22.4 Job Console and Job Time Card

Job Console, as the name suggests, is where you find and do your jobs. When work orders are scheduled to separated jobs in different work centers,  you can assign work centers to workers. In this way, workers will find their jobs in assigned work center as they login the system. 

22.4.1 Work Center Assignment

Click “Job Scheduling – Work Center Assignment” to assign work centers to users.

Click “edit” button in the left down corner to open the assignment UI:

Select a user on the left side, and check work centers of this user  on the right side. Click “OK” button at the right bottom corner to finish.

22.4.2 Job Console Management

Click “Job Scheduling – Job Console” to open the job console  screen with four tabs: “My Running Jobs”, “All Running Jobs”,  “My Jobs” and “All Jobs”. This is the administrator mode for Job Console. When workers login, they will see only tabs of “My Running Jobs” and  “My Jobs”. 

The My Running Jobs tab will be selected once you log in and will be blank since you have not logged in for the day. Click on the My Jobs tab to start logging time towards a job. 

22.4.2.1 My Jobs

At the left of the screen, you can pick your Machine/Work Center from the scroll down list. If there are jobs scheduled on a machine, the little screen icons will be green.

In parenthesis there is a summary of all the work available to clock on a machine. The number of jobs for today will be in black and the jobs that are behind schedule are in red. 

By clicking on your Work Center you can see all of the jobs that are scheduled to the right under the two tabs of “My Today Jobs” and “My Overdue Jobs”  as seen below

Note: If you do not see your job on the My Today Jobs tab, and it is apparent that the work order at your machine is not done, it will most likely be in the My Overdue Jobs tab.

The times scheduled will be in order from beginning to end of the day so if your shift is in the middle of the day, you may have to scroll down the list to find the right time slot. 

All of the important information regarding the work order is displayed on the right including the estimated time, the work order and line item, the sequence number, the part number, description of the sequence, and also the due date of the work order. 

NOTE: The due date for the work order is the day that the work order will be processed to be shipped so the machining, debur, inspection, and warehouse processing must be done by this date to ensure the work order is on time to the customer.  

22.4.2.2 My Running Jobs Tab

This tab will be selected when you first open the Job Time Card and will be blank since you have not logged in on any jobs for the day.

The My Running Jobs tab is best used to keep track of what jobs you are logged into since it will show all of these jobs regardless of the machine. If you are logged in on two different computer terminals, all of your jobs will show up under this tab.

Be sure to check this tab before you clock out to make sure you are logged off all your jobs because if you exit the Job Time Card, you will NOT be clocked out automatically and you will be charging excess time to the job. 

22.4.3 Navigation in the Job Detail Clipboard

There are eight  tabs on this page to access and record information on the work order in 2BizBox.

The Create NCR button can be found at the bottom left corner of the Job Time Card screen while viewing any tab.

The next window that will come up prompts the machinist to give a Problem Description. This is where the machinist describes why the part is non-conforming to the print. Also on this screen the pulled quantity on the right hand corner needs to be changed to 0 as seen from the picture below. Click OK to move on to the next screen.

The next screen will automatically pull the work order number, part number, the pull date, and the problem description that was just entered from the previous screen Working from the top right of the screen:

So, if the part was being machined in house, the vendor ID will pop up as ARR001A for Arrow MP

Responsibility: Fill in who is responsible for the non-conforming part. If it was a machining error, put in the employee ID of the person responsible. Other options are Programming and the name of the vendor if the parts are done by an out of house. 

SO # and PO#: Inputting the sales order number and the purchase order number is optional and is just there for additional information to identify the part.

If you click on the time detail link that is circled below, you will be forwarded to a Time Detail screen where all of the times that are entered are recorded along with the quantities and rejections.

22.4.4 Logging Times In The Job Time Card

Job Time Card provides a brand new UI that is able to be operated through touch screens in the work shop. By touching the screen, workers can record their finished part quantity, create NCRs and record inspection specifications as mentioned above. 

22.4.4.1 Job Time Card 

Once you have picked the correct work order, push the start button to begin running your time. The time slots you are given include the set up time, so you must start your time as you begin your set up. 

Once you are done with the setup, stop the time so you can distinguish that time as your setup time. This is done by filling in the circle with the Setup indicator on it like below.

Continue the rest of the parts under the Run bullet until the sequence is done or the shift ends. There are two ways to end the recorded times by either stopping or finishing the time sequence.

Stop the time if you have started a part and were instructed to work on another work order. At the end or your shift Finish the time and enter your part totals for the day. If you complete a sequence for the entire quantity before your shift ends then you may finish the time as if it were the end of the shift. 

Once you have finished a sequence, go back to your Work Centers Tab and find the next scheduled sequence/part.

22.4.4.2 Rework Parts

If there are parts that need rework, log into an open sequence for that part to log time. If there is no open sequence ask the scheduler to open up a time. When finished, add in the comments box the number of parts reworked and then press ok.
