In addition to standard SATELITE PLUS shop floor control software with gross payroll, Leadtec also offers other software options to enhance the capabilities of the Satelite Plus system. Available options include: |
|
| Net Payroll Option The SATELITE PLUS Net Payroll Option translates the gross payroll calculated by Satelite Plus and prepares a net payroll compliant with U.S. federal and most state tax requirements. The payroll system also provides for the generation of non-incentive pay transactions, e.g. sick, holiday, vacation, bonuses, etc. and handles taxable and non-taxable deductions. Deduction arrears processing is included to handle cases where all deductions cannot be taken from a single check. The system prints payroll checks and allows the entry of manual and void checks. Processing is included for printing W2s as well as preparation of magnetic media reporting. Home Top

| Batch Data Entry Option The SATELITE PLUS Batch Data Entry Option provides the ability to operate a plant with data collection in batch mode, realtime mode or a combination of both modes. Users can start with an entirely batch operation and easily migrate to full realtime by adding terminals as desired. The Batch Data Entry Option provides an easy
transition from batch to real-time and enables the continuing operation of both batch and
real-time simultaneously when this best meets the needs of the factory. The system will
automatically support operators who move between portions of a factory which operate in
different modes (batch or real-time). Inventory which moves from a batch environment to
real-time is automatically tracked by the system. In addition, the system supports a
single user interface for engineering, management reporting and payroll regardless of the
mode of operation. Obviously, in batch mode not all of the reporting and analysis
capabilities of SATELITE PLUS are provided.

| Modular Manufacturing Option The Modular Manufacturing (MM) real-time system option captures production and attendance data for each operator in a module. Using the Message Boards (see below) for group displays, production and performance presentations give the operators continuous visibility of the entire module's performance. Gross pay calculations can be based on a combination of actual coupon earnings for each individual and for the entire group. Other bonuses can be calculated and entered manually, using standard Satelite Plus reports to obtain the necessary information. Home Top

| Group Incentives Group Incentives (GI) are used to describe a single job that is performed by a small group of operators working together, whose earnings are based entirely on their collective performance. Satelite Plus realtime captures GI production and attendance data in real-time, provides real-time and historical reporting, and automatically calculates gross payroll. Any Satelite Plus workplace terminal can be used for Group Incentive. A special transaction, entered at the terminal, identifies it as a GI terminal. The terminal then functions slightly differently than an individual incentive terminal:
Each operator that clocks in at the GI terminal becomes a member of the group. The
composition of the group automatically changes as operators clock in and out. As the group
works, each bundle is scanned at the GI terminal. Each bundle's piecerate is divided
equally among the operators that compose the group at the time the bundle is scanned. This
also applies to the values that drive the motivational timers -- the standard time is
divided by the number of operators in the group to derive the target time.

| Shared Terminal Option In addition to realtime operation using dedicated Satelite Plus terminals, the system also provides a realtime option using shared terminals. Dedicated terminals provide an entry and motivational device for each operator. Shared terminals allow more than one operator to share a conveniently located terminal for barcode data entry and to receive earnings and performance information in realtime. STO can be implemented at a much lower cost
than a dedicated terminal configuration, however, it does not enable all of the benefits
available with a dedicated terminal configuration. STO is a great alternative to batch and
in low-cost labor markets. With STO, Satelite Plus gives users a broad choice of system
configurations and implementation costs: from the least expensive batch configuration;
realtime with shared terminals; and the greatest benefits of a dedicated terminal
configuration.

| Plant Loading System The SATELITE PLUS Plant Loading System (PLS) is a forecasting tool. PLS allows Satelite Plus users to simulate up to date work-in-process and planned future work loading, and automatically compare this work against the capacity limits of each job in the factory. By carefully evaluating the priority of planned work and alternative work schedules, the planner can use PLS to determine the best available program for work release to the factory. Home Top

| Plant Bells Option The Plant Bells realtime system option provides the ability to have Satelite Plus automatically ring the plant's bells synchronized with the system's clock. This prevents discrepancies between the time bells are rung and the time the system uses for shift start and stop. Leadtec furnishes the hardware and software which will turn on the AC current used to ring most bell systems. Each hardware set drives multiple bells within a single plant. Home Top

| Realtime Message Boards The Realtime Message Board option is a great way to inform and motivate groups of employees. It uses a "moving message board" to display information to a team, section (department), or an entire plant. Any number of message boards can be installed in a plant. Each board can be configured to display performance information for a single team or section, or summary performance information for the entire plant. The information on the board is updated every few minutes (controlled by a system parameter). The message boards are available in two sizes: a 2" high board is visible up to 100 feet; the 4" high board is visible up to 200 feet. Some examples of what can be shown on the message boards are included below. Introductory text announcing the data to follow:

| Order Tracking Option Order Tracking is a Satelite Plus option which associates "cuts" with a higher level tracking item called an "order". The system provides reporting functions to track the status of each order and the various cuts associated with each order. This option is intended for plants that deal with customer or contract level orders and that have several cuts associated with each order. The Order Tracking option provides: |
