| Setup Classes and States by Routing Operation (tirou1104m000) Manufactured Item The items that can be manufactured end products and
subassemblies. A manufactured item is usually associated with a bill of
material and a routing that describe the components used to assemble it and the
manner in which it is assembled. Manufactured items are also referred to as
production items and can be purchased. Routing The sequence of operations required to manufacture an item. For each operation, the task, machine, and work center are
specified, as well as information about setup time and cycle time. Operation One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out
successively to produce an item. The following data is collected during a routing operation: - The task. For example, sawing.
- The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For
example, sawing machine.
- The place where the task is carried out (work center). For
example, woodwork.
- The number of employees required to carry out the task.
This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan
production orders and to calculate cost prices. Setup Class A type of item characteristic that indicates how a machine must
be set up to produce the item. The setup class determines the changeover time
for a machine or a tool between two operations. A setup class consists of a
series of setup states. In a matrix of setup states the specific changeover
times can be defined. Example Examples of setup classes are color and thickness. If your
setup class is color, the setup states can be red, green, white, black, and so
on. Setup State An item's characteristic that is linked to an operation.
Depending on the setup states of two successive operations, a machine's
changeover takes longer or less long. A series of setup states form a setup
class. Example If your setup class is color, examples of setup states are
red, green, white, black, and so on. | |
