Automotive components: the lot, the scrap, and the job
A component job has a lot, a scrap rate, and hours. The price was accepted on a PPM and a cycle time. The job ran a different scrap rate, and the cert packet is built after the truck is scheduled.
The packet should be the record the job already has.
What the open job has to show
- Material lot on the job.
- Good pieces and scrap before shipment.
- Hours against the cycle the quote sold.
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
Scrap is over the quote for the third week. The planner still releases the next release on the quoted rate. Purchasing buys to that release. The floor already knows the rate is wrong.
Let this job correct the next release. 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.
