Operation dispatch generates details of jobs (Work-order/operations) for execution at a specific work-center or work-cell (machine). Dispatch functions are used with the TOS web terminal (kiosk) allowing display of execution details (routings) in a full-size multi-line display. Dispatch details are varied and contain at minimum work order, operation, part number, standard time, demand quantity, etc. Its primary function is to eliminate the use of bar-coded paper routers and reduce documents handling errors. Operations are dispatched by scheduling priority and sequence of execution as released by a manufacturing planning system.
Information contained in the paperless router include all released orders by date of release with an option to override the assigned priority. Based upon MRP dispatch process the paperless router displays operations dispatched to a work center or a machine tool. All operations are sorted by order or priority. A complete label marks the operation complete.
Intuitive and easy to use.
