Traveler Capabilities
wiptrac is driven by a Traveler based, factory organizational strategy. Product moves through your factory under the direction of barcoded travelers created and printed with wiptrac. Flexibility is built in with alternate, optional, and forced out of sequence operations. Traveler maintenance and revisions are under the control of  wiptrac configuration management.

WIP Capabilities
wiptrac has extensive WIP tracking and reporting features showing WIP items like moved, good out, rejects out, rework, transferred to rework and much more. The reporting system for WIP data is completely customizable allowing you to slice and dice your WIP data in unlimited ways across unlimited numbers of parts. All of it is exportable to spreadsheets.

SPC and SQC Capabilities
SPC becomes a real part of factory management as wiptrac collects, analyzes, monitors, generates warnings and even shuts down LOTS, Operations or Equipment based on incoming SPC data. The paper blizzard associated with engineering data collection is over when you use wiptrac to handle the information.

Scheduling Capabilities
Using a Work Calendar, and Work Content on Travelers, wiptrac predicts a ship date when a lot is kitted to the line and then constantly updates the predicted date while letting you know just how much ahead or behind the lot is running. Special on-line reports give Operators a quick look at what is in their que at their workstation and from this list they can choose the hottest lots currently on the line to work on next.

Electronic Quarantine Features
There are 5 levels of hold available within wiptrac for MRB or any other purpose you might wish the system to stop work.

> Lot Number on Hold
> Part Number on Hold
> Operation on Hold
> Future Hold (Put a Lot on Hold when it reaches some future step.)
> Equipment on Hold and/or Down

LOT Number Hold, Operation Hold and Equipment Hold can be configured to trigger automatically if SPC data goes out of Control.

ISO 9000 Configuration Management Features
ISO 9000 compliance is supported via wiptrac complete configuration management system, modeled after similar paper systems. Operations, Parts and Part Numbers, Travelers and Traveler Numbers, etc. cannot be used by wiptrac until they have been released. For example, once a new traveler has been sent around and signed off, configuration management personnel with the right wiptrac security level and system password will release the traveler for use by wiptrac factory floor operators.

Bar Code Enabled
wiptrac was designed from the ground up to be bar code driven. wiptrac generates bar code labels for you on HP compatible laser printers, using any desired format, readable by a myriad of different bar code wedges and readers.

Information On Your Desktop
This happens without your having to collect it or ask for it. Now you have up to date information about factory floor loading, process centers that are in trouble and product movement through the work centers. You no longer have to rely on others to provide you with the information you need to focus your companies resources effectively. You can clearly see for yourself what the picture is. Everyone shares the same information.

Information on the Desktops of Your Managers and Engineers
These are people who need the information to make hands on decisions on a minute by minute basis. They now have real-time information about the problems at their work centers. They can see reject rates, inventory levels, cycle time problems, equipment problems, ALL FROM THEIR DESK.

On-line Manufacturing Specifications and Drawings
It will bring current and up to date specifications and drawings onto the factory floor in an on-line mode for use by factory personnel. No longer need you fear auditing agencies. You will always have the most current information available on the floor.

Real-time Control of Your Factory
It will bring control to your factory, managing process flow and sequence, preventing out of specification processing, controlling employee qualification status by process, controlling equipment up/down status, thereby preventing use of out of calibration equipment. No longer will you hear, "it just happened", because overriding system controls takes a password.

Increased Throughput and Yields
Factory throughput is increased in many different ways. First, visual inventory screens help you identify the bottlenecks in your factory. If process yield issues are a problem, then SPC data is available to help with a solution. If the problem is an equipment downtime issue, then data is available to help solve that issue. If the problems are cycle time related the system holds data to help address that issue as well. If data collection is a time consuming part of your process, then bar code data entry will reduce data input time as well.
