Campaign Exception for Punch Time Requirements:
ANA6, WNJ8, and WNK1
PCNA will make an exception to warranty policy regarding the necessary time keeping procedures when
performing the following campaigns: ANA6, WNJ8, and WNK1. Though warranty policy guidelines state that no
technician may be punched on more than one R.O. at the same time, an exception will be made for the ANA6/
WNJ8/WNK1 campaigns. Due to the extensive programming time necessary a technician may perform multiple
ANA6, WNJ8, and WNK1 campaigns at one time, as long as there is a separate identifiable punch for each
on the respective repair order and the total number of campaigns being performed at one time does not
exceed 3. The exception will be made so that full "active participation time" does not need to be documented
for these 3 campaigns only.
