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/Employees 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 Basic Data for Manufacturing Labor 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.

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.
• 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
  
  For Labor Time the labor class calendar is used. If the employee has a calendar connected this will override the labor class calendar for the labor time.
  
  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
