Que pasó con este buffer en el circulo rojo?

Hubo un OSP promotion por parte del PCS. OSP promotion es cuando se extendió el tiempo en AF o para modificar el nuevo HC para el segundo turno (quater) que normalmente nos lo envía el POC 60 minutos antes

What happens when buffer is above target or overflow

Overloaded Tote Router (jams on conveyors).

What should we do when buffers are too high?

Open TSO-Fracs; adjust pickers; labor moves; Apply pick Throttel (PT); Apply Min99 for AFE PPs when FIFO is lost

What is PT?

Pick Throttle: stops all ARs pick. with PG approval

FIFO

FIRST IN FIRST OUT

How can you turn on PT?

In Autoflow at the bottom part, we click “on”. It stops all process paths

Min 99

Is to stop AFE manually at PC. Just stops Afe path process. Solo lo que ya está despues del inductor es lo que continua fluyendo hacia el rebin

When to apply PT?

When WIP or Buffer is above +20%. Above grey line on TOTAL. TSO Maxed out. No more than 10 mins.

Which are the conditions on Pickingpicked?

RODEO

Relatime Outbound Demand Observer - to monitor customers shipment within the fc by process path, work pool, TSO or VRET

Vendor Returns

Picking not yet picked

units which are assign to be pick by Euler but are not picked yet

EULER

Picking priorization system. Is in charge of the recomendation and priorization of units at RODEO (Picking not yet picked)

Picking not yet pricked - prioritized

units prioritized by euler that will be pick in the next 15 mns

Picking not yet picked - non prioritized

units which will be pick depending on the pick capacity and HC

Min 10 priority

To see the Reactive units of TSO

TSO Reactive

Units to be sent to other fc beacuse of demand -tied by customer order

TSO Proactive

Units to be sent to other FC without a customer order but due to high demand of the product

Picking not yet picked non pickable

Units which cannot be picked because of some sort of problem

Multis family

Are 2+ units ordered by a customer on the same shipment: AFE and P2R

PPAFE

Process Path Amazon Fullfilment Engine: this are 2+ units which are process for a customer. since the units can be at different floors within a FC, they are picked and sent in different totes to be sorted out in traits by a "Inductor", then, go to a rebin wall to further be packed.

Which are PPAFE process?

Picking not yet picked; Picking Picked, Inducted, Sorted (rebin), Packing, Scanned

Inducted or Inductor

This is for PPAFE, and the units need to be divided into different traits, which is done by an Inductor

Sorted

This is a PPAFE process in which a trait is assigned to a rebiner, and the rebiner starts putting different units into the wall boxes called rebin, when they finish sorting a ship they push it, and then the packer, which is on the other side of the wall, Starts packing.

AFE 2.0

1 rebiner; 2.5 packers

AFE 3.0

1 rebiner - 4.5 packers

Picking picked in transit

The units are traveling on the conveyor

Picking picked Routing

touted to their final destination depending on PP

Picking Picked at destination

for PPsingles they are at packing, but for PPAFE they have not being inducted or sorted yet

Which risk if: NND -70% and FCSTD -95%

Risk level 0. No action required. Checked each hour

If risk NND +70% and FCSTD -95%

Risk level 1. Inform POC, and keep an eye on evolution

Singles Family types

singlemedium; single slam; single no slam

If risk NND -70 and +95% FCSTD

Risk level 2: Request POC to plan support to reduce risk below 85%

If risk NND +70 and +95% FCSTD

Risk level 3: Moves are require at this point. Reduce FCSTD to 85%

CORA

Risk management tool, where it automatically sets TRB by family. If the TRB is set before fast track SLA 45 mins=no dely in CE

CATAN

Risk tool used when we are at risk level 2 or 3, and tells us how can mitigate it, usually by redistributing AA on other process whom had a OB crosstraining.

Sources where you can see the past, current, or future planned buffers

AF (current); SERA )for handover so the ;

Kipp

Is a calculator in which you estimate how to balance the buffer

SERA

Shift Execution Report Analyzer. We use it to do handover and to check the pass shift information.
