The Waste Module is designed to allow you to record where waste is being generated in a manufacturing environment and then report on it so that you can easily determine which areas might benefit from improvement.
This module is part of Commander4j version 8.02 or newer and some example data has been included to illustrate how it can be configured. By default, the Waste module/options will be assigned to a new user group called WASTE. If you don't see these options when you logon to Commander4j you will need to be added to this group and then logon again.
In order to understand the demo data, you should review the diagram below. This diagram represents a totally fictitious factory so don't worry if it does not make any kind of sense from a manufacturing perspective.
The first thing you should notice is that some physical waste recording points have been marked. These physical locations have been defined within the database and will subsequently be linked/grouped to logical reporting id's.
These physical locations are recorded in the Waste Locations screen which you can see below.
When you define a location you can specify which types of waste can be recorded in this location. You may for example have a bin which is for putting only recyclable cardboard in. You can also indicate if the operator must record the Process Order and / or the Reason why there was waste in this location.
