The Dashboard displays performance graphs, links to detailed information in the Metrics tabbed region; and a Shopfloor Progress tabbed region. The graphs in the Metrics region are configured using several parameters including:
The Dashboard graphs include:
This graph displays the progress at the organization and department levels for the actual versus the planned production. Select Details to display both summary and detailed views.
Labor reporting captures both attendance and actual time spend on production for employees. These times are used for generating the labor performance views. You set targets for utilization, productivity, and efficiency at the organization and department level. Select Details to display both summary and detailed views.
First Pass Yield (FPY) is defined as the ratio of usable, specification conforming output from a process to its input, achieved without rework or reprocessing. The data is calculated from the move transactions performed. Select Details to display both summary and detailed views.
Parts per million defects refers to the defective parts per million on completed work orders. This view provides a large scale view of your manufacturing operations and is calculated from job with statuses of Completed, Complete-No Charges, and Closed. Select Details to display both summary and detailed views.
Attention: Data displayed in the graphs on the dashboard are based on time calculated in the server time zone, and not the client time zone.
The Production to Plan graph displays progress for actual production in comparison to planned production. Planned quantity is the scheduled quantity for a job operation with a scheduled end time. Actual production quantity is the number of good units completed at a job operation. This view gives supervisors the capability to monitor production and synchronize it with demand. The key performance indicators are calculated for organization and department levels. The Production to Plan KPI parameter is one of the key performance indicators on the Dashboard. See: Production to Plan KPI.
The progress percent is defined in the Production to Plan KPI parameter and can be calculated on either quantity or operation lead time. The calculated values at each job operation is then summed up, and the average is calculated at the department or organization level:
Quantity = [(Actual production quantity) / (Planned quantity)] * 100
Operation lead time = [{Sum (Actual production quantity * Operation Lead Time)} / {Sum (Planned quantity * Operation Lead Time)}] * 100
Data is used from the WIP_OPERATIONS table for planned jobs; and from the WIP_MOVE_TRANSACTIONS table for actual completion. Depending on how the parameter is set, the program also considers other factors such as job types, job statuses, scrap, reject, and unplanned completions. When the concurrent program is generated, information from these two sources, at the shift level, is calculated for the 7 day period to display in the chart for each day.
You can navigate to the Production to Plan Summary and Production to Plan Details tables by selecting Details. This view also enables you to navigate to the other Dashboard performance tables and graphs. You can set your display for:
Department - a particular department or all departments. This is available if you logged in without specifying the department.
Period Type - week or day
View by - a particular shift, all shifts, or a particular date (based on Period Type)
The Production to Plan Summary table displays the period, actual completion percent, unscheduled completion percent, scrap percent, reject percent, and overall progress percent of your production - based on your setup of the Production to Plan KPI parameter setup for the organization.
Select a record to display the details of that record in the Production to Plan Details table. This view displays the department, job operation, unit of measure, planned quantity, actual completion, operation lead time, and operation progress percent.
The Labor Performance graph provides visibility in managing shop floor resources - using values set in the Labor Performance Metrics parameter, and calculated in the Labor Performance Metrics concurrent request. Labor Performance metrics are displayed in different time buckets for views by organization, department, resource, or employee. Aggregated data for all employees, at every shift for the previous seven days, is populated into the graph. Time is captured using shift, clock, and job information.
The Labor Performance graph displays the performance metrics and the target goals for efficiency, productivity, and utilization for a seven day time frame.
Labor performance reporting uses the following in its calculations:
Calculates are only for person type resources; the calculation is based on actual times and not on resource transactions.
Labor metrics are calculated for non-24 hours resources (person type resources do not work 24 hours).
Shop floor labor resources are tracked using employee badge numbers and resource instances.
Data attributes are configured per organization using the parameter, Labor Performance Metrics
Four labor performance data elements are tracked including actual attendance, direct labor, scheduled available, and earned hours.
Values are used from the WIP_LABOR_PERFORMANCE_RATES table, Bill of Material department resource setups, and the Bill of Material Workday Calendar shifts.
Labor metrics are calculated only for resources that are attached to specific shifts.
Shift In and Shift Out enables the recording of actual attendance hours entered. You can enable or disable employee time and labor reporting in the parameter, Time Entry Mode
Actual attendance hours is not computed for the current shift until the shift ends.
For overlapping shifts, actual hours are credited to the shift with the earliest start date.
Clock In flags the job operation as started, and records the start time for resource usage calculation. See: Clock In and Clock Out
Actual Attendance Hours - the number of hours an employee reports for work in a given period of time. For example, if an employee reports to work at 8:00 am and leaves at 5:00 pm; the total number of actual attendance hours is 9 hours.
Scheduled Available Hours - the number of hours an employee is scheduled to be available for work in a given period of time (excluding holidays, sick days, and vacation).
Direct Labor Hours - the total number of hours an employee reports on job operations in a given period of time.
Earned Hours - the total number of hours designated to produce a specific quantity of units, according to the standard routing definition. For example, if an employee reports 10 units completed in a certain operation and the standard usage rate defined on the routing is 1 hour per unit; then the employee earned 10 hours.
Note: Earned hours are not be calculated for lot based resources as they cannot be attributed to a particular unit of an assembly level.
Note: Direct labor hours are used for earned hours in reporting for an employee who does not have a standard usage rate.
Using Third Party Time and Attendance Systems
MES for Discrete Manufacturing can be integrated with third party time and attendance systems to collect actual time. The WIP_TIME_ENTRY_INTERFACE table is used to enter records for Direct Labor Hours and Actual Attendance Hours. The Import Actual Times concurrent program moves the records from this table and imports them into the MES system. The Labor Performance Metrics Calculation is then generated to view labor metrics with the imported data. See: Time and Attendance Systems Integration

The First Pass Yield graph displays the ratio of usable parts to the material used for its processing - achieved without rework or reprocessing. This metric provides supervisors a view of manufacturing operations at the macro level for decision making. The view is enabled using the Supervisor Dashboard View parameter, and generated through the First Pass Yield Calculation program accessed in the global actions. See: Supervisor Dashboard View
The First Pass Yield concurrent program uses the following considerations in its calculation:
Only operations performed are considered.
Net scrap or reject quantities are the final quantities moved to the Scrap or Reject intraoperation step - not the sum of quantities moved in and out of these steps.
Partially completed assembles not meeting quality requirements are considered moved to the Scrap or Reject intraoperation.
Reject transactions are reversed by moving parts out of the Reject step.
Either or both the Count Point and Autocharge fields on job operations must be enabled. See: Count Point and Autocharge Fields
The first pass yield percentages displaying on the chart are for the previous seven days from the current date.
