GBMS' Shop Floor Control (SFC) module lets companies use automated data collection equipment to track material usage against work orders. Users can define detailed bill of material (BOM) information for each manufactured item, with optional item genealogy tracking of the serial / lot number from the raw materials to the finished goods. The SFC module's sub-contracting feature allows purchase orders to be generated directly from a work order to track services that are out-sourced to sub-contract vendors.
The three basic pieces of the SFC module are:
- Work Order Entry-The point at which the specific manufacturing process is defined for a production order
- Operation Completion-The ability to track quantity and status of manufactured items moving through operations
- Work Order Delivery-The transaction that creates the finished goods inventory records
At the end of the manufacturing process, users can print a finished goods label, including graphics and serial / lot information. They can also define a custom label design for each item according to its particular physical size and information requirements.
Replacing much of the manual and keyboard record-keeping process, the SFC module takes advantage of RF hand-held devices or wedge scanners for fast, efficient barcode data collection on the shop floor. Companies can integrate the SFC module with the GBMS WMS module . The SFC module can also incorporate the GBMS Attendance and Labor functionality.
