discussed that we will add buttons to Jenny’s screen when she =
bills so that she can validate time studies.Additionally we discussed that the rate at which we produce a =
package needs to be calculated by taking total time on the clock divided =
by total units produced (60 minutes / 48 pieces =3D 1.25 minutes per =
unit).The =
amount of direct labor dollars needs to be calculated by taking people x =
time x labor billing rate (3 people X 1 hour X $19.50 per hour =3D =
$58.50 of direct labor cost for the order). In this example if we =
produced 48 units then our direct labor cost is $1.2187 per unit =
produced and our output is 1.25 units per minute using three =
people.Update =
03/03 – We need to find a way to list the people that are working =
when the manual time sheet is being used instead of the tablet to record =
the time study. This should include employe first and last name and the =
start and finish time for the a-card. Then we need to add a picker to =
the Daily Summary of Labor so that we can enter in to the system who was =
working on the manual time sheets. We need to add the start and end time =
on the manual sheets as well. Aaron needs to do some coding to make this =
happen in the system – will update us on when this is ready to go =
so we can have Tiffany and Jennifer start entering time on manual sheets =
differently.

with the live DB update. We should be able to see a report by next =
meeting.Update =
8/18 – Repack is going live on the update that will allow multiple =
