Stop Production

Explanation

This activity is used to stop a started production on one or several operations.

When calculating operation hours, the priority of calculating the operation hours should be as follows:

1. Based on the calendar settings defined in the Manufacturing Labor Class/Person tab.
2. If calendar is not defined, when IFS/Human Resources is installed, refer the employee's work schedules defined in the Employee Schedules and Rules window.
3. If employee’s schedule is day type independent or
   If IFS/Human Resources is not installed, and no valid schedule exists for the employee;
   then use the labor class calendar defined in the Manufacturing Labor Class window.

This activity contains a Security Checkpoint which can be activated by an administrator. With an activated security checkpoint on a function you will have to authenticate yourself again in order to fulfill the function. Additionally, whenever a security checkpoint is successfully passed a security checkpoint log is written, creating an audit trail of what is done.

If you select and stop operations run in parallel (having unique clocking sequences) the stop dialog box will appear for each operation, while if started in sequence (sharing the same clocking sequence), the stop dialog box will appear only once for all operations in the sequence.

Operations connected to an operation block is expected to be stopped together. You are still allowed to start them individually, but a warning will be given.

Prerequisites

The production (runtime) must have started on the operation.

System Effects

• The started production will be stopped for the selected operation and all operations with the same clocking sequence.
• The stop time will be recorded on the clockings. The clockings can be viewed in the Clockings tab. 
• The cogwheel symbol the operation had during the production will be now removed.
• The started production will be stopped. The selected operation and all operations with the same clocking sequence will be stopped.
• If Stop Reason is set to Interrupted an exclamation mark will appear to the left in the operation list.
• If the selected Interruption Cause is connected to a park reason the Park Shop Order dialog box will open assumed the operation is stopped from the Shop Floor Workbench window.
• If the selected Interruption Cause is connected to a downtime cause, a machine downtime clocking will be started for the work center resource running the operation, assuming that it does not perform any other operation.
• If the selected Interruption Cause is connected to an indirect job, an indirect labor clocking will be started for each employee running the operation assuming that he/she does not perform any other operation. If the site is configured to report labor time anonymously, no indirect clocking will be started.
• The status of the operation is set to either Partially Reported or Interrupted depending on the selected Stop Reason.
• Transactions are created in operations history:
  The total time is calculated and one transaction per clocking and operation is created in operation history.
  Time is calculated as: Stop time – Start time; calendar consideration
  
  For Machine Time the work center calendar is used
  
  If the Calculate Actual Resource Share check box is selected for the work center, the resource share is calculated with regards to other overlapping clockings for the work center resource. If the check box is cleared, the planned resource share from the shop order operation is reported.
  
  For Labor Time either HR Schedule or a calendar will be used:
  
  - If the person connected to the employee is not defined as a resource in a labor class, the HR Schedule will be used if a valid schedule exists, otherwise the calendar for the primary labor class of the shop floor employee.
  
  - If the person connected to the employee is defined as a resource in a labor class, and if Use HR Schedule is selected on the resource, the HR Schedule will be used. If Use HR Schedule is not selected, the person resource calendar will be used. To avoid hard stops for the operator when reporting, the calendar of the labor class will act as the last resort if Use HR Schedule is selected, but no valid schedule is found and no resource calendar is defined for the person either.
  
  Depending on the site settings either all time, only calendar time or calendar and overtime is included.
  
  In Anonymous Reporting mode, the crew size defined in the start dialog will be saved on the labor transaction and used in the cost calculation.
  
  In Employee Reporting mode, one transaction per employee is created and the crew size is calculated with regards to other overlapping clockings for the employee.
  
  The total time on the operations started at the same time (with the same clocking sequence) will be proportionally divided among the operations according to the planned time defined on the shop order operation line.
  
  Example: three operations have 10, 15, and 22 planned minutes (planned total of 47 minutes), and in total 62 actual minutes are reported.
  
  10/47x62=13,1915
  15/47x62=19,7872
  22/47x62=29,0213
  13,1915 + 19,7872 + 29,0213 = 62

Procedure

To perform this activity from Shop Floor Workbench using Stop Production:

1. In the Shop Floor Workbench window, select the operation line and click Stop Production.
2. The Stop Production dialog box will open.
3. Select an appropriate option in the Stop Reason list. When selecting stop reason Interrupted, an interruption cause must be entered in the Interruption Cause field. Use the List of Values to select from available interruption causes.
4. Optionally enter or edit the note in the Clocking Note field.
5. If stopping a labor clocking and the site is reporting in anonymous mode, optionally modify the crew size to be reported in the Crew Size field.
6. Click OK. The finish time can be viewed in the Clockings tab.
   Note: If you have selected several operations run in parallel (having unique clocking sequences), the stop dialog box for the next operation will appear after clicking OK.

To perform this activity from Shop Floor Workbench using Approve Operation:

1. In the Shop Floor Workbench window, select the operation line and click Approve Operation.
2. The Approve Operation dialog box will open.
3. Select the Stop Clockings check box.
4. Click OK. The finish time can be viewed in the Clockings tab.
   Note: If you have selected several operations run in parallel (having unique clocking sequences), the approve operation dialog box for the next operation will appear after clicking OK.

To perform this activity from Time Clock:

1. Click Stop Production in Time Clock.
2. Enter the Employee ID or the Team.
3. Operation IDs with ongoing clocking for operation run by the employee or the team will be listed, select the operation ID you want to stop production for.
4. If you want to stop the machine clocking also, select Yes in Machine Time.
5. If you want to report an interruption, select an interruption cause. Otherwise leave the field empty.
6. If you want to close the operation select Yes in Close Operation.
7. Click OK.
