Scanning Jobsheets and Labels for status changes

BUZ utilizes Handheld scanners to change quickly and efficiently change the status of a product in the production area (Job Tracking) and Dispatch area.

Scanning is a good way to speed up the process as you can easily transition the status for an order.

You still need a computer for this to work and the user will need to be logged in at the Job Tracking or Dispatch Tracking page

Here are a few scenarios that you might find useful to utilize a scanner

Scenario 1 - Job Tracking

Production manager receives or prints out all the jobsheet's for the day, before sending the jobsheets out to the production line, the production manager would scan all the sheets and change the Status to “Production commenced”.

Once the production line staff have received the paperwork they can scan the job sheet or label/s to inform BUZ that they have commenced work, once they have finished, they would scan the paperwork to sat that they have finished their part of the process.

Example of a product status change sheet

Scenario 2 - Dispatch

Office manager Prints out all the jobs, checks their locations and sorts them accordingly, scans the jobs to change the status from unconfirmed to Date confirmed.

The jobs for the day are then allocated to the Production team

Scenario 3 - Dispatch

The product has been completed and the warehouse are ready to send it, Dispatcher has allocated the jobs to an installer, the installer would check the products against the run sheet and scan all the jobs into the van/truck

Considerations

The main consideration that you need to take when buying a hand scanner is to ensure that it can read Interleave 2 of 5 also known as I2of5, this is a programming language for the type of barcode.
