ROUTER CONTROL

The ABBASOFT Technologies Router Control module defines and organizes any process required to manufacture a product. Though not restricted to product manufacturing, the Router Control module is designed to integrate with the ABBASOFT Manufacturing system, feeding information to the Shop Floor, Project Management (Work Order), and Capacity Planning modules. Router operations are defined by description, set-up time, run-time, move-time, outside processing and other special criteria. Several types of routers are supported with this module including Estimated, Standard, and Work Order routers.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Ability to enter, modify, correct, and review standard routers provides ease in bringing together each step of the operation.
  • Establish standard work centers and operations for use in all routers for consistency in job processing.

Router Control Features

Operation Codes entry allows definition of a particular process with up to ten lines of description for use in routers. Set-up time, Run-time, and Move-time for the process can be included as well as the Work Center where the process is performed.

Work Center definition includes work center rate (dollars), outside processing costs, number of shifts per day, work center capacity, and percentage efficiency.

Specification Master files maintain information on drawings associated with a manufactured product and include:

  • Revision Level
  • Engineering change order number
  • Last ECO date
  • Drawing author

Reports may be sent to the terminal or printer to list files for Operations, Specifications, Part Numbers, and Routers.

Router Card Entry assembles operation codes and their associated work centers and costs into a sequence of events that facilitate any production. Changes in operation sequence are easily made at any time. Routers can also be locked or released for production control.

Drawings or Images may be imported and printed on the router cards since each operation on the router has an Image ID imbedded in it.

Part definitions can also be performed with complete part specifications that include:

  • Part Types
  • Scrap Factors
  • Lot or Serial Tracking
  • Product Categories
  • Receiving Inspection
  • Complete Quantity Status

Work Centers can be defined by capacity in shifts, shifts per day, shift productivity, rates for labor and burdens, effectiveness and other related criteria.

Additional Features

  • Easy Router Re-sequence
  • Duplication of Routers
  • Lock/Release Routers
  • Master Drawing Files
  • Print Sketches on Routers
  • Optional "SCRED" Drawing Program Available
  • Expanded comments in Router Entry
  • Print blank lines between operations

Flag Selectable Controls

  • Display pieces per hour, minutes per piece, or run time on router.
  • Update Router move times.
