Input/Output Report
The Input/Output Report is one of the primary tools for monitoring the load at work centers and finding bottlenecks. It lets a manager compare planned input and output at a work center with actual input and output, by time period. These reports calculate planned input and output from the work order operations based on their start dates, standard setup and run times, and the shop/work center calendar. Actual input and output are obtained from the operation history transactions. The quantities moved to a work center are used to determine input and the quantities completed at a work center to determine output.
You can display planned and actual input and output in daily, weekly, or monthly periods.
Planned Input
Planned input is load on a work center or machine expressed as work order operations scheduled to start in a reporting period, determined with the following calculations:
Standard Setup + (Standard Run X Quantity Ordered)
Actual Input
Actual Input is load that has been moved to the first and subsequent order operations. It is calculated for a reporting period based on move transactions entered using work order release and shop floor control functions using the following calculation:
Standard Setup + (Standard Run X Quantity Moved)
Planned Output
Planned output is load calculated based on order operations scheduled to be completed in a reporting period using the following calculation:
Standard Setup + (Standard Run X Quantity Ordered)
Actual Output
Actual output is load calculated for a reporting period based on operation quantity completed transactions for work orders and repetitive schedules. You can report completed quantities for order operations using labor feedback transactions in the Shop Floor Control.
Actual output is determined using the following calculation:
Actual Setup + (Standard Run X Quantity Completed)
Planned Queue
The difference between planned input and planned output
Actual Queue
The difference between actual input and actual output
