New Features

Control Screen

1. This new feature, Control Screen, provides the management team visibility to assign work and maintain employees in a central location. Work order(s) can be created for each kiosk machine on the Control Screen. Employee(s) can be selected and dragged to each work order and either the standard direct and/or indirect activity will be automatically started. Delays can also be added to each employee using the Control Screen. As employee(s) are moved from one work order to another, it will automatically end the activity the employee was working and begin the new activity. Once the activity has been completed and the KVI values have been entered, ProTrack will calculate the standard and distribute the times to each employee.
2. Once completed, the performance % will be displayed along with how many employee(s) were assigned to the standard direct activity of the work order.

Kiosk Config

1. Kiosk Machines can be created and tied to a line and room number which can be referred to for reporting. These kiosk machines will then be used to log into ProTrack using a terminal out on the floor. Employees will be able to sign in and out of work order(s) tied to that Kiosk Machine if the supervisor is unable to make the changes through the Control Screen.

Missing Time Attedance

1. Added new screen under the Monitor menu which will list any work schedule that is missing Start of Shift and/or End of Shift time & attendance punches.

Team Config

1. Team Config is a new functionality that allows grouping of multiple employees into a team. A list of unassigned employees will be displayed from which employee(s) can be selected and dragged to form the Team. Once teams have been configured, they can be assigned to a work order via Control Screen. Employee(s) who are configured to the team will start the activity and the times will be captured automatically.

Work Order Attributes

1. Attributes can be created, such as Job Number, SKU, etc., which will be applied to work orders. As work orders are created, the user will be prompted to enter values for these attributes as they apply. These attributes can then be used as filters for reporting purposes.

Updates to Existing Functionality

Assignments Inquiry

1. Updated to allow searching of Work Orders. When a Work Order is searched, all activities tied to the work order including standard direct, indirects, delays, break and lunches will be displayed along with their statuses. Adjustments can be added for a single or multiple employees via Assignments Inquiry screen. Alternatively, adjustments as well as assignments can be deleted from a work order using this screen.

Kiosk Production

1. Kiosk has been updated to allow employees to create new work orders as well as work them through the screen. The employee will be prompted to enter any work order attributes and select which activity they would like to associate to the work order.

Misc

1. Each employee can have the Show Control Screen enabled which will allow that employee to see the Control Screen if they are logged into a kiosk machine instead of their account.
2. A facility can be configured to allow either single or multiple standard direct activities for a work order.
3. Activities can be marked as Manufacturing. When this is enabled for an activity, only these activities will be listed as workable activities within the Control Screen and Kiosk.
4. Added a system configuration FAMILY_DESCRIPTION that is used for reference any time the word Work Order is displayed.

WMS Import

1. Increased the number of User Defined Alphanumeric fields to 50.
2. Increased the number of User Defined Numeric fields to 50.
3. Added various fields that are tied to Manufacturing (i.e. work order ID).
