • Last Piece Time [Date]: Enter the date and time when the last piece was finished.
  • Part Status [Dropdown]: Select the status of the part.By default, the part status is set to Approved.
  • Remark [Text Field]: Enter any remarks.

Validation

  • Process Validation: Based on the control process, this data is fetched from the Control Plan Items.
  • Assembly Items: Displayed based on the control process, with data fetched from the Assembly Items Master.

Functionality

  • If the selected control process is the first process:
  • The Batch Number is visible.
  • The Heat Number and Serial Number fields are text fields.
  • If the selected control process is not the first process:
  • The Batch Number field is hidden.
  • The Heat Number and Serial Number fields become dropdowns. On screen these are labelled Heat No (select from the heat numbers already entered for the previous process) and Task Serial No (a multi-select dropdown to pick the serial number of a part that has already completed the previous process), respectively.

Task Validation

If the selected control process has check points defined, a Task Validation table appears below the form once a Batch/Heat/Serial selection is made, with one row per check point:

  • Print Number: The drawing print/balloon number the check point refers to.
  • Check Points: The name/description of the check point being measured.
  • Lower Spec Limit and Upper Spec Limit: The acceptable range for the check point (shown in degrees for angular check points).
  • Actual Value: For a measurable check point, enter the measured value here; the row is highlighted based on whether the value falls within the spec limits. For a go/no-go check point, this column instead shows Ok and Not Ok buttons — click Ok if the check point passes, or Not Ok to record a failure.

All check points must be recorded (a value entered, or Ok/Not Ok selected) before the entry can be submitted.

Rejecting a Child Part

Click the Rejection button (enabled once a Control Process is selected) to open the Rejection Parts Items dialog and record a child part as rejected:

  • Child Part [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the child part being rejected.
  • Machine [Dropdown]: Select the machine involved.
  • Part Status [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the rejection status to apply to the part.
  • Quantity [Number Field] (Mandatory): Enter the quantity being rejected.
  • Remark [Text Field] (Mandatory): Enter a remark explaining the rejection.

Click "Submit" to record the rejection, or "Clear" to reset the dialog.

Pending Validation

Click either Pending Validation button (in the shift bar, or next to Submit/Clear at the bottom of the page — enabled once a Machine and Control Process are selected) to open the Pending Validation dialog, used to go back and complete task validations that were left pending for a previously entered part:

  • Heat No [Dropdown]: Select the heat number of the part to validate.
  • Task Serial No [Dropdown]: Select the serial number of the part to validate.
  • Status [Dropdown] (Mandatory): Select the part status to apply once validation is complete.
  • Reason [Text Field]: Enter a reason/remark for the validation.

Selecting a Heat No/Task Serial No loads that part's outstanding Task Validation table (with the same Print Number, Check Points, Lower Spec Limit, Upper Spec Limit and Actual Value columns, and Ok/Not Ok buttons, described above). Click "Submit" to save the validation, or "Clear" to reset the dialog.

Submission of Assembly Entry

Click the "Submit" button. Once submitted:

  • The Assembly Entry will be added successfully.
  • The screen will reset to its initial state.
