Request Parts
Create a Kit to Request Parts to be delivered to a Location
This guide outlines the steps for productin teams, planners, technicians, and manufacturing engineers to request a kit from inventory, ensuring efficient and accurate part delivery.
Step 1: Start the Kit Request 0:00
Begin by accessing the kit request system.
Identify your role (technician, manufacturing engineer, or production supervisor).
Step 2: Fill Out Kit Details 0:30
Assign the request to yourself if it's a work in progress.
Specify the delivery location (e.g., line site location).
Include any additional information such as tracking numbers.
Step 3: Request Parts 1:09
Scroll down to the 'Request Parts' section.
Choose to request a single part or multiple parts by entering the desired quantity.
Step 4: Review Inventory Information 1:50
Check the total available quantity in the warehouse.
Verify the quantity already delivered to the line site.
Note the quantity on order and the earliest ETA for that inventory.
Step 5: Select Parts from M-bomb 2:24
If applicable, select an M-bomb to populate part level attributes.
Review the original M-bomb quantity and request additional parts as needed.
Step 6: Manage Requested Parts 3:00
If necessary, remove any parts from the kit that are not needed.
Step 7: Assess Inventory Availability 3:35
Ensure there is available inventory for the requested parts.
If no inventory is available, consider holding the kit request until inventory arrives or create a partial kit.
Step 8: Split Kit if Needed 4:06
If creating a partial kit, split off parts that are not ready for delivery.
Step 9: Pre-Allocate Parts (if necessary) 4:23
Review recommended parts for kitting based on FIFO (first-in, first-out).
Override automatic selections if specific parts need to be chosen.
Step 10: Submit the Kit Request 5:12
Submit the completed kit request.
Optionally, assign the request to a material handler for processing.
Cautionary Notes
Ensure that all required fields are filled out accurately to avoid delays in processing.
Do not submit a kit request if there is no available inventory unless you are creating a partial kit.
Tips for Efficiency
Regularly check inventory levels to anticipate part shortages.
Familiarize yourself with the M-bomb system to streamline part selection.
Communicate with the inventory team to clarify any uncertainties regarding part availability.
