!!!WORK AREAS A Work Area is a subdivision of a work division where work is performed, such as a production line, process, product, cost center, floor, ward or department. A work area is managed by a supervisor, inspector, facilitator, pitboss or foreperson who may be responsible for more than one work area. A work area is generally subdivided into work stations based on activities, machinery, equipment or processes. Quite often, a work area consists of a single work station. The definition data for the Define Work Areas screen is stored in the [P2K_TS_WORK_AREAS] table. ;[Work Area|WORK_AREA_CODE]:This field displays a user-defined code that uniquely identifies the work area. Work area codes must be unique within a work division. e.g. FIRE STN 1 or OFFICE 10 Work_Area_Code is a 10-character alphanumeric field you must manually enter. ;[Standing|STANDING]: This field is used to indicate whether the record is `active', `frozen' or `obsolete'. Standing is an optional field which you may fill from the fixed lexicon [X_STANDING]. ;[Work Division|WORK_DIVISION_CODE]:This field identifies the work division that the work area is a part of. e.g. FIRE DEPT or MAIN BLDG Work_Division_Code from [P2K_TS_WORK_DIVISIONS] is a mandatory field you must fill through the LOV. ;[Entity|ENTITY_CODE]:This field identifies the entity the work area is associated with. You cannot edit the field from this screen. This information will default once the work division has been selected ---- !!Details tab ;[Description|DESCRIPTION]: This field provides a short description of the work area. Description is a 50-character alphanumeric optional field you may manually enter. ;[Work Area Status|WORK_AREA_STATUS]: Status is used to indicate whether an area is active at a SPECIFIC point in time, which is different from the standing of an area. For example, while a lifeguard station may have ongoing active standing (not obsolete or frozen), the station may only be active 9 months of the year. For remaining three months of the year, the area's status is non-active. Work Area Status is a mandatory field which you must complete with a value from the fixed lexicon [X_WORK_AREA_STATUS] ;[Work Area Type|WORK_AREA_TYPE]:The `Work Area Type' field allows the user to categorize work areas. e.g. department, production line, cost centre, station, etc. Work_Area_Type is an optional field which you may complete with a value from the user-defined lexicon [X_WORK_AREA_TYPE]. ;[Manager|??]: This field holds the person code of the employee who manages this area. ---- !!Stations The ‘Stations’ tab provides a list of the associated workstations. This tab will be blank until a workstation is created for the work area. %%information Work Stations tab is for VIEWING ONLY.%%
