Hi:
I have a customer that currently print the production routers (there are
many different production steps and not all parts get all steps), production
tracers, and control charts in multiple reports. With a change in personnel
they would like to have the multiple reports come out as one packet for each
part produced.
The challenges are:
1) Valid productions steps get printed with part specific information
one a page.
2) A tracer tag gets printed with all the valid production steps for
this part. There is one tag for the number of containers to be produced.
3) There is a control chart that prints that contains the high and low
limits, and scrap limits for their X&R charting. The numbers of charts that
print are determined by the dimension, frequency for charting, and the
number being produced. This report prints on legal paper.
4) The combining of these reports could result in runs of over 1000
pages. Would memory be a factor? The control charts process has a lot of
code because the dimensions can be weight in grams (up to 999) or the limits
of a grove (0.0001).
5) Can VPE do a double nested report, change the number of pages that
print for each nesting, and change paper size when needed?
6) Any suggestions?
Thanks
