2022 Quest INFOCUS Webinar “Michelman Case Study: Digital Work Order/Transitioning from Standard JDE Scanning Solutions for Manufacturing”

Michelman Case-Study Demonstration/Review of the Digital Work Order Project

Trisha Muir, Michelman Dir. of ERP, long realized status quo work order processes had to be improved. One primary reason was the need to improve the visibility to the necessary PPE, hazards, and process instructions before starting to manufacture a batch and capturing the acknowledgment from the operator. Michelman was able to add validations within the process to minimize waste and failed batches resulting in cost savings.

Sustainability is one of Michelman’s core values; digitizing the paperwork order helps them to achieve their goal of reducing the use of paper globally. Deployment is based on work center Zebra tablets with bar-coding OCR embedded. Functionality includes full Work Order Edit of:

• Parts Lists
• Process Instructions
• Quality Tests with improved automation of Machine/Labor hours
• Quality test data

Other functional elements include Audit, Inventory Look-up, Inventory Transfer, enhanced Media Object Integration, and the ability to store “Comments” and “Versioning” of Media Object revisions.

The demo review will show User Role setup/permissions for Chemists, Quality, Operators, and supervisors with dashboards associated with each role. Trisha will also review Michelman’s business case.

Objectives:

• Learn how you can use the EASYProcess to create custom apps that can be used to replace traditional mobile scanning solutions, create custom desktop screens with embedded workflows to control master data, or create Customer/Supplier Onboarding Portals that integrate directly with JDE.
• Learn how Michelman automated several manual processes within Quality while giving more visibility into test results and creating several workflows based on the test results.

Michelman will share their journey towards automation which includes starting business processes with OCR and direct updates into JDE. Enhance your company’s UI without losing any JDE functionality!
