Task Relationship - Tools (tirou0115m000)

Use this session to link tools to a task relationship. The task relationship tools apply to a specific combination of a task, a machine and/or a work center.

Note

You can define task relationships in the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session.

Default value

If you linked one or more tools to a specific machine in the Machine - Tools (tirou0110m000) session, and you defined a task relationship in the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session in which the specific machine is involved, the tools linked to the machine are automatically inserted in the current session. You can delete tools, or add new tools, if required.

The tools defined in this session, are used as defaults in the Operation/Operation Step - Tools (tirou1110m000) session. The tools are defaulted to the Operation/Operation Step - Tools (tirou1110m000) session if the operation makes use of a task relationship to which tools are linked in the current session.

Task

An activity to manufacture or repair an item. For example, sawing, drilling, or painting.

A task is carried out on a work center, and can be related to a machine.

Work Center

A specific production area consisting of one or more people and/or machines with identical capabilities, that can be considered as one unit for purposes of the capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling.

Machine

In LN, a mechanical object on which operations can be carried out to produce items.

Machines are linked to operation rates. The operation rate and the labor rate together form the basis for the actual costing of production orders.

Sequence Number

The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually LN generates the sequence number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite this number. You can sometimes influence the numbering by setting the corresponding parameters.

Tool Type

The tool type is the first level that is used to identify the tool in the coding system for tools.

Some examples of tool types are:

  • Hammer
  • Screwdriver
  • Wheelbarrows

Hammer 1, screwdriver 2 and wheelbarrow 3 are examples of tool types in combination with a tool serial number, and represent unique tools.

Tool Kit

A set of specific tools required to perform a single task. A tool kit can be linked to a machine, a task, and/or a routing operation to specify the tool(s) required to perform the task and/or operation.

Tool Serial Number

A number to identify a tool. The combination of a tool type, for example, hammer, and a tool serial number, for example, 1, results in a unique identification of a tool in LN.
