Run the Manual Lot Flow

You'll follow 2024 aluminum all the way to a shipped package of hardened coupling pins. Every step is a lot operation in Ops → Lots → Lot Manager: choose the operation and its asset, then enter the input and output lots.

All assets below are under CoreForge\Philadelphia.

Reference Materials: Executing Lot Operations

Executing Lot Operations​

The Lot Manager screen shows the location and state of all lots. Lot Operations can be executed from this screen, however, it is primarily intended to demonstrate how lot operations can be executed and it is expected that custom operator screens would be created using this screen as an example.

Receive the raw materials
  1. Add a Receive operation at Storage\Receiving with one output: serialization Raw Aluminum, item AL2024, 1000 lbs, state OK. Kanoa names it RAL0000001.
  2. Add another Receive at Storage\Receiving with two outputs from Raw Blending Ingredients: 100 gallons of STD-COAT (RBI0000001) and 50 gallons of PRM-COAT (RBI0000002).
Machine and blend
  1. Open RAL0000001 and add a Transfer to Machining\Machine 1: input 100 lbs, output the same lot. Receiving now holds 900 lbs and Machine 1 holds 100 lbs.
  2. Add a Machine operation at Machining\Machine 1: input 100 lbs of RAL0000001, output 50 units of CP-2024 from WIP Machined Parts (WMP0000001).
  3. Add a Blend at Mixing\Mixer 1: inputs 10 gallons of RBI0000001 and 5 gallons of RBI0000002, output 15 gallons of BL-HRD from WIP Coatings/Blends (WBL0000001).
Coat and inspect
  1. Transfer all 15 gallons of WBL0000001 to Coating\Spray Line 1\Application, and all 50 units of WMP0000001 to Coating\Spray Line 1.
  2. Add a Coat at Coating\Spray Line 1: inputs 2 gallons of WBL0000001 and 50 units of WMP0000001, output 50 units of CP-2024-HRD from WIP Coated Parts (WCP0000001).
  3. Transfer the 50 units of WCP0000001 to Finishing\QA Station.
  4. Add an Inspect at Finishing\QA Station: input 50 units of WCP0000001, with two outputs: 45 units of WCP0000001 with state OK, and 5 units of a new lot you name WCP0000001-SCRAP with state Scrap.
  5. Open WCP0000001-SCRAP and add a Scrap operation at Finishing\QA Station for all 5 units.
Pack and ship
  1. Transfer the 45 units of WCP0000001 to Finishing\Auto Pack 1.
  2. Add a Pack at Finishing\Auto Pack 1: input 45 units of WCP0000001, output 1 package of FG-CP-2024-HRD-250 from Finished Goods Packages (FGP0000001). A partial package is fine for training.
  3. Transfer the package to Storage\Shipping.
  4. Add a Ship at Storage\Shipping with the package as its input and no output.
tip

Keep moves and changes as separate operations, a Transfer and then a Machine, rather than one operation that does both. The genealogy is easier to read, and each step shows up where it happened.
