Time & material
Capture the work performed and stock consumed, with reviewed time, traceable heat usage and controlled remnant returns.
Record time against the right operation
Operator opens a ticket against an assigned, eligible operation and its released traveler. Clock-on checks the job’s release, holds, material, predecessor quantity and inspection requirements. A place in the queue alone does not authorize work.
At clock-off, the ticket records a valid interval, time type, completed quantity and scrap with its reason. Setup, Run and Rework stay distinct. Indirect work uses a code such as maintenance, cleanup, training or waiting and carries no job or production lot.
Reported quantities identify the actual input lot. They are submitted for review before changing completed production or job cost. The remaining quantity and any inspection requirement determine the next action; clocking off does not automatically complete an operation.

Allocate effort and machine occupancy accurately
| Basis | How it is recorded |
|---|---|
| Labour | The employee’s allocated share of each worked interval |
| Machine | The time the named physical resource was occupied |
| Burden | Labour hours or machine hours under the captured shop policy |
| Rate | The reviewed effective rate and any protected employee override |
One person tending two machines can record one labour-hour and two occupied machine-hours when that is the actual work. Concurrent labour shares cannot exceed the person’s elapsed availability, and one machine cannot be counted as occupied twice. Unresolved overlaps block posting until the allocations are reviewed.
The protected policy sets the worked-time or approval-time rate basis. Each approved allocation retains the rate actually used, so later rate changes do not rewrite the ticket. Employee overrides remain restricted to the authorized roles. Rework retains its real labour, machine and burden costs instead of being hidden inside the original run.

Review and post the ticket
Shop Supervisor reviews submitted work within their own work-centre scope; Production Manager can review across the shop. The reviewer checks clock boundaries, employee identity, allocations, quantity and the operation revision. The reviewer must be independent of the worker and material editors; switching roles does not create independence.
A correction before posting returns a revised ticket for review. Approval freezes the basis and posts the related cost and production effects together. Repeating that action returns the existing result. Indirect time remains available for efficiency analysis without being charged to a customer job.
Posted mistakes use linked corrections that preserve the original ticket and signed ledger effects. If the production quantity has already moved, been inspected or shipped, the correction must reconcile that downstream scope before it can change the source result.

Issue the actual stock and heat
A material issue names the exact stock record and job-material requirement. The material, customer ownership, heat, cert and released requirement must agree. Quantity is converted to the material’s base unit using the frozen compatible conversion; valuation uses that base quantity and its original unit cost.
An issue consumes the job’s stock claim and reduces physical on-hand together. It does not leave the same quantity reserved after it has been issued. Switching to another heat requires a valid new claim and release of the old unused claim, preserving both transactions and the cert lineage.
Customer-supplied material stays with that customer’s jobs at zero shop cost. Zero valuation does not remove its quantity, custody or inspection controls. Buyer and Production Manager can manage authorized issues and returns; Operator is limited to their own eligible work.

Return useful material without losing its history
| Return or scrap action | Quantity and cost effect |
|---|---|
| Unused return | Restores only the unused, unreturned quantity of the original issue and credits its original job cost |
| Remnant return | Creates a usable destination with measured dimensions and the original heat, owner, cert and cost lineage |
| Scrap at issue | Records the single stock outflow and the cost of that material |
| Already-issued scrap | Records its disposition without another rack withdrawal or a second material expense |
Returns retain the original issue and a separate destination. Returning a length stated in inches after an issue in feet uses the reviewed conversion; the entered number is never treated as if it were already in the stock unit. Consumed, returned and scrapped quantities together cannot exceed the original issue.

Keep scrap and the next action visible
Scrapped production reduces the pieces that can move forward. An NCR records the affected lot, cause and reviewed disposition. A remake or agreed demand reduction addresses the resulting shortfall.
Existing material and labour can be attributed to scrap for analysis without adding that expense again. Only new rework or other incremental work creates new cost. Paper entry and configured floor terminals use the same identities and review steps, with device support established during rollout.

Reports
All reportsLabour Efficiency
Net approved allocated labour Setup/Run hours against the original/current estimated hours for comparable quantities; MachineHours and Rework are separate. Indirect time by code is included separately, never posted to a job. Preserve worker/work-centre and rate basis; zero estimate yields unavailable ratio, and overlapping tickets cannot create extra employee hours.
Material Usage and Remnants
Posted issues less original-linked returns in material base units against frozen requirements; unused material, consumed/scrapped material and returned remnants are separate. Include owner/customer/heat/cert and usable dimensions. Rack scrap is a physical stock event; issued scrap is not a second stock deduction.
Roles and permissions
Sets protected margin, purchase and exception policy, decides below-margin offers, above-limit purchases, financial changes and manual costs, and authorises every job close. Default independence is person-based. A permitted OwnerException requires an explicitly activated small-shop scope and a reason on that decision; switching roles never creates independence.
Builds Draft offers and routing revisions. Every offered quantity alternative is reviewed, and accepted versions stay unchanged. Can release at-margin offers through the recorded EligibleEstimator path; cannot lower the target floor on the quote.
Releases approved job plans, confirms finite schedules, manages material and production scope, reviews tickets across the shop, and prepares close evidence for Shop Owner. May change work-centre capacity/calendar assignments under policy, but not machine/labour/burden rates or employee rate overrides.
Sequences and oversees assigned work centres. Ticket review checks actual employee identity and the work centre's named supervisor; a supervisor cannot approve their own work ticket.
Performs assigned released work, records actual intervals and proposed good/scrap quantities, and issues material to the assigned job. Reported quantities remain provisional until the applicable approval; the operator cannot directly edit aggregate production or stock balances.
Procures material/outside services, records exact supplier and customer-material custody, and controls stock-room issues/returns. Receipt arrival is separate from cert/inspection acceptance. Supplier status and material master edits do not grant financial or stock-balance bypasses.
Inspects disjoint presented lots, records first-article continuation and final acceptance, and resolves technical nonconformance scope. Final acceptance requires a person independent of the production being accepted; a second role does not waive that boundary.
