Work-In-Process (Work-In-Progress) Tracking & Reporting Systems
Also known as
"WIP Systems," these shop floor
data collection systems are typically used whenever
"work"
(something that's being manufactured, fabricated, or repaired) travels
between a number of workstations or departments. Using bar
codes (or RFID) to identify the work order or
actual work item, personnel, performed tasks, conditions,
and other valuable data, information can be
easily and efficiently recorded and amassed.
In somewhat simple
terms, a WIP system might record and responses
to:
What (what
thing or job?)
Where
(where it is/was it located?)
Task or
operation (what work was done?)
Who (who
did the work?)
Duration
(how long did it take them?)
Output
(how many units were produced and/or
scrapped?)
Aurora has a
number of different packaged and customizable
WIP systems that can be used in everything from
a small print shop to a sophisticated
large-scale manufacturing plant.
Our simplest (and
least costly) WIP system is called
ViewPoint
and you can learn more about it
here.
