This screen is displayed if the production entered in the Production screen causes the tool to exceed its expected tool life. The screen displays a list of all the tools that have exceeded their Expected Tool Life. A textbox is provided for Remarks to be entered by the supervisor.
Tool Code and Tool Description display the Tool code and its description for the tools that are nearing their expected tool life.
Expected Qty column displays the Expected Tool Life as entered for the Tool Type and its particular Reground Serial No. in the Model Tool Link screen.
Current Balance Life is the amount, which can be produced by the Tool, so that its total production is equal to its expected tool life. Current Balance Life is calculated on the basis of the percentage balance life of the Tool. Percentage Balance Life is the quantity that can be produced by the tool after some production has been done. For e.g. if expected tool life of a tool is 1000 and 250 has been produced by the Tool, then its Percentage Balance Life is 75%, which means that 75% of its expected tool life can be produced by the Tool.
Percentage balance life = (100 – ((100 * Total Production) / Expected Tool Life from Model Tool Link))
Current Balance Life = (Expected Qty from Model Tool Link * Percentage Balance Life)/100
If a tool has been used in more than one model, then the Current Balance Life denotes the quantity that can be produced by that tool for the selected Model and Machine, based on its Expected Tool Life and Percentage Balance Life.
Produced Qty is the total amount that has been produced by the Tool Code for the Model and Machine.
