Jobshop Screen Based Data Capture (SBDC)

This comprehensive time and information collection and management system provides users with accurate Work-in-Progress and costing information, while simultaneously minimising administrative input and clerical errors. Data can be input using dedicated Screen Based Data Capture (SBDC) bar code units, onscreen menus or timesheets; with processing in real time or batch modes.

The system provides full visibility of shop floor activity with records of employee attendance, machine utilisation and up-to-date production scheduling. Completed quantities are recorded automatically as employees clock-off each operation, along with scrap/rework figures and associated reasons for the rejection.

Real time data input using shop floor terminals or PCs.

The system caters for booked or assumed work breaks, and provides automatic ‘clocking-off’ based on defined shift patterns.

The SBDC system, in conjunction with contract costing, allows complete flexibility and control with the ability to set and record normal and overtime activity against hourly wage rates

Normal and overtime activity - including approved and non-approved absence - is recorded in conjunction with hourly wage rates, to produce gross wage figures for each employee.

Shop floor supervisors have complete visibility of up-to-the-moment information, with on-demand enquiry screens providing current activity and its status.

On-demand enquiry screens provide shop floor supervisors with up to the moment information on employees’ current activity and the status of each job.
