shop floor data capture - job costing

 

Proteus is one of the few clocking in systems on the market which offers a Shop Floor Data Capture (SFDC) solution as a compliment to its Time and Attendance software. Often referred to as job Costing this is a slight misnomer as Proteus collects information from the shop floor, saves it and presents it in various outputs and mediums for analysis, rarely does this involve the actual costing of jobs. The software has the capacity to extract up to ten pieces of information from each employee, this can be done when clocking on or off the job or a combination of both. Most common requirements are: Job Number, Operation, Cost Centre, Quantity Produced/Scrapped etc. These pieces of information can be entered into Proteus via the clocking point keypad or a bar code scanner, or the terminal can take a reading from a machine or another device (e.g. thermometer, mains meter etc.). Once the data has been captured, Proteus stores the employees swipe along with the data forever. There are a number of standard reports or bespoke reports can be written to present the data how you need it. A popular requirement over the past few years is for the data to be exported into more complex management and costing software to provide a more detailed analysis of your companies workings.

How Proteus Collects Data

The most popular configuration is for each employees to have a T&A badge and a separate Data Capture (DC) badge. Having clocked "in" in the morning the employee then uses his DC card to log onto a job. Depending on how the system is configured he will be prompted for certain information e.g. Job Number and Operation. He may type the job number in at the keypad or scan it in from a job sheet barcode, then enter the operation he is working on likewise. Having logged on the job the employee proceeds to do his work. When he is finished he simply swipes his DC card through the terminal to log off the job. He continues doing this throughout the day to build up a time sheet profile of his working day. At the end of the day he clocks out with his T&A card and goes home. You now have a complete breakdown of his working day, showing how many hours he has been at work for payroll (T&A) purposes and how many hours he has worked on jobs (billable hours).

It is possible to generate reports to look at individuals or groups of employees, showing what jobs they worked on over any given time period. Conversely you can look at individual jobs and see how many hours have been worked on it and by whom. You can instantly get breakdowns of the number of hours worked on different operations within a given job or any other information that has been captured. Because Proteus is a realtime system you will have completely up to date information on your company's workings at your fingertips.
