Advantages
of the BCT Manufacturing Intelligence System (MIS)
General Considerations:
· Total
cost of ownership (TCO) is significantly lower than
competing products.
Simplified Corrections:
· Simplified
editing of labor transactions before they are uploaded
into Macola. Once transactions are in Macola it is much
more difficult to make corrections.
· Easily
change information while an employee currently punched
in on a job.
· Manager/
supervisor to review labor transactions and make
corrections prior to uploading them into Macola.
Advanced User Interface:
· Graph
all upstream and downstream operations quantity planned
compared to quantity reported.
· Graph
all upstream and downstream operations planned labor
hours compared to actual labor hours.
· Scan
a single barcode that includes both the shop order and
operation to reduce time and increase accuracy.
· Record
information in the fiver user defined fields per labor
transaction.
· Manufacturing
employee to view the labor transactions they have
recorded today.
Advanced Capabilities:
· Employees
are allowed to work in departments and work centers
other than their home departments and work centers.
· Automatic
creation of clock card records without requiring
separate data entry.
· Allocation
of quantity completed between all members of a crew.
· View
real time data that include historical transactions and
that have not been uploaded to Macola.
· Online
real time validation of shop orders, operations,
manufacturing employees, indirect codes, machines,
scrap reason codes, reject reason codes, reject
locations, etc.
· Automatically
create lunch punch in/out records and associate the time
with an indirect code.
· Automatically
create break punch in/out records and associate the time
with an indirect code.
· View
history of transactions that were entered in the
Manufacturing Intelligence System.
Advanced features:
· Mass
change the pay period start date for employees that did
not work in the prior pay period.
· Distribute
a manufacturing employees time against multiple shop
order / operations and indirect codes
· Creating
of complex rounding rules that allow you to define punch
in and out rounding ranges per shift. For example:
o
7:00am to 7:09am – Record as 7:09am
o
7:10am to 7:19am – Record as 7:19am
o
7:20am to 7:24am – Record as 7:24am
o
7:25am to 7:30am – Record as 7:30am
o
For human resource purposes both the
actual punch in/out time and the rounded punch in/out
time is recorded.
o
You may also set up employee specific
rounding ranges to address the needs of employees that
work usual hours.
· The
ability view Online Dispatch information without
consuming Macola licenses.
· Optional
module to perform Business Analysis of labor transaction
information utilizing cubes
