Maintenance Module
Maintenance is one of the major activities in manufacturing as it highly influences production quality and quantity and directly affects production cost and customer satisfaction.
The main purpose of maintenance is to ensure that all the machinery and equipment required for productions are operating at 100% efficiency all the time. And the maintenance process should be on a regular basis to ensure smooth manufacturing.
The goal of proper maintenance is to ensure that your equipment is running at 100% efficiency as much as possible while upholding the highest production quality.
Set up processes to analyse the performance data from your systems and monitor their operation so you can become aware of potential issues before they become a problem. Provide proper training to technicians and operators so that when a problem is detected, they can recognize the issues and know how to deal with them properly. In addition, the right training can prevent misuse or overuse of equipment to avoid unnecessary repairs.
For asset-intensive industries, industrial maintenance is important for sustaining reliable performance of instruments and machinery, safety, energy efficiency, regulatory compliance, and warranty coverage.
The main purpose of regular maintenance is to ensure that all equipment required for production is operating at 100% efficiency at all times.
A standard maintenance procedure is a detailed list of steps that describes how to perform a maintenance task and is also a documented standard to which the job or task should be performed.
Maintenance costs are the one-time or recurring costs a company incurs related to maintaining company facilities, property, vehicles or equipment.
Maintenance costs include direct labour with benefits, materials, labour by contractors, and salaries and overhead. The sum of these components should be considered total maintenance cost.
It is a top to bottom inspection of your unit to verify that your equipment is operating at optimal performance. For refrigeration units, it includes cleaning of your condenser, which can help extend the life of your compressor.
Schedule and perform regular inspections of equipment and Repair & replace any defective equipment parts.
Preventive maintenance, also known as Preventative Maintenance, or simply PM, is a formalised program used within manufacturing to optimise and extend the life cycle of production equipment. By scheduling maintenance on equipment systematically, manufacturers seek to identify and fix problems before they become failures.
Cost Savings, Safety Improvements, Improved Quality, Reduced Downtime, Improved Reliability and Increased Equipment Lifespan.
Corrective Maintenance, Preventive Maintenance, Timing Maintenance, Production Maintenance, Deferred Maintenance and Reduction Maintenance.
OEE (Overall Equipment effectiveness) is the main performance measure that drives action within Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and is used by the teams to focus their continuous improvement activities as well as identifying those areas that require resources.
The OEE formula is calculated by multiplying availability, performance and quality and is represented by a percentage. Finding the OEE of an asset starts with measuring availability, which is calculated by dividing the total run time of an asset by the total planned production time of an asset.
Corrective maintenance is carried out to correct the errors. In this process, the failure of the machine or the malfunctioning of the machine will be addressed.
This type of maintenance procedure aids in identifying the problem. It assists in finding the root cause and resolving the issue as soon as possible in order to restore machine and work centre operations.
You can create a maintenance request based on the date by choosing a maintenance calendar option. By clicking the Maintenance calendar, you will be able to create maintenance requests.
Yes, you can create your own maintenance team as per your company standard and also add the members in the team. Goto Maintenance Teams under configuration, then click on the create button to create a maintenance team.
You can create a maintenance request based on the date by choosing a maintenance calendar option. By clicking the Maintenance calendar, you will be able to create maintenance requests.
Equipment can be added from the Maintenance Module> Equipment> Machines & Tools> Create. Further add the equipment name, equipment category, maintenance team, technician, equipment used by department, employee, etc.
While adding equipment itself, its category can be defined. Equipment categories can be created from Maintenance> Configuration> Equipment Categories> create.
We can assign a responsible person to the equipment category.
Overhead cost is the sum of all the indirect costs which are incurred while manufacturing a product.
Labour cost is the cost of the work done by those workers who actually make the product on the production line.
Under the maintenance module, one can set work centers to carry the maintenance of equipment created for certain manufacturing processes, Maintenance> Equipment> Work Centers> create. Here, under the equipment tab, of the work center, one can add the equipment, technician responsible for the maintenance, the category that belongs to, estimated next failure.
Time before production is the time to set the pre-production processes such as machine setting before the production.
Cost per hour is the Cost of the work center, which is calculated by per hour.
Manufacturing different products at the same time at the same work center is a challenge in almost all production companies. We have to keep track of which work centers are in production and when it will be free etc. So to avoid the loss of productive time we can set an alternative work center at the beginning of a work center creation.
Capacity is the Quantity of units which can be manufactured in concurrently.
Time efficiency is defined as the expected duration of work orders in this work center.
OEE target is the productivity of the work center.
Manufacturing Module
A bill of material is a list of raw materials, subassemblies and other things required to fulfill an order. Consider a simple example of a T-shirt, to create one you’d need yarn, threads, buttons and some operations like cutting, stitching and packing. Additionally, you’d also need different workstations that take care of cutting, stitching, and packing. To operate these workstations, you need workers. All such details and more are captured in a BoM.
A BoM is the backbone of your manufacturing line and hence should be created carefully with correct details.
A manufacturing order or work order contains details about the products to be manufactured under a specific timeline.
Once the MO is confirmed, a new button appears to check availability. Click on that then the available quantities are reserved and components that are not available are shown in red color.
Yes, you can pause the work order operation in between.
In each work center, we are adding the OEE-the overall equipment efficiency of each work center is available at the overview. Moreover, the OEE defines the productivity of the work center.
Yes, worksheets can be added while configuring the operation such as worksheets in Google Slide, Text, or PDF format can be added.
While creating a work center, you can choose an alternative work center for it. Therefore, whenever a process requires this work center and if it is busy with another operation, the alternative work center will be taken to process the operation on behalf of it.
To manage production based on the sales order confirmation, for the product the route ‘Replenish on Order (MTO)’ and ‘Manufacture’ should be enabled,
While we create BoM for a product we can define the by-product generated under the ‘By-Products’ tab. You can view the products, their quantity, UoM, and also can mention produced in operation under this tab.
Sometimes for manufacturing a product, chained BoM may be used. For example, Product A has a BoM consisting of Component 1 and component 2. Further, component 1 has a BoM containing component 11 and component 12, and Component 11 may have another BoM. Therefore, to make Product A, firstly you need to manufacture component 11 and component 1. This configuration is called Multi-BoM.
Configuration of the Multi-BoM is the same as that of the normal BoM. I can add BoM to all products needed to be manufactured and also the routing of such products should be ‘Manufacture’ and ‘Replenish to Order (MTO)’.
In this case, we need to change the quantity to produced.
Once the Mo is completed, a smart tab appears as ‘Product Moves’. Go to product moves where we can find the components are moved from stock to production location and the finished product is moved from the production location to stock.
Go to Manufacturing> Planning> Planning by work centers, you can view the planned work orders on each work center and can be analyzed in giant chart view. In addition, planning by production is also available in the planning menu.
Go to Manufacturing> Reporting> Overall Equipment Effectiveness, this will give the report on productivity. You can use ‘Filter’ and ‘GroupBy’ to filter data based on fully productive, Quality losses, Availability losses and performance losses etc.
Yes, the cost analysis is shown once the MO processing is completed and a new tab appears as ‘Cost analysis’. It will provide details of the cost structure of the product, cost of individual components, and work center cost.
Yes, it is possible by setting quality control points on all operations.
Subcontracting is to give an order to the subcontractor for making the product on behalf of us. Now create a BoM for the product, then you can have the BoM type as ‘Subcontracting’. Enable Subcontracting option and add a subcontractor.
Next is configuring the product, for subcontracting a product, should enable route ‘Resupply Subcontractor on Order’ in the inventory tab of product form and add vendors in the purchase tab.
In addition, the subcontractor has to make the product for us, so for that, we have to raise a purchase order to the subcontractor for the product.
To create a PO for the product from the subcontractor and go to Purchase> Purchase Orders, you can create a purchase order for the subcontractor.
The next concept is receiving the product from the subcontractor. So in the ‘Material Receipts’ a record corresponding to PO is there, you can validate and accept the product.
Some time for particular industries say the furniture industry who are experts in making wooden lamps gets an order for making a wooden lamp with an electric bulb and they have all components with them but they are not so expert in connecting with electrical circuits. In such cases, they can send all the BoM to a subcontractor company who can assemble the product and send back the finished product.
In the ‘Kit’ concept, we are using the kit to sell containing components and the user needs to assemble that. For example, a product ‘Computer Kit’ containing BoM as Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse and CPU and BoM type is kit. Therefore, on selling the product Computer kit, it will sell as a kit containing the components.
The BoM type ‘Manufacture this Product’ is used to manufacture a product. Therefore, in the inventory tab of the product form, you should enable route ‘Manufacture’ to perform a manufacturing process.
BoM type refers to the kind of BoM used for product manufacturing. Zumbido Express uses three types for BoM ‘Manufacture this Product’, ‘Kit’ and ‘Subcontracting’ however, the purpose of each BoM is different.
Operations can be created from Manufacturing> Configuration> Operations> Create. Initially, add a name for the operation and the work center in which the operation has to be performed. Further, you can perform the duration computation for operation, it can either be ‘Compute based on tracked time’ so need to mention the no of last work orders or can be ‘Set duration manually’, then manually add a default duration for operation. In addition the worksheet for operation can be added as Google Slide, PDF, or Text and finally save the changes.
Work centers are created from Manufacturing> Configuration> Work center> Create. Then add work center name, code for the work center, working hours and company. Moreover, if the allotted work center is busy with some other operation we can assign an alternative work center. Furthermore, add the alternate work centers at the specified field. Additionally, under the general information tab add production and costing information like time efficiency, OEE target, Capacity, Cost per hour, a time before and after production. In addition, add the equipment details required for production in the equipment tab and finally save the changes.
Yes, multiple BoMs can be created for a single product since the same product can be generated from different components. Moreover, to identify the BoMs we can give a ‘Reference’ during BoM creation. Therefore, while we created an MO and on choosing BoM, the reference also appended along with BoM.
For manufacturing a product at the base it is required to configure the BoM. Go to Manufacturing module> Products> Bills of Materials> Create and choose the Product, Quantity and UoM.
Furthermore, if you add the variant, then the BoM is used to produce that particular variant. Choose BoM type as ‘Manufacture this product’.
In addition, under the components tab add the components required to manufacture the product, its quantity, and the UoM.
Moreover, in the operations tab add the operations to be performed in different work centers and the time required to complete each operation. Additionally, the by-products that may be generated as a result of production can be defined under the By-Products tab. In addition, under the Miscellaneous tab, Manufacturing Readiness can be set as ‘When all components are available’ or ‘When components for 1st operation are available’. The version of BoM is auto-filled and flexibility can be ‘Allowed‘, ‘Allowed with warning’, ‘Blocked’.
Save when all data is correctly entered.
An MO can be created from Manufacturing module> Operations> Manufacturing Orders> Create. Before creating an MO we have to configure the Work center, operations, and BoM for the product.
Now on creating MO, choose the product, quantity to produce, BoM, etc to manufacture the product. Moreover, once the BoM is chosen the work center and the operations defined in the BoM are auto-filled and then you can confirm the MO. In addition, you can check the product availability and click on the plan option available to plan work order operation. Furthermore, start the operation, and when operations are completed click on ‘Mark as done’.
Then certain smart tabs will appear which will provide you options on traceability, product moves, valuation, and cost analysis.
Manufacturing, PLM, Maintenance, and Repair make the production complete. In addition, the manufacturing module creates BoM for the product and processes the production, while PLM helps in engineering change if required. Furthermore, the maintenance module is for equipment & maintenance and the repair module is for repairing products.
To manufacture products from sale orders, we have to configure the product in such a way that the route is Manufacture and Make To Order. So when you create a sale order for the product a corresponding MO will be created in the manufacturing app.
In Express, we use the Bill of Material(BOM) for simplifying manufacturing processes. Using BOM we can add components, quantity, and routings of the product.
We can block the work center using the blocking option in Zumbido Express and can give the blocking reason. The blocked work center can be easily identified from the work centers overview, by indicating a red blocked mark on the overview.
In Zumbido Express, there is an option for using subcontractors while creating a bill of material for the manufacturing process. Flexibility, Labor cost, Limited capital investment, Focus on your core business, Mutual benefits are the main advantages of using a subcontractor.
The Zumbido Express has an option for cost analysis in each manufacturing order after completion of production. From which we can understand cost structure and cost of operation. And also we get the cost price of the final product.
We will get each work center productive time separately from the pivot view of Overall Equipment effectiveness in the Reporting.
Yes, We can easily manage the situation by pausing the production and after the confirmation, we can resume the production.
Yes, we can create a manufacturing order at the time of sale. For that, we want to set a Manufacturing route and MTO for the specific product.
By providing Lot and serial numbers for the products, the manufacturing business becomes transparent and accurate. Also, we get the stocks to move, so the manufacturing business becomes error-free.
In Zumbido Express, there is a feature called By-Products. By using this feature, we can easily handle the By-products.
If one of the components of the product occurs any defect, we can unbuild the product instead of scrapping the product completely. So we can use other components from the defect that occurred product.
Zumbido Express has an option, the scrap option. It enables us to scrap product which is damaged at any stage of production. We can see the scrap button at every stage of manufacture. When we click on the scrap button we can easily scrap the product. Also in the operation, we can see the scrap orders there we can if want to create a scrap. When we scrap something it automatically goes to scrap location.
Customer satisfaction is the most important thing in business for the quality for the product is much important. A company always tries to provide good quality to its customers. So the quality check is a must in a company. Zumbido Express has a module of quality check at different stages of production. Zumbido Express has a module called Quality for this purpose.
The quality team can be created from the Quality module> Configuration> Quality teams. Moreover, you can create a new team from here and add the email alias, and can decide from whom the mails are accepted.
Yes, firstly we have to create a quality control point from the quality module. Go to Quality module> Quality control> Quality points, create a quality point for receipts or delivery orders as per requirement. Suppose a quality point is set for receipts by adding a title, products, control type, type, and operations chosen as receipts.
Furthermore, while creating a transfer (type receipts) for the product from the inventory module and clicking on ‘mark as to do’, then a new button will appear for ‘quality checks’ and ‘quality alert’. On clicking the quality check button, a wizard will open to choose whether the quality test is pass or fail. Additionally, different quality check types can also apply in this scenario.
The types of quality control points available are:
Pass-Fail: two options PASS and FAIL are available to mark whether the operation is passed or failed
Take a Picture: to take picture of the product
Instructions: Add instructions
Measure: Measurement precisions checking
Basically, control points are configured inside the operations, and the details such as components, and operations are configured inside the BoM.
Go to Manufacturing> configuration> operations, for each operation, there will be an option to add ‘steps’ which are the quality control points. Click on the steps and create quality control points. So once the operation is completed the quality checks to be done are updated in the Quality module, Quality module> Quality control> Quality checks. In addition, you can create the quality control points from here also. This also lists the quality checks having different statuses like to do, passed, failed, etc. Furthermore, you can do the quality check from there and validate the quality check based on the type used.
For that purpose, we have the feature of the equipment category under maintenance. Maintenance> Configuration> Equipment Categories. Upon clicking Create button, you can create a new equipment category. Under the create form, one can specify the equipment category name, responsible person.
Set a product with BoM and make a sale order for that product. Then a manufacturing order will be auto-created and for that, the procurement method must be made to order and. In such cases, when we confirm sale order manufacturing order is created.
