from our main menu system scheduling is
accessed under our scheduling module
here what I'm going to show you is the
pro version which is the actual version
that the scheduler scheduler would use
we have a view version and we'll discuss
that once I get inside we also have some
external access modules that allow you
to pass information from external users
and also for your external users outside
schedule or to access the reports that
come with the schedule board a schedule
board generally is a pseudo Gantt chart
if you're familiar with those and so as
you can see if I'm selecting a job you
can see the relationship of the job
across the various operations the color
coding is completely customizable so the
color coding is whatever you determine
it to be and the users can learn those
codes once you've set those up we have a
quick legend that pops up so that you
can see that you've given it labels and
you've given it various colors so
indicating that a job is currently
running or if it's past due or if where
it's scheduled is will meet its due date
which you see the dark greens well and
you see a couple of red ones there which
indicate that where they're currently
scheduled they're going to miss their
due dates you also have the ability to
have up to 14 customizable status check
offs so these can be used in various
ways they can be customized for internal
use only where you manually will track
them we also have numerous check offs
that tie into our system so if you
receipt materials against a job Biagio
system so if you're exceeding the
material the board the dye the artwork
or anything that's pertinent and and you
go through the process every city knows
the schedule board will automatically
read those and update those statuses
each time you load and save the board
you also then have on the left hand side
color codings that
indicate various timeframes and
relationship to the job when it starts
relationship to the current point in
time and relative to its due date while
we're in this you'll see that there is
numerous settings here a lot of them
just indicate how the board will
function how it appears the various
color or settings of how you want to be
so we had talked about the view version
and you can set an auto timer so that we
have several clients that have giant
screens and say their customer service
bullpens
and they can show the schedule board
live and it'll auto refresh out however
time indication that is entered here so
every time the scheduler saves it it'll
auto refresh out on the floor we also
have the ability to generate webpages
that also will auto update so if you
don't want to install a workstation out
on the floor or in various other parts
of your plant you can just have a flat
monitor that accesses a shared drive on
your network and you can completely
customize those web pages so that every
time the scheduler save updates the
boards those pages would auto update and
they appear as such so here we see all
of our machines here to the left and
then the various links to that machine
so in this case if I'm looking at my ten
here I can then see the workflow and the
job order that have been set up by the
scheduler now all of these fields and
columns are completely customizable so
when I go back to the schedule board one
of the other options that we have here
is the fact that we show you the various
data elements that we import from our
ASI database we are currently at 105
custom fields that we import in there's
another 30 or so that are based we can
easily expand this I see a couple of our
clients on here that already have our
scheduled borders are somewhat familiar
they can attest to the fact that
if they want to piece of data out of our
system and they wanted to appear within
the schedule board we can do that we
also have the ability to create
user-defined fields completely outside
of this module but usually to find
fields that are customized which you can
attach to various places in the system
and we have the ability to also import
those into the schedule board and you
can access those and add those reports
and various columns again you can even
have those appear out here on the
webpages that could generate it so in
your system we have our machine settings
which have all your standards and
capacities and on the left-hand side
you'll see those reference here so you
decide which machines you're going to
track in the schedule board some things
lend itself better for tracking than
others we have a few folks that will
actually try to track their hand
assemblies even some of their farm out
so though that gets a little harder to
track based on standards because you
really don't you ten people on a hand
assembly versus one that's going to
affect the productivity and then your
farm outs of course you're dependent
upon that farm out resource getting that
back to you on their scheduled time but
you can track those if you want if
that's part of your routing setups and
your estimates you can certainly add
those to the schedule board we have the
ability to set up a time calendar so
this if you want to get very detailed
about exacting time so if your standards
and capacities are fairly accurate we
have a lot of clients that actually put
in here their lunch breaks their dinner
breaks the mandatory union breaks so
here I've got a simple set up where this
company opens up at 5:00 a.m. they close
at 11:00 p.m. they run six days a week
Monday through Saturday and they're
closed on Sundays and so that top row
reflects that set and it's fairly easy
to set these up so if we came back to
the schedule board you see these blacked
out objects that indicate
that setting that we set up so we show
that we're opening at 5:00 we close at
11:00 we open at 5:00 the next day and
if I were to drop down to a six day view
we'd actually see the weekend encompass
here and so we see our Sunday blacked
out and we see the jobs then span across
the weekends and in physical size so we
chose to display our job objects as
accurately as we could some systems they
have a minimum size which basically just
reflects the order of the jobs but
visually looking at it you don't get a
sense of where jobs may actually start
or and we opted to try to portray the
jobs as accurate as possible
the downside being that some of these
jobs that are smaller you lose the
ability to see some of the data that's
actually on the jobs speaking of the
data that you see on these jobs this is
completely customizable so we're showing
the job number with the run quantity a
customer code in a name and a finished
good item and it's description you can
completely change those hundred and five
fields I showed you are all available
and you can customize this you can also
bring in more detail so that we have a
mouse over up here on top which can show
even more detail that's readily
available to you would just easily visit
the screen or you can actually click it
to keep it from disappearing and again
this is customizable
pretty much everything we do in here we
let you decide how it's going to look
and feel we have numerous browse pop-ups
that can be created so in this case you
see the color coded reflected on the
left you see the columns and the
sortable just like in our ASI system
yellow columns indicate that we can sort
by that data and you can decide which
columns appear here and which ones don't
you can change the order of these left
and right and remove those from here I
can access our reporting system and the
system comes with nine based reports
that cannot be all
so this case I have a job by resource
and then you see here one that I named
after myself which is actually a custom
version of this job so you can create up
to nine custom versions of our data of
our base reports so we give you nine
base reports and you can create nine
custom versions of each of those nine so
if you have reports that you want to
send to various departments as opposed
to your operations people on the floor
you can create a different version of
that that's particularly useful when
we're looking at pending jobs or pending
jobs are those that don't appear on the
board and in our system if the dates are
blank under ju1 which is our job costing
module if those dates are blanked and
they reside in a week term pending if
they have dates and of course then
they're scheduled on the schedule board
we have various ways for you to filter
and search for your data so we have this
pop up here that allows you to have to
and from ranges again you can decide
which fields appear here based on those
105 that we bring in so you can remove a
lot of these or you can add those that
are pertinent more applicable to your
job processing and workflow if you have
our touch screen system which is our
manual data entry out on the floors or
our newer system which is has the actual
scanners and data machine interface
boxes you can reference that data from
within the schedule board so in this
case this job here I can see the various
operations of make ready we had a couple
of runs all on the same machine so and
this is available in the View version so
anyone at any time can access in this
schedule board and see the status of
where job see its past transactions if
we had an open-ended transaction here
would indicate that the job is currently
running and of course I can filter it on
the various machines if I if I want to
skim that down I can also do that from
here also so if you're focusing on
a particular machine or resources we
call it all kinds of ways to skin this
cat now that pop up showed us everything
in the system I can filter down to an
individual machine which is pretty much
the same pop up with a lot more
functionality so in here I'm looking at
my 10 machine I see that I have various
jobs locked so there are various ways
that you could manually lock these jobs
so once you get them scheduled if you
don't want anything to disturb them when
you're packing or bringing other jobs in
from the pending you can lock them down
and nothing that you do can disturb them
they also auto lock if you have the
touchscreen system or the DMI system
when you import those transactions it
will apply those transactions to the job
and auto lock them for you and I can
come in here and I can lock a whole
resource I can unlock the whole resource
I can access my filters the same way I
did I got my print access and from here
I can also change the order I can
manually change the sequence number or I
can use the up and down arrows here to
change the sequence of my jobs now we
talked about the status check off
whether you're waiting for board or die
so anywhere in our system and you see
the green checkmark you can manually go
in and check off the various statuses
that you have so in this case we're
going to say okay we got the board for
this job
and it'll apply that to that job we also
have the capability of creating notes
now in the SI system we do have notes
all over the system but those appear on
the job tickets and they apply for the
whole job inside the schedule board you
can create a note that'll apply just for
this particular operation so if you need
to send a note out to Freddy on the Box
that night some pertinent reason you can
certainly do that so it comes up and
says okay I've created this note I want
to apply to all operations in this case
it's saying now I just wanted for this
one we like to know that they say
so this job this note will follow this
operation around and if we were to
access our reports here that I showed
you earlier I can run this custom one
now when I say the screen is going to
bring it to my Windows notepad and you
can see here that I've created some
notes and they can fall around so
however you distribute your schedule to
your operations folks be it the printout
email you can create all the reports can
go to excel and the CSV so that you can
create manipulate those dr. them up
however you want before you distribute
them out these notes will always appear
and follow that around so that you don't
have to add anything now of course in
notepad here because once I have it here
I can do anything I want of course then
I can go ahead and print that out and
that will of course it won't save it but
you have that ability you can change the
font things notepads fairly simple
obviously and so we see that broken down
by operation
so up here in the right hand corner I'm
going to show you a module go because
I'm dragging it from the other screen I
can't get it normally fills up the whole
screen but because I drug it from one
screen another it gets reduced here and
gets stuck well what this basically is
showing me is my capacity it's showing
on the top line that I have six days 18
hours and 52 minutes of jobs pending for
my 10 machine so I have 112 of those but
it also shows me that today I have five
jobs schedule and I've chewed up the
whole day I have no time available next
time I have time available according to
this schedule would be Monday this
became useful for a lot of our funds out
in the West Coast where they were using
customer service reps were trying to
give an intelligent due date and
feedback based on what the the board
currently shows capacity so we have some
clients that load all their jobs onto
the board so it absolutely tells them
what they have the downside to that is
that over the course of time of course
you order the jobs change circumstances
change your materials change customer
demand change so you find yourself
having to manipulate the jobs after
they're on the board as opposed to
leaving them in pending and when you get
closer to wanting to schedule them
bringing them out and your board
requires a little less manipulation but
of course the trade off then is that you
got everything penny and it's a little
bit harder to say well how much time out
or when is my next available when I got
this much in my pendant but that's again
it's based on individual preferences
with our individual clients so if I want
to change the orders of a job so we see
that this job here on the BMA is being
blocked or won't run until the 408 has
completed but I have a job behind it
that doesn't have anything else in front
of it and so if I want to bring this
forward I can simply drop and drag it on
to the job that's existing here it'll
hare at the date and time of that job
now you see that we've switched those
then we can see that oh he's back here
now
but this guy can move up so we have lots
of ways of you what we call packing the
board or optimizing it so in this case
I'm gonna go ahead and pack it and we'll
see that that job has now moved up its
brought this job back up closer to where
it was I can also take a job and change
its machine so I can easily take a job
and just drop and drag it to another
machine I'm gonna tell the span the
downtime there so now we see that that
job moved from the BMA down here to the
wind and again now if I go ahead and
pack we see that I've moved him up to
the current date and time imma go ahead
and reset my board since I haven't saved
I can always recover whatever it is I
haven't done up until I save I can undo
any of my changes of course if you do 20
changes and then the 21st change you
kind of screw it up and you undo your
you're gonna do the whole 21 change it
since your last save and we cover that
during the training portion I can also
take a job and return it back to pending
so for some reason this board is not
going to get here or something else
demands that I have to take it off the
board I can easily just drop and drag it
and it shows me all the operations for
that job saying do you want to return
all of it or do I just run a return
portions of it so I'm going to go ahead
and remove all of it so now we see that
that job is now gone and then I can
reclaim that space by running a pack
operation we also see that jobs
generally don't start until the previous
operation is finished well in the real
world that's not completely true is it
once you have enough material done from
an operation you can always go ahead and
start the next operation so we allow you
to do that so we're going to tell it we
need 30 minutes of run time on this BMA
for me to have enough material to move
it to the domino so now once I pack
we see that the domino now will start 30
minutes after the BMA has begun its
operations now that's all the drop in
drag and that's the the bells and
whistles and that's nice to show but a
lot of times most folks aren't doing
that play too a lot of times you have
days worth of jobs here and dragged in
from the back or dragged in the front to
the back so we had already sort of shown
that in this module here I can change
the order of the machines and I can
check the sequences rather than dropping
and drags particularly if the job that I
want to move into is off the screen or
or into the future so there are lots of
ways to perform the same operation for
example if I want to move a job that's
not on the board I can get an actual pop
up as opposed to drop it and dragging it
and I can actually then move it to a
different date and a different time and
off he goes
you can see that operations that fell
behind that also went with it we also
have a larger module and again this one
shrunk up on me where it shows you more
or less in Excel format and it does the
same thing where you can then come in
and use the up and down arrows to
resequenced jobs I can turn this on to
see any related operations see if I can
find one there we go so here we can see
some related operations here I can also
turn this on so that when I change a job
we have this nice little job detail card
that pops up at the bottom as I'm moving
around the various jobs and I'll come
back to him in a second so coming back
to this I can add notes from here
can check off the sequences I can return
them to pending so basically what I'm
saying is that we have four or five six
different ways sometimes to perform the
same operation enduring our training
operations with you we sort of get a
feel for what works for your workflow
what works for the person that you've
designated as your scheduler so if we
come down here now to this job card that
I had popped up we see a lot of detailed
information this is basically a mini ju1
for so for those of you that are
familiar with that these tabs match up
so if I want to see the materials of the
job I actually want to see the Machine
capacity and standards that are in a
much larger screen but I crammed into
here we can get to those and then the
job notes I talked about earlier appear
on your job carts are also accessible
from here we have a back door way if
folks are inadvertently or accidentally
run completing jobs particularly if you
have the touchscreen and they'll fat
finger or they misinterpret the question
of whether jobs run complete or not we
give the scheduler the ability to
backdoor and correct that data without
having to go out go to ju1 bring that
job up going to update mode so we've
really tried to bring everything into
the schedule board that you would need
same goes if we're down here with these
yellow highlighted field so here are my
standard values for this job and if for
some reason they're wrong or in this
case whenever you create a job out of
our system out of the estimate it's
always going to put five hours of make
ready on this job but of course if you
run like items back-to-back you may
recur piss make ready and so in this
case if the previous operation ran and I
don't need to have make ready I can
simply zero that out and I can go ahead
and save that back and recoup that time
and then I can pack the board and recoup
that five hours that was there to have a
more realistic data presentation of
those particular jobs if we showed how
you can move a job from one machine to
another it may be the case that
I want to move a lot of jobs so we have
a lot of clients that have multiple of
the same machine but they'll estimate
and schedule on one and so at run time
or during the time we're scheduling they
transfer jobs from one machine to
another and they may do that in the
wholesale manner so I can come in and
pick the ten and I'm gonna pick a lot of
these jobs at the top here and I'm gonna
move them down to my empty hair which is
invalid but you guys usually know what
you're doing we don't have a problem
with that so I'm gonna tell it yep I
want to move those so now you see all
the jobs that used to be up here at the
front of the ten now reside down here on
the hair so you can easily mass moves
for one machine to another I told you
that we have the customized reports I
told you that you could change the child
object text here and so the module to do
that is a one-stop shop so up top here
we have the ability to change our
browsers so if I want to get total MRP
off of my browsers I simply select it
hide it and when I save it next time I
run my browsers the total MRP will no
longer appear so the job resource report
that I was showing you that I had named
our start you see that here so it's a
simple WYSIWYG I'm not going to try to
disillusion we do not try to be a
Crystal Reports or any elaborate
reporting system this does not give you
sub totaling or averaging or footing
totals and that we have a totally
different mechanism for that now this is
simply a way of extracting the data so
that you can distribute it to your
operations people as part of your
schedule whether it be the web pages I
showed you or printing to the printer or
sending it to Excel so in this case I
can go ahead and say that I could test
it from right within here so we can see
that my customer that I moved from the
end is now sitting right here and I also
have the Excel version of that
and I can test that from here also that
may take a moment to fire up and then I
showed you that you had the filters the
beginning and ending ranges so this
little module here to the right Center
allows you to turn those on and off so
here's that excel and again as I pointed
out earlier we have the notes that that
travel along with all of this and so
this format can be different than the
actual paper format depending on how you
wanna we have some folks that run
completely with the excels and some to
have a mix operation on that so one of
our newer modules is this scanning so we
have some folks that actually have
manual boards yet so if you still have
one and you'd like it for various
reasons we have one particular company
where the owner has vowed he will go to
his grave never touching a keyboard and
he does the scheduling so he uses index
cards on the walls and so we print those
index cards for him we have a bar scan
on it so he just comes in and simply
scans the machine when he's done the
scheduler comes over with a little scan
bar scan JAL's machine and so he can he
can empty out the queue of that machine
and then simply start scanning the jobs
that are on the board and you start
seeing those appear as I'm clicking
those so you can use the master so we
have some folks that are actually
starting to use this without actually
having scanners to more readily set the
order some folks still have a mix of
using manual systems with our schedule
board because that's just their comfort
level or that's the ability of the
scheduler we find that a lot of
schedulers our operations folks who
aren't as comfortable sitting in front
of a keyboard and so we've tried to
design modules that help them do it
their way the way that makes sense to
them and so this is one of the modules
that are slowly being adopted
we have the ability then from here to
actually create the barcodes and so I
did that before we started up so here
are the barcodes for the various modes
that were there so what I want to clear
it and so folks will will print these
out laminate these put it on the board
and so here I have these are the actual
jobs that were available and we've
tested this even low-end scanners now
can actually scan off-screen so I got
one clients got three monitors so it
keeps the asi system on one who keeps
scheduled or middle he's got this big
screen off to the right and he runs
these to the screen he sister and just
scans these barcodes right off of the
screen which is pretty interesting to
watch him do so it's detected I've made
some change and wants to know if I want
to save those tell it no so if I told it
yes it would automatically have
reshuffled the board it would have done
a bring forward it would have done a
pack and and reset the board based on
what they did inside that module the
other capability that we have
particularly for shops were like an
Operations Manager may set the schedule
in the morning maybe comes back in the
afternoon to do a refresh or adjustments
but they also maybe have our floor data
collection whether it's touch screen or
DMI and so they can put this into what
we call an automated mode and so you can
sit there and set this monitor mode so
in this case I've got it set for 10
minutes so if I came in here and I
started this up and you can see up here
next to this blue running clock you
shake out a little traffic light and
we'll stop sign pop it up so this tells
us that this is an automated mode and
what it'll do is it'll go out and grab
those transactions every 10 minutes
bring them into the board apply them to
the jobs do a pack do a save operation
and save operation will regen the HTML
pages if you're utilizing those it'll
auto
fresh the view version if you've got
that displayed on a monitor so basically
at no time is this board more than 10
minutes stale so you can come into
scheduling putting automated mode go
away for several hours come back turn
that off
readjust this board we have the
capability of playing what if so if you
want to take a schedule board and save
take a snapshot of it and manipulate the
board or maybe insert a job to see the
effect that it would have so if you're
going to slot in a job that was
unexpected how many other jobs are going
to get pushed out will those jobs go
late if I do you know do I take this one
customer's job and and slide it in and
hack off eight other customers cuz I'm
about to miss their due dates one of the
things I can do with the color coding
readily as I can see the jobs based on
time which is what we've been looking so
all these dark green ones said where
they're currently scheduled they're
going to hit their due date I can also
then take a look at the jobs based on
their status so the way I have this
color code it is all the Browns are
missing board and if I bring up my color
legend slide that over here we see that
we're waiting for board down here at 13
and then we've got something labeled
just material so we see that these
purple ones have their board but they're
waiting on whatever it is we've
designated as material and then I have
this one job here that's gone white and
if we check its statuses we'll see that
it has all three that I've designated
now again you can have up to 14 of these
we don't have anybody's even close I
think the most I've gotta somebody's
maybe caught with nine we can actually
show if you put customers on hold and
want to select that as one of statuses
we can also show that so drop back down
to a three-day grid here
so the only thing I haven't really
showed you yet is we have two different
types of modules for pending so these
are the jobs that aren't currently on
the schedule board and so I can go
search them out by job so we have some
folks that will print out the pending
report they've put it together selected
the columns that make sense for them ink
colors dyes CAD numbers whatever it is
that that's pertinent for their workflow
process and then they simply come in
here and locate the job that they want
and once they've located it
one click boom it goes out it's on the
board and we have two parts to that so
we can go ahead and send that guy out
also and then we go back get the next
job you can check off statuses while
they're in pending you can move them
from one machine to another while it's
in pending so you don't have to wait
till you bring it to the board to change
its operations again so if you have
multiple glues or multiple flexo's or
printers you can go ahead and preset
those in the pending before they
actually hit the board the other pending
module that we have more focuses on
centering around a particular machine so
we have a couple of folks that you know
their thing is like if I can get that
one machine at maximum capacity
everything else falls out the way it
does my operation is running as well as
it can so in this case you know if we're
if we're centered around the 408 we
filter on the 408 we can then schedule
to the 408 and then when the jobs get
pushed out all other operations will
fall where they fall based on how we
designate and this is a more advanced
pending operation particular for someone
that really knows what they're doing but
you have the ability to do that from
here that more or less covers the 10,000
foot view of the functionality now
there's obviously a lot more technical
detail underneath those and I'll go
ahead and turn this back over for the
James in case any questions
have come in and this may take me a
moment as we're again we're all new to
this ringcentral are you there James I
am here you are there and say I am here
so I've got the issue we had yesterday
taken care of so I do have some
questions for you thank you very much
for the presentation Ron okay so I just
want to announce to everyone if you
could please submit your questions now
through the chat box chat box it would
be greatly appreciated can you split a
job and move part of it to another
machine okay we don't do that in the
schedule board you would do that through
ju1 there you go - Ju one tab the
routing tab so if I were to come here Ju
let me bring that over here so when you
were going to your routing tabs here you
would then be able to copy a routing and
change its values accordingly if you're
gonna split the runs or if you want to
make it a second pass you can do that
here and then you would come back to the
schedule board and you would reload the
schedule board and it would bring both
halves of those in if you left them with
the dates that they had previous dates
in time the new one would be blank so it
would be intending so you need to go get
it and bring it out if you have our
touch screen or data collection and the
actual operations person does that data
entry out there saying no I'm running
this much on this machine and no I'm
going to run this up first on this
machine when that data gets pulled in it
would reflect the fact that it got split
so that would be happening auto but it
would be up to the operations person out
there who's entering that and that we
would key off that so that's how you
would accomplish that here if you don't
do it out on the floor okay thank you
kind of a follow-up question to that
question does that affect the run time
of the job when you split it the day you
won routing has that logic built into it
so when you change the run quantity so
if you had a hundred thousand pieces and
you change that to 50 and 50 it would
adjust the run time for that operation
accordingly because all the formulas and
that's why we left it over there rather
trying to duplicate that logic because
then we'd have to maintain it in
multiple places it's better because
because it works over there it's been
proven it's been out there for decades
so it'll it'll do the adjustments to
that accordingly okay
thank you next question is there a view
only mode yes so so off of the main menu
here so if I were to close this and the
reason being that whoever your scheduler
is if you have this mom
or your interests against module you
want to make sure that the scheduler has
a nice powerful machine lots of memory
lots of CPU these objects all get
created dynamically based on the data so
they're more memory intensive so we
don't usually recommend that you have
multiple boards open on the same machine
now one thing I didn't mention and I'll
show you here so if we go under the view
it's prompting me now cuz I have three
scheduled boards set up you can set up
as many boards as you want it's an
endless number I know I thought I saw
Kenny on here earlier from 3ce they have
three scheduled boards we currently have
a client of New Hampshire that has five
different companies and so he's got five
different boards going on so if you just
have the one it launches right in in
this case I have three of them so we're
gonna late it's opening up on my other
screen here and I can't drag it until it
finishes rendering so here is the view
version and you see all of that
functionality all those buttons that
used to be up here and icons are gone so
you have the ability to to locate with
the job browse you have the ability to
to pop the individual machine up they
can access the reports so if I came here
so they can get at the reports they
cannot do any damage they cannot change
anything they can't alter any data
strictly what it is it's a view version
and so this version you can run anywhere
and the scheduler then in this setting
here could have this refresh if you can
see where my mouse is it says refresh
one minute so if you just left this open
this will Auto refresh every one minute
based on what the schedule board Pro
shows so every time he performs a save
it would update that data
the view version would refresh that
everyone that so here you see its
although refreshing after one minutes
been sitting there for a minute now now
I have this turned on where you're
seeing those those checkmarks and the
status of what it's doing you can turn
that off so if you don't want that
screen flickering it'll just sit here
hourglass would appear and then boom the
board would just change every minute
okay thank you Ron
alright I've got a couple more questions
please again if anybody has a question
go ahead and submit that through the
chat window alright if a machine goes
down for repair can I add downtime event
on the fly
absolutely so I'm bringing up the pro
version again it's on my other screen
I'll drag it over in a second but yes
absolutely you would go into the
downtime module you can select for that
particular machine and you can then
black out all they said so you would do
the same operation if you were
performing a p.m. or want to schedule a
p.m. for a particular machine so in this
case I come over here and I can select
my Astrid and I can come in to today's
date and I can give it a time so you
know we're going to go down at 3 o'clock
and close at 11:00 so I'm just gonna I'm
gonna 3 o'clock we're going down so I've
just now added a 3 to 12 on my Astrid
and so I'd save that yep it knows that
I've altered some data so it's going to
go through its gyrations here and again
you can turn this off if some people
don't like the screen flicker I like to
see where it's at in the stats so here
it's going back out to the database to
reload the jobs and we see now on the
Astrid we have our downtime right here
3:00 o'clock and it's down for the rest
of the day so yes as you can see you can
readily add that and adjust it
accordingly and and it you know
if he comes back up I can come back in
and and truncate that back so if I got
back up at five o'clock I can change
three to five and open that back up so I
can then pack my jobs and get him back
in here and start operations again till
11:00 that night and so in this case I
can just as easily remove it the other
thing that I can do I have a quick copy
and delete function so if you set up
your base hours and we go through this
with the training we set up your base
hours so in this case I set up a fiction
where we open at 5:00 and we closed at
11:00 but that may not reflect we may
stay open 11 for the machines but some
machines you know they go home at 5:00
p.m. or maybe they don't like 6:00 so
you can set up a machine specific
different schedule and if that covers
multiple machines so if we see this
Astrid I took that entry out so we see
here on the floor we've got some entries
now they're old but I could just as
easily copy these you know to another
machine so once I said that for one
machine I can just dump them over
another machine so if I have similar
machines that are running on the same
type of schedule I can really set that
up rather than you know sitting here
machine by machine going date by date
day by day or whatever that may be and
again we cover this all in training now
know if you saw up here this yellow
question mark there is about a 120 page
document that comes with this schedule
board that covers all of this so besides
the training you have that to reference
my fact we encourage you to peruse that
and read through that part Troy page
sounds daunting most of its nice
pictures so it's not as daunting as it
may sound hey next question yep thank
you Ron all right I've got one more
question for you it looks that we've got
a quiet group today so everybody
completely understands the schedule
board and that means that you did a
fantastic job well you know that careful
training don't turn it into a training
session we could be here for a long time
all right so I'm gonna end off with this
last question unless anybody else comes
through and then we'll do a quick
wrap-up session so can you schedule
people instead of machines for example
hand labor or assembly functions
actually I can we don't have it in this
one but I wrote this schedule board as a
replacement for advanced we're about 17
or 18 years ago I was generally a
big-time contractor back then traveling
around with various bigger company I
worked at Macromedia and some other
really cool places and I was working
with a package called decade which was a
competitor to MFP Pro which is a the
largest progress written software in the
world it's huge in Europe and
manufacturing sites but they had a
service module so the whole reason that
you see this tab it's called resource
doesn't even say machines it's for that
reason because a resource could be a
person and yes we can turn this with one
setting I can turn this into a services
module and the left hand side would be
people and and the cool thing is like
here you can see where I can highlight a
job and it's got these little handles on
the service module because here we're
basing the date on what the Machine
standards are on a service module you
don't have to do that
I can actually stretch a machine like so
now this won't hold it because it's
going to revert back to using the
machine stance so it thinks I moved it
but I can stretch those real time so if
I got a service guy out there on a call
and he calls in I'm gonna be two hours
longer I can stretch him out or he calls
in hey I finished out an hour earlier I
can bring that back an hour I can pack
my board reclaim that time send him on
to his next day I have used this my
daughter used to be a nationally ranked
gymnast I have used this to score
gymnastics meets where we have four or
five gym the meets throughout the day so
you have different session
and until you want to figure out how
many jimin's do I have in a session how
long does it take for each event and so
how long is it gonna take me to run that
meet and I would plug that data into
here and boom I would get my schedule
out and I can figure out how many
sessions I can have for the day so I
wrote this universally it stands alone
in its own way although obviously it
looks very seamless in in the advance
square system long-winded answer to say
yes I can do that that's great
okay so it doesn't appear that anybody
else has any questions so if that's
everything that that you want to show
Ron I'm gonna go ahead and and take back
controls here
okay so today's special we like to run a
special after each of the ask the
experts webinars so if there's anybody
on the call that does not own schedule
board then we're gonna be given a 15%
discount on the licensing and the
training and it looks like my slide did
not update but we're also gonna be
offering the same discount for the
schedule board viewer so if there are
any customers that currently own
schedule board and would like to
purchase the viewer module we're gonna
be offering a 15% discount for that as
well as part of being a part of today's
session so gonna go ahead and wrap it up
thank you everyone for your time the
meeting is now ended
