User Roles

The following table describes the applications included in the Plant Applications Web Client.
Table 1. Configuration-related Applications
Application Description
Route Editor Create routes and define the product line, material, BOM formulation, operations, BOM items, equipment, documents, and properties used in each route.
Security Add groups to an application, provide access to an application for users to access the application, and remove access to a privilege sets.
Property Definition Create the property definitions, and then link these properties to a specific property group and property category.
Configuration Perform the following tasks in the Unit Operations and Work Queue applications:
  • Show or hide the tabs.
  • Add and configure custom tabs.
  • Integrate external applications and services.
Approval Cockpit Configure, execute, and track approval workflows for action events.
BOM Editor Create and maintain BOM formulations.
Table 2. Execution-related Applications
Application Description
Work Queue View a list of operations in their work queue, add additional operations, clock on the operations, perform the operations, specify the consumption of BOM items, provide data for quality variables, and mark the operations complete. Operators can also create a defect if a part is defective, which appears in Non Conformance.
Note: While the Unit Operations application provides a list of serials/lots on which you can perform an operation using a selected piece of equipment, the Work Queue module provides a list of operations that are available for you to work on (regardless of the piece of equipment required to perform the operation).
Unit Operations Clock on the operations, perform the operations, specify the consumption of BOM items, provide data for quality variables, and mark the operations complete. Operators can also create a defect if a part is defective, which appears in Non Conformance.
Note: While the Unit Operations application provides a list of serial numbers on which you can perform an operation using a selected piece of equipment, the Work Queue module provides a list of operations that are available for you to work on (regardless of the piece of equipment required to perform the operation).
Time Booking View labor records (timesheet), add missing time records, and modify the applied time of a previously submitted record.
Activities Perform, complete, release, and skip an activity associated with an event.
Downtime Add, modify, copy, delete, split, and merge downtime events for the selected machines.
Alarms Receive alarm notifications based on rules configured in Plant Applications Administrator.
My Machines Select the required machines, from the assigned machines, for which they want to view the downtime events.
Process Orders Monitor the progress of the process orders, and specify the consumption of BOM items.
Waste Create records for a waste event and associate it with a production event.
Receiving Inspection Receive material lots from an ERP application, perform an inspection on the material lot samples, and submit the inspection results. If a serial/lot is defective, a non-conformance can be created and disposed before submitting the inspection results.
Table 3. Management-related Applications
Application Description
Non-Conformance Access the record of non-conformities raised as defects on serial numbers or material lots and decide the disposition plan for a defect.
Work Order Manager Monitor the status and progress of work orders and manage the priority of a work order if required.
Time Booking View labor records (timesheet), add missing time records, and modify the applied time of a previously submitted record.
OEE Dashboard and Reports Enhance the capability of Plant Applications data to monitor quality, performance, availability, and overall equipment effectiveness of plant equipment.
Analysis Analyze time series data and live issues, and to quickly troubleshoot issues and make improvements. Process engineers can also analyze the production batches and golden batches information.
Genealogy Trace or track the real-time details of any serial/lot.
