Deviation Definition

kelly-degobbi

For some time now we have always pondered on the true definition and use of deviation within labor entry. In our environment when the part is punched and there are several parts remaining we deviate those. Roter calls for 100 and we punch 105. So we put in the 100 and deviate the 5. What I am also wondering if the costs for running the additional part calculated within the router?

We have similar questions with part deviations. It appears that Visual does not calculate the true cost of deviated parts (we call this "scrap"). We claim our scrap at each operation and then adjust them in and back out so that we have a true cost of scrap in our financial report. The problem with that is scrap is now the full cost of a finished part - regardless of what operation it was scrapped out in.

Does anyone have a better method for calculating scrap/part deviation cost?
