WO-E  Print Labor Cards/Labels

Purpose of Program

Use this program to print either 3 x 5 labor cards or 1?x 3-1/2?adhesive labels for each labor sequence (operation).  Labor cards or tickets are used as documents to help capture daily labor for reporting in WO-F  Enter Labor or WO-M  Batch Labor Entry.

Labor cards or labels are normally included with the shop traveler and a drawing in a shop packet.  Many people enclose these documents in a clear plastic jacket.

Each sequence is printed on a separate card or label.  The worker is given a card or label upon starting an operation.  The start and stop times are either written in or punched on a time clock, and the number of pieces produced are recorded.

Cards and labels are gathered each day and are entered through WO-F  Enter Labor or WO-M  Batch Labor Entry either at the end of the day or first thing the next morning.  Through this process work order status and job costing are updated in a timely fashion.

Labor cards are designed to print on 3-1/2?x 6?cards (Avery SKU #4167).

General Program Operation

You may select a from/thru range of work orders by typing in the work order numbers or by selecting work orders from a pop-up window by pressing the F2 key (or clicking on the Lookup button).

If you wish to print cards or labels for all work orders with a common prefix number (the first six digits to the left of the "-") you only need to enter the prefix number in the from/thru range and all work orders with that prefix will be selected.

Next, indicate whether you want labor cards or adhesive labels.  If you want labor cards, enter an "L".  If you want adhesive labels, enter an "A". Indicate the number of cards or labels you want per operation.

It is common to print more cards/labels than are actually needed so as not to run short out on the factory floor.
