Assembly execution

Warehouse Operator records a production entry against the operation. The entry captures start and end, good quantity, scrap quantity and labour hours. It begins as a draft and can be submitted for review. Warehouse Manager compares the reported quantities with the operation and the build’s released scope before accepting the entry. A correction retains its link to the earlier record.

Suppose a team starts a run of display kits and damages a small quantity of sleeves. The entry should show good kits and scrapped pieces separately, with the actual labour time. The build’s final output is not the sum of every intermediate operation’s good quantity. A terminal operation and accepted completion define finished output. This prevents a pack assembled, labeled and checked at successive steps from appearing as finished stock several times.

• Instructions. The frozen routing operations give an ordered name, instruction and terminal marker for the build.
• Assignment. Work order operations connect those instructions to an assigned person, dates and actual execution state.
• Evidence. Production entries retain measured good output, scrap and labour with a reviewer and correction lineage.

Walk the real floor sequence and decide which operation creates the completed kit quantity. Confirm what staff should record as scrap at each point. Agree how a partly completed build is reported and how a stopped operation moves into exception. Make sure the person assigned to an operation can identify the correct build and instruction without relying on a verbal job name.

The manager should review a sample entry that spans a shift boundary and one with scrap. Labour hours, start and end times need to describe the same actual work. Where instructions change, issue a new route version for future work and keep the released build on its existing basis. The team can then explain why two batches used different work steps.

Take a released build with an assembly step and a terminal packing step. Assign each operation to a named operator. Record the first step with good units, scrap and labour hours, then submit it. Have Warehouse Manager accept the evidence before the next step uses that quantity. Record the terminal step for only the units that reached finished condition. If a quantity was entered against the wrong operation, use a linked correction and verify that the original history is still visible.

• Operations assigned to me — Current operator assignments with their planned times and state.
• Production entries for review — Submitted throughput and labour that a manager must check.
• Build status board — Active builds and those waiting for completion or close.

Use assembly and completion and completion and costing.
