Operation Splitting
Use the Operation Splitting group of fields to divide an operation quantity into smaller groups. The three fields are:
- Split Rule
- Specify what should be split. See the table below for a description of each option.
- Split Size
- Specify the quantity to split into a new operation.
- Split Group
- If Split Rule is Split Group or Split All Group, specify a resource group to allow to system to determine the optimal number of splits based on the availability of the members in the resource group.
Note: If there are more splits created than there are available members from the
required resource groups, the splits are processed serially by the resources that are able to
be allocated. If the operation uses a fixed step time, rather than per piece, each split
requires a step time equal to [step time * split size / total demand size].
| Split Rule | Description |
|---|---|
| No Splitting | The operation will be completed without splitting the order quantity. |
| Split Size | The order is processed at this operation in split quantities specified by the Split Size. If the order quantity is not evenly divisible by the Split Size, any remainder will be processed as a separate split amount. |
| Split Loads | The Split Size indicates the number of splits into which the order is divided at this operation. The size of each split is calculated by (Order Size / Split Size), adjusted for the current precision. The size of the final split will be adjusted to make the sum of the split quantities match the original order quantity. |
| Split Group | The resource group specified by Split Group will be examined. The number of members in this group that are available at the start date of the operation (or end date when pull planning) determines the number of splits into which the order quantity will be divided. The size of each split is calculated by (Order Size / # of available group members), adjusted for the current precision. The size of the final split will be adjusted to make the sum of the split quantities match the original order quantity. |
| Split All Group | The resource group specified by Split Group will be examined. The number of members in this group determines the number of splits into which the order quantity will be divided. The size of each split is calculated by (Order Size / # of group members), adjusted for the current precision. The size of the final split will be adjusted to make the sum of the split quantities match the original order quantity. |
