Aerospace parts: the lot, the operation, and the job cost
An aerospace part job fails when the lot, the operations, and the actual hours are reconstructed for a packet. The packet is due when the part is already late.
Hours over the quote are invisible if they are totaled at invoice.
What the open job has to show
- Material lot and operations on the open job.
- Hours by operation while the part is in the shop.
- Scrap and a remake on that job before it ships.
That is the same kind of gap as seeing the work while it is still open and quoting from a current cost.
The week the record is late
A remake uses a second piece of material. The packet still describes the first traveler. The cost of the remake is in purchasing, not on the job.
This is a job record for the part. It is not a repair-station approval and it does not replace your quality system. MFGMAX Heavy Metals holds that record. Accounting can stay where it is. Other systems can connect. What moves, and when, is shown before you commit. This does not replace a required material test, a weld procedure, or an environmental permit.
Mark the week on Problems and Solutions, or read how integrations stay with the platform instead of replacing it.
