Maintaining Routing Operations

  • For a nonstandard routing
    Enter the code of an operation and a manufactured item
  • For a standard routing
    only select the routing

  • Choose the first operation number and the associated task

    The other data is then displayed as default data. This data is retrieved from the Tasks (tirou0103m000) session, or the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session.

  • You can enter and maintain a routing operation directly in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) overview session.
  • To change more details, you must double-click the BOM line, after which the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) details session starts.
To change the number of resources on an operation

If you want to change the number of resources on an operation, you can do this by changing the value of the Man Occupation for Production field, or the Machine Occupation field. However, changing the number of resources does not effect the cycle time, and, consequently, the production time. On the other hand, the total production costs will change due to the extra resources.

To prevent that production costs change when you change the man occupation or the machine occupation, the cycle time must be recalculated. You can choose to do so, because when changing the man or machine occupation, a question pops up to ask you whether you want the cycle time to be recalculated:

  • If you click Yes, the cycle time is recalculated. So, the man occupation or machine occupation is changed, including the total production time, but the costs stay the same. For more information on how the cycle time is recalculated, refer to Recalculation of cycle time when changing man occupation or machine occupation.
  • If you click No, the changed man occupation or machine occupation does not affect the cycle time and the production time. However, the total production costs will change to reflect the change in man occupation or machine occupation.
