Using the Work Center PODs

You have set up Work Center PODs in POD Maintenance (see Setting Up Operation and Work Center PODs).
You have set up necessary data in List Maintenance.

In the POD Selection area, fill out at least one of the following fields to find the SFC numbers you need to work on:
- User
  Retrieves SFC numbers that have been specifically assigned by a supervisor only
- Work Center
  Retrieves SFC numbers assigned to a specific work center
- End Unit Number
  Retrieves SFC numbers by the end unit number
Retrieve the data. The POD displays information about the SFC number in the POD Work List (see POD Work List).
Select the SFC number you need to work on from the POD Work List. The POD displays the routing steps belonging to the selected SFC number in the Operation List (see Operation List).
Choose one or more routing steps from the Operation List to start working on an SFC number.
Choose Start either to indicate that you have started working on an SFC number or to join other users working on an SFC number at the same operation.

Note
If you want to join other users working on an SFC number at the same operation the IGNORE_NOT_INQUEUE rule for the Start activity must be set to YES otherwise you can only labor on the SFC number (see Start).

End of the note.
If required, repeat steps 5-6 for all SFC numbers you have started working on.
As you work on SFC numbers, select them from the POD Work List, and record your work by choosing the functional buttons (see POD Button Activities).
