Hi Everyone,

 

I'm currently working on an implementation for a manufacturing business and am wondering what best practices for tracking “downtime’’ in production orders during the manufacturing process.

 

For example:

  • a production worker is injured during the production run and the manufacturing line halts for 30 minutes. 
  • or a piece of machinery has techincal issues and is serviced on the fly for 10/15 minutes

what would be the best way to track this downtime vs the actual labor captured.

Open to any ideas, recommendations.

Much appreciated 

Could you use a different Labor Code?

Create a work center called Down Time? 
For labor entry, use this work center to record hours spent during down-time. 
By treating it as a work center you’ll have the ability to record down-time with it’s own standard cost. And sill have a unique labor code associated to the Down Time WC’s shift as suggested by @angierowley75. 

By making it a WC, you can probably use some of the out of box MFG reports as well to report on Labor hours spent in Down Time WC.
