Strict · version 14

About Policies

Policies are the rules every rack and station decides by. Each change is a new version: it shows its impact on open work first, and going back is one more version through the same review.

Presets

Strict or Relaxed sets every preset value at once, in one version. A value set for the site, a rack, an item or a station overrides the preset where it applies: the first matching rule wins, from the most specific scope to the site.

What never relaxes

Approvals are off until switched on per action and scope. Fixed safeguards never relax. Publishing needs the policy grant; switching the preset needs it site-wide.

About decision points

Each row is one decision a rack or station makes, with the value in force and where it comes from.

The light language is in Lights & sound. Commissioning qualification runs in Rack setup, at Follow the light. Floor-life evaluation is Later, not in R1.

5 decisions with one answer in R1
  • When label formats overlap
    Overlapping formats are refused in every preset, even when readings agree. Order never decides a match.
    Stop and correct the formats
  • Receive a reel whose part neither Janus nor MES knows?
    Provisional Receive and a blocking Item unconfirmed in every preset.
    Receive · Item unconfirmed blocks issue
  • When stock is short for a demand line?
    Waiting for stock and the re-plan arbiter are later.
    Allocate what exists · close the rest short
  • What happens below a part’s minimum stock?
    An alert, per item
  • How does remote demand reach the rack?
    Nothing lights before a pull (Next, a list scan or Start); another collection context waits ready with its bays dark (0060).
    Station pull · one destination per rack side
What each order reads
  • Tails, then first received: Tails first, then the reel received earliest, then the smallest. A reel with no receipt time comes after those with one.
  • Tails, then first stored: Tails first, then the reel put in earliest, then the smallest. A reel with no put-in time comes last.
  • Smallest quantity: The smallest reel first. A reel of unknown quantity comes after every counted one.
  • Reel ID: By reel ID, lowest or highest first. Every reel has one.
  • Date code: By the date code on the label, oldest or newest first, then by reel ID. A reel with no readable date code comes last either way.
  • Customer lot: By customer lot, then the reel put in earliest, then the smallest. A lot that is not 8 characters sorts by its put-in date instead; a reel with no lot comes last.
  • Job and aged date code: Reels bound to the requested job first, then unbound ones; a reel bound to another job is never taken. In each group: date codes older than two years, oldest first, then tails, then the smallest. No binding counts as unbound; no date code as not aged.
  • Shipment: Reels of the requested part first, then by shipment number, then reel ID. A reel with no shipment number comes last.

A reel at or below the tail threshold is a tail; the predecessor counted only below it. Blocked, claimed, out-of-service and not-reporting reels are never taken, whatever the order; the take-out's own rack comes first.

New decisions use it at once; open work keeps its version. Online racks change on their next read; ST-01 gets it when it reconnects.

Impact preview

    Tower lights change on each rack’s next read, within 2 s. No tower changes what it shows right now.
    3 things to check in Tower lights. Rule 4 never shows on SR-03: its towers have no blue lamp. Rule 8 never shows: rule 5 comes first for task in progress at this rack on the same towers. Everywhere but SR-03: Help called at this rack (rule 4) and take-outs (rule 5) both show blue blink. A fault, a help call or a move must look unlike anything else. You can still publish.

    Switch the site to Strict as version 15?

    Every site-scope rule, grant template and approval switch changes at once: every command is decided under the whole old or the whole new preset, never a mix. Rules at a rack, item or station stay.

    No site value changes.

    Impact preview

    • Open work
      Open tasks, removals and the SR-02 outage episode keep version 14. New ones use Strict.
    • Your draft
      Your unpublished edits stay on top of the new preset.

    Switching needs the policy grant and grant management over every affected scope, in this one command. A policy grant on a rack subtree publishes there, never a site-wide preset.

    Roll back to version 13?

    One step: version 15 gets the values of version 13. Version 14 stays in Versions. Open work keeps its version.
