Angus

Excess material poured into molds that is not included in the finished output product.


Cavity

The hollow in the mold into which material is poured for creating a product.


Client

An organization that is using Matics.


Customer

The client's customer.


CT

Cycle time.


Downtime

Any time a machine was scheduled to work, but did not (unplanned lost production time).


Final product

A product that is complete when manufactured. It can be a product that has no other parts, or it can be the final production phase of an assembled product, which includes more than one part.


Good units

The system automatically subtracts the count of Rejects from the count of Total units produced to present the value of Good units.


Idle time

The time that a machine did not work when it wasn't scheduled to work anyway (production time lost by design).


Josh

The part of the job that was worked on during a specific shift (the term is the blend of Job + Shift ). Read more here.


Rejects

The count of rejected units per manual reporting of rejects and the auto-count of rejects by a machine's reject sensor (applicable to machines equipped with reject sensors).


Set point

The ideal target value set for recipes' (product and job) channel 0 basic parameters. The recipe's set point value for cycle time serves as the basis of calculations for the Cycle Time Efficiency and Unit in Cycle Efficiency KPIs.


Setup

Time spent setting up operations in-between production runs. (See also Setup Time)


Standard

The values set for recipes' (product and job) basic parameters. A standard is the entire range of that parameter, determined by the set point and its lower and upper limits. When production is within these limits, it's on track an no errors or alerts will be triggered.


Structure

The arrangement of parameters included in a machine tile's rows and cells.


Total units produced

How many units were produced per the machine's counter. This count includes rejects.


Units reported OK

The count based on manual reporting of produced units (via the Report Production action).


Unreported rejects (rejects not reported, non-reported rejects)

The system automatically subtracts (Rejects + Units reported OK) from Total units produced to present the value of Unreported rejects.

Since these units were not identified as being okay ('Units reported OK'), the assumption is that they are rejects that were neither reported manually nor identified by the machine's reject sensor.
