In a recent study on employee training and trends in manufacturing, the following results were obtained:

1. Improved Learning Retention: People retain about 80% of what they see and do, compared to only 20% of what they read. This makes VWIs, which combine visuals and hands-on action, significantly more effective for training.
2. Reduced Errors: VWIs help minimize mistakes by providing clear, step-by-step guidance. Companies that have switched from traditional text-heavy instructions to visual formats report a notable decrease in errors, leading to better quality assurance. 
3. Faster Onboarding: New employees can reach full productivity much quicker with VWIs. Some organizations have cut training time by nearly 50%, allowing workers to learn at their own pace with minimal supervision.

​Every manufacturer relies on a few core metrics to manage operations: efficiency, productivity, capacity, and labor and equipment utilization. These benchmarks are used worldwide to assess performance and process effectiveness.

This enhancement adds publication of IBC messages to additional LX screens. While entering data on the primary screen for inventory transactions, IBC messages are now published and available for use in Ming.le contextual applications.

This enhancement improves performance by submitting to batch the automatic synchronization of changes from LX user maintenance (SYS600) to System i Manager (SiM). During LX user maintenance, there are now three possible approaches to synchronizing the LX user changes to SiM, controlled by system parameters. Synchronizing LX user changes to SiM in batch allows the person executing SYS600 to continue with additional maintenance or other transactions without waiting for the synchronization to finish.

This enhancement provides IDF relationships from Inventory Transaction History (ITH) to Ledger Book Subsystem Transaction (GXR) and from Ledger Book Subsystem Transaction (GXR) to Ledger Book Journal Line. To implement this enhancement, request and apply MR 81558.

This enhancement provided the following relationships:

• Inventory Transaction History
• Relationship to Ledger Book Subsystem Transaction (1 to Many) Default view ‘General’
• Ledger Book Subsystem card Default view ‘Inventory Processing’
• Default subset ‘Inventory Processing’

This enhancement provides users with complete traceability from inventory transactions (ITH) to ledger book journal lines (GLH), regardless of how many ledgers are used and journals created. Due to the bi-directional relationship, users can see the source ITH detail from the journal lines.
