Finding Out a Part's Exact Usage on the Lines
Sometimes it may be necessary to find out exactly how many of any
particular part are going to be used on the manufacturing lines and on
which day they are to be used. This information is available on the
system, although Line Managers may change it to suit their needs.
Within Promis there is a menu called "Gross Requirements Review" which is accessible
from the main menu by typing 10
then
10
and then 4
.
Type in the part number required and Promis will display all the build
scheduled (denoted by an "M" at the end of the work order number) and
all the flex (denoted by an "F" at the end of the work order number)
from the earliest date to the latest. It also displays any outgoing
IO's, and includes build scheduled for the past, which implies that it
was never built and is therefore late build.
