Overview

Installer Types

There are 4 types of "Installer":

  1. The fitter that installs the product.
  2. All Installers, this is for exceptions that apply to all dispatch methods, such as public holidays, to save having to enter to individual Installers.
  3. Delivery methods such as couriers or if the installer is also delivers DIY product.
  4. Factory/Showroom pickups by the customer.

Installer Setup

For each "Installer" enter:

  • Contact details
  • Code/ Abbreviation
  • Sequence number so that they are listed in a logical order and grouped rather than alphabetically.

  • The Supplier Code if Contractor dropdown field lists Suppliers added through Supplier Maintenance.  The Supplier selected will have invoices for fitting fees attached for payment through the Suppliers module.  For employees leave blank.

  • Estimated Time Between Jobs, in minutes, is used when calculating capacity for a day.

  • Is a pickup location? This is for factory or showroom location for pickups by the customer. NOTE: If this is selected it will override the "Install" installer and then becomes a pick up location
  • Does deliveries or is a courier? This is for delivery methods such as couriers (one per courier) or if the installer is also used to deliver driver. NOTE: If this is selected it will override the "Install" installer and then becomes a delivery driver/courier

  • For each day of the week:
    • Number of minutes work at standard time that can be carried out on the day by this installer. 480 minutes = 8 hours x 60 minutes
    • Comment to signify in diary "only works 8 to 12"
    • Does this dispatch Method/ Installer pickup on this day of the week? If pick up is not everyday then this signifies that all installs until the next Pick up have to be picked up on that day. This effects Workflow Timing of production scheduling. Example is pickups on Friday morning for installs on Friday and Saturday.
  • Skills is a list all Inventory Groups and is used to indicate which items this installer can install.
  • Deactivate / Activate indicates immediate change in availability. This does not make any changes to existing allocations so schedule needs to be checked and reallocated if necessary.




Calculating install minutes

Install minutes are calculating using multiple areas/fields

  1. Inventory group (if this is a minus BUZ will not include these minutes)
  2. Inventory items (extra install minutes example: this miht be brick fit, or extra isntall time on motorisation etc)
  3. Estimated time between jobs
