How Garment IO recommend employees to missing processes?
Garment IO has the capability to automatically estimate and execute production processes that may have been overlooked by workers. After each production process, if the number of missing processes is below the maximum threshold, the system will attempt to estimate the sector, machine, worker, and timing to automatically execute these processes.
Activating the Feature:
To activate this feature, please contact one of the Garment IO employees and request the activation of the automated processes.
Setting the Maximum Number of Missing Processes:
In the Factory Settings page (Settings -> Company Settings -> Factory -> Factory Settings icon), you can enter the maximum number of missing processes.
What is maximum number of missing processes?
This refers to the maximum number of processes that workers can forget to record. If a batch has a number of missing processes exceeding the maximum threshold, the operation will be rejected, and the worker will be prompted to inform the line supervisor. The worker will receive a message on their Garment IO devices indicating that they have exceeded the number of missing processes.
What do we mean by missing processes?
Missing processes are all the processes that are dependent on the process being currently recorded by the worker but have not been recorded yet.
Consider the following scenario to illustrate the dependency relationship between processes, with a specified threshold of three missing processes.
Should an employee record only Process 1 in our system and subsequently attempt to record Process 5, the system will not accept the input and will display an error message on Garment IO device indicating that the threshold of missing processes has been exceeded.
Conversely, if an employee attempts to record Process 4, the system will accept it as the number of preceding unrecorded processes—Processes 2 and 3—does not surpass the threshold. In this situation, the system will recommend employees automatically to Processes 2 and 3, due to the possibility that they might have overlooked scanning these on the Garment IO device.
Important Notes:
- Before activating the feature, ensure that the dependencies of all mandatory processes for each style are properly added.
- The system will not automatically recommend employees for any optional processes included in the dependency of the style or preceding processes.
- If the number of missing processes exceeds the acceptable maximum, the device will reject the operation and display a message indicating that the number of missing processes has been exceeded, and the system cannot record that process.
- However, if the number of missing processes is less than or equal to the maximum threshold, the current operation will be accepted, and the missing processes will be recorded. The system will estimate the section, worker, machine, and timing for these missing processes automatically. A detailed explanation of how the system accomplishes this is provided below.
How the System Automatically Estimates Worker, Machine, and Production Section?
- The system searches for the latest completed batch of the same order and process for the missing process. The system assumes that the worker who produced that batch is the one responsible for the missing process. It also assumes the same machine and production section for the missing process.
- The system records the time of the latest batch as the production time for the missing process, adjusting the actual production time based on the number of pieces in the batch.
- If no worker has performed this process on any batch of this model before, the process will not be automatically executed, and a worker must perform at least one on the device.
How is it initiated?
The system is designed to initiate recommendations through two distinct mechanisms:
- Automatic Triggering: As illustrated in the earlier example, when a process is recorded and the system detects that preceding processes have not been entered, it automatically triggers a recommendation.
- Manual Activation: In instances where a process has not been recorded and a user opts to enter the data manually, the system responds by presenting a list of recommended employees. The user is then able to review this list and select the appropriate employee to associate with the process.
Both methods are integrated to ensure thorough and efficient tracking of processes, while providing users with the flexibility to update records as needed.
