The Shop floor tracking (SFT) workbench is the main access page for you to track your shop floor activity. This includes clock in and out (if required), going on breaks, recording labor setup and run times, production tracking, elapsed labor, and indirect tasks.

The SFT workbench can also track shop floor activities for Summary and Detailed teams. See Working as a team for more information.

Working as a team

If you the Summary team leader

You can track activities for the team like a single employee using the Summary team Employee ID.

You make all entries in the SFT workbench and follow the same procedures as an individual. This also applies to Defaults, Breaks, Indirect labor, and Elapsed labor that behave as for an individual.

You can update the number of team members on the fly from the Adjust team page without stopping or starting activities. Updating the number of employees for an existing team does not affect unposted activities. All open summary team transactions close and reopen with the new summary team count.

If you are part of a Detailed team

You must clock in and clock out as an individual. You can work on team tasks and on tasks outside the team.

You can work on team tasks if you are:

  • Clocked in
  • Not currently on an exclusive indirect task or a break
  • Not currently on a non-team related task
    • As an individual, you can also track tasks in SFT workbench without leaving the team.
  • You can go on break alone. When you stop your break, you can restart the team labor task to re-join the team activity tracking from the Join team action.
  • You can stop working on (suspend) a team-related task before the rest of the team and start an individual activity.
  • Note: You cannot work on individual tasks if you are still working on a team-related activity. You must stop work on the team-related activity first.

If you clock in using the Detailed team ID

  • You can manage team-related tasks when you log in with the Detailed team Employee ID. When logged in with the Team Employee ID, Defaults, Breaks, Indirect labor, and Elapsed labor behave as for an individual.
  • You can:
      • Start and stop Run and Setup activities for team tasks
      • Enter details when stopping a Run activity for the team such as Completed qty., Rejected qty., and Rejection code
      • Put the entire team on break start/stop
      • Put the entire team on Exclusive indirect activities
