Abstract
A time recorder stores on and off times of technician repair jobs and receives repair order numbers and flat rate times through a key pad input. The time recorder prints flag tickets on adhesive-backed paper for application to repair orders. The system also prints daily time cards and efficiency in progress reports when requested by a supervisor. Technicians are identified to the time recorder by key pad input or by a bar code wand and supervisors are identified through key pad input or badges having magnetic stripes.
