4.13.1.1 Job General Settings
The “General” job settings page (see Figure 4.35) has the following settings:
Job Number: The job number for this job. This corresponds to the job storage number on the actual
machine. The settings (standard rates, setup times, etc.) for this job will be used when this job number is
used on the actual machine.
Job Description: The job description will show up in job lists and reports.
Internal Part Number: The internal part number to be produced by this job. Note that when this item
is selected it will bring in the material number assigned in part configuration as a default. If for some
reason the job on this particular machine uses a different material, the default can be changed as
appropriate.
Internal Material Number: Set this to the material typically used to make this part with this job. Note
that when the part was selected, a default value configured with the part would be set. This dafualt can
be changed if a different material is used with this job.
Job Standard Average SPM: Set this to the overall average SPM expected to be made with this job.
This counts setup, teardown, bin change, and any other stoppages that typically occur. The actual
performance of this job, when run, will be compared to this value and an efficiency measurement will be
calculated to show how the job performed versus the standard.
Job Standard Production SPM: This value is intended to be set at the stroking rate of the press when
running this job. This excludes setup, teardown, bin change, and any other stoppages that typically
occur. The actual performance of this job, when run, will be compared to this value and an efficiency
measurement will be calculated to show how the job performed versus the standard. This is primarily
intended to verify that the job is being run at the proper stroking rate as determined by supervisory
personnel. If the job is run slower than possible, money is lost by not utilizing the process at optimum
speed. On the other hand, running the job faster than the process can tolerate may lead to excessive
down time and bad parts.
Job Maximum SPM: The maximum SPM that this job should ever be run at due to process limitations
such as forming limits in the die or press and feed speed limitations.
Parts Per Stroke: The number of parts produced per stroke of the press. Note that this value could be
less than one if, for instance, it takes two strokes to make one part. In this case, the value would be set
to 0.5.
Approx. Parts Per Bin: The approximate number parts that fit in a standard bin used with this job. This
will be used in the future to estimate total job time by taking into account the number of bin changes that
will be required for a run of parts.
Default Quantity: When configuring a run of parts, the default quantity will be used as a default value
for the number of parts to be produced. It can, of course, be overridden.
