• The DGS input station with badge reaoer can be oirectly substituteo
for the time clock and all necessary functions regarding summarization
of time data can be oone by the Spectra 70 Processor.
• A prepunched caro is prepared for every purchase O1'oer item ann
filed in receiving until material receipt. The card along with the quantity
received is entered via an Input Station. The card may then be used as a
route ticket, and may also be used in conjunction with a prepunched shipper
identification to record C.O.D. charges.
• A prepunched card is prepared for every purchase order item that
is to be inspected, and filed at the inspection area. The items arriving for
inspection cause the propel' card to be pulled. The inspection card together
with standard rejection and oisposition cards and the quantity involveo
are entered via the DGS.
• A route ticket attached at receIVIng or at a wOl'k station is used to
record the receipt of material to stores via the DGS. The quantity recei\'ed
in stores can also act as a check on the quantity sent to stores. \Vhere
applicable, the storage location of the item can also be entered.
• Demand issues from stores occur when a worker presents a prepunched
card identifying the job, cost center and quantity required, and the item
identification (and possible location). The card and the issuer's badge
serve as the fixed input togethel' with the actual quantity issued. Pre-
planned issues are handled the same way except that cards are issued
directly to the stores, possibly grouped by departments for ease in delivery.
All issue cards are stamped to prevent reuse. Cost distribution can be
done by the Spectra 70 Processor.
• Tool control consists of the control and issue of expendable tools and
the maintenance and control of non-expendable tools, jigs, and fixtures.
Expendable tools are issued using the employee badge and a prepunched
card or badge identifying the item from the tool room file together with
the quantity issued. Non-expendable tools are requisitioned exactly like
stores issues except that the requesting document could be used to record
its return. Tool inventory control and maintenance can be computer
scheduled.
• Job lot inspection is characterized by the receipt at an inspection point
of a discrete group of items. It is very similar to purchaS'ed materials
inspection and can be handled in a similar manner.
• This type of inspection is characterized by a repetitive operation that
is performed on each item as it moves past a fixed point. EitheI' every
item is inspected
01'
a periodic sample measurement is taken. Both types
involve the use of statistical rules to ascertain when production readjust-
ment should occur. The direct digital readout capability can be used to
provide direct input into the computer.
