Querying Material Review Board (MRB) Cases and Printing MRB Reports and
Labels —Key Exercises
| IMPORTANT |
| It is extremely important
that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your
data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will
compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other
students. Predictable exercise results require that your data
be isolated in your own site. |
Main Exercises
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to query Material
Review Board (MRB) cases and print reports and labels for these MRB cases.
Before you can do these exercises however, it is required that you have
completed the following exercises, since they create the data that will be used
in these current exercises:
Creating an MRB Case for an In-Process
Shop Order
Creating an MRB Case during Shop Order
Operation Reporting
Creating an MRB Case for Shop Order Material
These exercises are covered in: Entering and Handling MRB
on Shop Orders - Exercises

MRB Cases
MRB Part Details
MRB Case Report
MRB Label Report
You are the person responsible for coordinating the processing of MRB cases
for manufactured items at your company. Today, before you decide which MRB cases
to process, you
need to query MRB cases for both shop order WIP and component
material. These cases were created in the previous MRB exercise. You will also need to
follow through and print reports for some of these cases, as well as print
labels to tag parts set aside for MRB cases.
- To start off, you will query for an overview of all MRB cases at your
site.
- Based on the cases listed in the overview, you will then query for a more
limited overview of cases based on the actual parts submitted for material
review.
- You will then select some specific MRB cases for more detailed review, and
print a report for these MRB cases.
- Based on the report, you will then print labels to attach to the
specific parts that have been submitted for material review.
There are a number of MRB cases that you previously created at your site. You
wish to quickly get a list of them to see which ones need more detailed review
on your part.
- Open the MRB Cases window and query for the MRB
cases that you previously created at your site for
the 21-230 and 21-250 parts in the earlier exercise. Query for your site and
part number 21-%.
- Review the MRB cases listed, and verify that the cases listed are the
ones you created in the earlier exercise. Review the Case Status
column to see the current status of the MRB cases. Some of them should be
Closed since you have finished processing them. Others should be either
in state Created or In Process.
- Still in the MRB Cases window, highlight a
selection of
rows, right-click on the selection, then click
MRB Case... This should bring up the
MRB Case window, with the MRB cases selected being displayed.
Note: While the MRB cases you have queried will not be further processed in this exercise,
leave them as they are since they will be used in subsequent exercises to
further demonstrate
querying and printing functionality.
Having identified the MRB cases needing more detailed review, you now wish to
see a quick overview of the parts submitted to the MRB cases. This could be
because some of the parts might be serial or lot tracked parts.
- Open the MRB Part Details window and query for
the MRB cases that you previously created at your site for
the 21-230 part in the earlier exercise. Query for your site and part number
21-%.
- Identify the rows corresponding to the MRB cases you are interested in
reviewing in more detail. Assume that you are interested in reviewing those
rows corresponding to shop order component material. Review the tracking
data for all rows. Since you had previously created and processed to
completion an MRB case for shop order component material, there should be at
least a few rows corresponding to serial no not having value *.
- Highlight a selection of such rows, right-click on the selection, then click
MRB Case... This should bring up the
MRB Case window, with the MRB cases corresponding to the part details
rows selected being displayed.
Note: While the MRB cases you have queried will not be further processed in this exercise,
leave them as they are since they will be used in subsequent exercises to
further demonstrate
querying and printing functionality.
You now wish to see a quick overview of the MRB cases for a specific part.
- Open the MRB Cases by Part window and query for the
MRB cases that you previously created at your site in the earlier exercise.
Query for your site and part number 21-230.
- Identify the rows corresponding to the MRB cases you are interested in
reviewing in more detail. Review the MRB cases listed, and verify that the
cases listed are the ones you created in the earlier exercise. Review the
Case Status column to see the current status of the MRB cases. Some of
them should be Closed since you have finished processing them. Others
should be either in state Created or In Process.
- Highlight a selection of rows, right-click on the selection, then click
MRB Case... This should bring up the
MRB Case window, with the MRB cases corresponding to the rows selected
being displayed.
Note: While the MRB cases you have queried will not be further processed in this exercise,
leave them as they are since they will be used in subsequent exercises to
further demonstrate
querying and printing functionality.
You can also see an overview of the disposition details for all MRB cases.
- Open the MRB Disposition Lines window and query for
the MRB cases that you previously created at your site in the earlier exercise.
Query for your site and part number 21-%.
- Identify the rows corresponding to the MRB cases you are interested in
reviewing in more detail. Review the MRB cases listed, and verify that the
cases listed are the ones you created in the earlier exercise. Review the
Case Status column to see the current status of the MRB cases. Some of
them should be Closed since you have finished processing them. Others
should be either in state Created or In Process. Review the
tracking data for all rows. Since you had previously created and processed
to completion an MRB case for shop order component material, there should be
at least a few rows corresponding to serial no not having value *.
Note: While the MRB cases you have queried will not be further processed in this exercise,
leave them as they are since they will be used in subsequent exercises to
further demonstrate
printing functionality.
Having identified MRB cases needing more detailed review, you can also print
a report of these MRB cases.
- Open the MRB Case Report dialog and enter your site
Site field. Leave the Part No and MRB Case ID fields with
the % value, this will print reports for all MRB cases for all parts at your
site. Enter a beginning and ending date range in the Begin and End
fields. This is based on the date the case was created. Click the OK
button.
- When the Report Print dialog is displayed, click on the Preview
button to see what the report looks like. You should see a report for each
MRB case, showing case details in the header section, as well as part
details in a table section.
- Click on the print icon to send the report to a printer.
Note: While the MRB cases you have queried will not be further processed in this exercise,
leave them as they are since they will be used in subsequent exercises to
further demonstrate
printing functionality.
Having identified MRB cases that need to be processed, you can also print
labels to attach to the parts submitted to these MRB cases.
- Open the MRB Label Report dialog and enter your site
Site field. Leave the Part No and MRB Case ID fields with
the % value, this will print reports for all MRB cases for all parts at your
site. Leave the Serial No, Lot Batch No and Label Quantity
fields blank. Enter a beginning and ending date range in the Begin
and End fields. This is based on the date the case was created. Click
the OK button.
- When the Report Print dialog is displayed, click on the Preview
button to see what the labels look like. You should see a label for each MRB
case, showing the part, site and non-conformance in the first section,
followed by part details such as serial no, lot batch no, configuration id,
part revision etc, in the second section. The last section shows the
quantity of the part to which the label will be tagged.
- Click on the print icon to send the labels to a printer.
