  6. What is an MIS • Software TLAs: • MIS: Management Information System • ERP: Enterprise Resource Planning • MES: Manufacturing Execution System • … • Print MIS systems are all of the above • Specific for Print • Also provides information to management

  7. What is an MIS • MIS is (possibly) the wrong term • MIS is a Role not always a single system • Main tasks: • Created Quotations to customers • Handles Customer Order Entry • Creates Production Jobs and Job Tickets • Does Production Scheduling • Handles Material Logistics (stock and purchasing) • Does Job Tracking and Job Costing • Includes Invoicing (Billing) and Accounting

  8. MIS and JDF/JMF

  9. MIS and JDF • MIS gets customer view of job (Intent) • MIS converts Intent to Process by doing job planning, estimating and scheduling • MIS creates the initial JDF ticket (Process) • MIS submits JDF ticket to production • MIS receives JMF for job tracking • MIS receives JDF back after completion • MIS submits JDF to next step in production

  10. Intent to Process conversion • Customer’s view of job is description of “what” to produce not “how” to produce • MIS needs to convert the “what” (Intent) into the the “how” (Process) • For some Processes MIS can create full Process definition (all Resources) • For many other Processes MIS does nothave enough technical detail / knowledge • Solution: Gray Boxes

  11. Gray Boxes • For many Processes the MIS does not know: • The exact Processes required • The exact order of the Processes • The parameters of all Processes • Examples: • Pre-Press: Screening angles, Trapping params • Result: MIS cannot create valid JDF

  12. Gray Boxes • Solution (in simple words): • The MIS writes in the JDF what it knows = the Gray Box • The production system add what it needs = Expanding the Gray Box • By operator input or applying defaults • The production system informs the MIS what it has done • Using JMF Signals of type NewJDF

  13. Gray Box - Life Cycle MIS Uses GB as legoblocks Fill in (limited) parameters it knows Gray box expander Expands the gray boxes to sequences of real processes • Filling in missing parameters • from default values • by Operator Calls external programs with UI to add some parameters (e.g. RunList, Imposition) Prepress Processes Executes the processes Reports back status

  14. Gray Box • How to detect s Gray Box • From JDF 1.3 - 3.1.4.1 Use of the Types attribute in ProcessGroup nodes - Gray Boxes: • ProcessGroup nodes may contain an optional Types attribute that allows a controller (e.g. an MIS system) to define a set of processes that must be executed without defining the exact structure or grouping of these processes into individual JDF nodes. ProcessGroup nodes that contain a Types attribute are commonly referred to as Gray Boxes.

  15. Gray Box • A Gray Box is a JDF Process Group with: • JDF/@Category=“...” • JDF/@Types=“...” • Either a real Types list of a special token from JDF 1.2 Table 3-4

  16. Gray Box • JDF/@Category • JDF 1.2 table 3-4 @Category says: • This allows processors to identify the general purpose of a node without parsing the Types field. For instance a RIP for final output and RIP for proof process may have identical Types attribute values but will have Category = “ProofRIPing” or Category = “RIPing” respectively.

  17. Gray Box • @Types • JDF 1.2 table 3-4 @Types says: • The [following] special tokens are defined to allow a JDF-enabled MIS or workflow system to roughly specify finishing, proofing, and RIPing without knowing the details of the respective combined processes. Use these special tokens only for a ProcessGroup and not for a Combined Process.

  18. Gray Box - Example • Example from Pre-Press

  19. MIS Requirements

  20. MIS and JDF/JMF • JDF = Replacement for “Paper job ticket” • JMF and Audits = Replacement for “Shop floor data collection” • Shop floor data collection • Staff time and attendance • Job costing • Work in progress (WIP) • Equipment utilisation statistics

  21. Shop floor data collection • Staff time and attendance • Complete record of staff time (9 to 5) • Job costing • Complete record of actual production cost • Work in progress (WIP) • Complete record of cost of jobs in production • Equipment utilisation statistics • Complete record of machine time • Production and Non-Productive

  22. JMF vs. Audits • Audits are only available for jobs • = Productive time • JMF can be used for job related time • = Productive time • Audits are the only accurate source of data • The reason for JDF snapshots in JMF • JMF only way to record non-job related time • = Non-Productive time

  23. Work In Progress • Value of actual costs on jobs in production • Like value of stock in warehouse • Calculated on Daily, Weekly, Monthly basis • Is used to calculate company’s profitability • Used by accountants and auditors • Must be very accurate • close enough != good enough • The reason for Audit snapshots in JMF!

  24. MIS / Production Interaction • Base+MIS-ICS Level 1 (Job Tickets Only) • Job submission • Returned JDF with Audits • Base+MIS-ICS Level 2 (adds Job Tracking) • JMF Status Signals / JDF Snapshots • Base+MIS-ICS Level 3 (adds Job Costing) • Full Audits in JDF Snapshots and Returned JDF • More detailed Status Signals

  25. MIS / Production Interaction • Not in ICS yet • Change order submission • Scheduling of jobs • On going work in MIS Working Group • Please join working group meetings • Here in Heidelberg: • Wed 26-Jan 9:00 - 12:00, Thu 27-Jan 14:00 - 16:00 • Webex: 2nd and 4th Thursday 16:30 CET

  26. JMF Status Signals • Complete record of device time • Create JMF when: • Device is switched on • Every status change (begin of new phase) • Idle [-> Setup] -> Running [-> Cleanup] -> Idle • Every change of Shift and/or Operator • A “heart beat” for long running jobs • RepeatTime=… in Query / Subscription • (Just before) Device is switched off

  27. JMF Status Signals • JMF - Base-ICS Table 20 • Each JMF Status Signal has a JMF “container” <JMF ID=“…” Version =“1.2” SenderID=“your_sender_controller/device_id” xmlns=“http://www.CIP4.org/JDFSchema_1_1” xmlns:xsi=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XML-Schema-instance” TimeStamp=“yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ssZ”> • “TimeStamp” is UTC date and time of message • Each <JMF> “container” MUST have 1 or more <Signal> nodes (from the same SenderID)

  28. JMF Status Signals • Signal - MIS-ICS Table 29 • Data Collection uses Status Signals <Signal ID=“…” refID=“…” Type=“Status” xsi:type=“SignalStatus” Time=“yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ssZ”> • “refID” is ID of Query that triggered Signal • “xsi:type” allows XML Validation of message • “Time” is UTC date and time of event • Each <Signal> MUST contain 1 or more <DeviceInfo> nodes

  29. JMF Status Signals • DeviceInfo - MIS-ICS Table 30 • One DeviceInfo per Device that is reporting <DeviceInfo DeviceOperationMode=“Productive” DeviceStatus=“Running” StatusDetails=“Good” ProductionCounter=“nnn” Speed=“nnn” TotalProductionCounter=“nnn”> • Indicates the status of the Device • Quantity fields only for quantity aware devices

  30. JMF Status Signals • DeviceInfo - MIS-ICS Table 30 • Each <DeviceInfo> contains: • 1 <Device> node (MUST) • 1 or more <Employee> nodes (conditional MUST) • 0 or more <JobPhase> nodes (conditional MUST)

  31. JMF Status Signals • Device - MIS-ICS Table 31 • Identifies the device <Device DeviceID=“….”/> • “DeviceID” MUST be unique in the print shop’s workflow (across all workflow systems in pre-press, press and post press)

  32. JMF Status Signals • Employee - MIS-ICS Table 32 • Identifies the device operator(s) <Employee PersonalID=“…” Roles=“Operator”/> <Employee PersonalID=“…” Roles=“Assistant”/> • “PersonalID” is the staff code / employee number • “Roles” specifies the task of the operator • “Operator” - Main device operator • “Assistant” - Extra staff assisting the Operator

  33. JMF Status Signals • JobPhase - MIS-ICS Table 33 • Identifies the job(s) in the queue of the device <JobPhase JobID=“…” JobPartID=“…” Status=“InProgress” StatusDetails=“Good” StartTime=“…” PhaseStartTime=“…” TotalAmount=“…” Amount=“nnn” Waste=“…” PhaseAmount=“nnn” PhaseWaste=“…”> • Quantity fields only for quantity aware devices • Each <JobPhase> can contain <JDF> snapshot

  34. JMF Status Signals • JDF snapshot (1) • JMF Signals a “fire and forget” and therefore “unreliable” • There is no guarantee that all Signals arrive at MIS • WIP must be accurate, therefore MIS must get complete job costing information • JDF snapshot is only available mechanism to get accurate costs for jobs that have not yet been returned to MIS

  35. JMF Status Signals • JDF snapshot (2) • Must contain: • Process node that is executing (not complete JDF if non-spawned JDF was received) • Complete AuditPool including Audit for “this JobPhase”
