Definition of Rework

Definition of rework:

The work performed to correct defects in a product after it has been manufactured

UseExecute additional operations

during or at end of a production process

in order to improve components or products with insufficient quality

These additional processing steps are referred to as rework

© SAP 2007 / Page 7

Rework: Actions & Elements

Actions:Identify cause for rework

Inform affected parties (shift leader, production supervisor, plant manager)

Define appropriate additional process steps

Execute additional process steps (rework)

Check success of rework

Repeat additional process steps

Stop reworking

Insert reworked items into production process again

Alert message

Elements:

Rework-Demo: Challenges

Challenges:Trigger rework actions during processing of PI Sheets/Work Instructions

„First click“

Select appropriate rework actions

„Second click“

Inform production supervisor/plant manager per email

Process rework actions

Rework-Demo: Solution for Challenges

Solution:Standard XStep Composite for Rework

Dynamic function call

– Offers Standard Xsteps as rework actions

– Automatically creates XStep tree for rework

– Automatically generates corresponding control instruction/recipe

Process message for rework alert

– Automatically send alert email

– Provide information about the rework process (manufacturing order, time & date, user etc.)

Agenda

Shift Note Functionality for PI Sheetsor Electronic Work Instructions

Definition:

Shift notes are short comments concerning events that can‘t be recorded differently likeconfirmations or maintenance notifications. Examples:

Worker arrived lateComments (e. g. activated pump, started MES system)Material exchange

Ways to Create Shift Notes

Options to create shift notes for PI Sheets/electronic Work InstructionsDynamic function callProcess Message (new category)

Alternative Idea, shown on the next slides:Create shift notes by creating comments for operations or phases

Create additional process message destinationCreate function module that creates shift notesEnhance process message category PI_COMM

Prerequisites:Business function for shift note activeShift note customizing maintainedShift note type assigned to work center/resourceWork center maintained for operation/phase

Shift Note: New Message Destination ZSN

Function module

Shift Note: Adopt PI_COMM

Shift Note: Creating Comment

Comment created for operation 10

Work center WE_1310 assigned toShift note type SN

Work center WE_1310 maintainedfor operation 10

Shift Note: Process Message Handling

Shift Note (TC SHN3)

Added text lines(operation, user)

Information aboutmessage proces-sing (batch job,send date/time)

Appendix

SAP Enhancement Package (EHP) - General

Technical basis: SAP ECC 6.00 (ERP 2005) -> „stable core“

Implementation of EHP doesn‘t change the system behaviour

Activation of new functionality by switching on corresponding business function

Business Functions do have detailed documentation

Business Functions have test cases that are shipped also

Adaptivness („Fine tuning“) via Customizing

Please note:

„Deactivation of an activated business function not possible“

Example: Enterprise Business Function(transaction SPRO)
