| | Line Station Variant - Assembly Parts (tiasc2121m000)Use this session to view the assembly parts
allocated to a line station variant (LSV). If the LSO is made order-specific,
you can also modify the assembly parts. Line Station Variant Holds identical operations and materials that are used at a
specific line station for multiple assembly orders. In this manner, the
identical operations and materials are stored only once, rather than for each
assembly order. When line station variants are used, less data storage is
required, and the performance is enhanced. Example You produce cars with various features, including two types
of wheels: broad and narrow. In the wheel line station, in which the wheels are
fitted, all cars with broad wheels are one line station variant, and cars with
narrow wheels are another line station variant, regardless of any other
specifications, because the other specifications are not relevant to the wheel
line station. Line Station The line station for which the LSV applies. Shop Floor Warehouse The shop floor warehouse where the assembly part is
stored. Line Station Order Status If the LSV is order-specific, this field displays the status of
the line station order (LSO) that is linked to the LSV. LSOs can have the following statuses: - Planned
- Frozen
- Ready to Start
- Completed
- Closed
Note This field is only displayed if the selected LSV is
order-specific. Operation This operation is linked to the LSV. The assembly part is used
in this operation. Process This field is not in use. It is reserved for functionality that
is not yet available. Original Operation If this check box is selected, the operation has not
been modified, by making the line-station variant order-specific. This check box is used to determine the printing result.
When originals must be printed, the operations for which this check box is
selected are printed. When differences must be printed, the operations for
which this check box is cleared are printed. Position The unique position number for the assembly part in the line
station variant. Assembly Part The assembly component. An assembly part is a part that is used in the assembly
process. This part is delivered to the assembly line. Original Assembly Part If this check box is selected, the assembly part has
not been altered. If this check box is cleared, one of the fields of the
assembly part has been changed. You can only do this if the LSV is
order-specific. This box is used to determine the printed result. If
originals must be printed, the assembly parts for which this check box is
selected are printed. If differences must be printed, the assembly parts for
which this check box is cleared are printed. Product Engineering Quantity The quantity of the item, measured according to the unit of
measure that is displayed in the Inventory Unit field. Quantities of assembly parts can be calculated as product engineering quantity or as process
engineering quantity. These terms denote two methods of calculating
the assembly part requirements, based on two methods of modeling the product in
Line Assembly Configuration (LAC). Product engineering represents the end
product as a structure of assembly parts, while process engineering represents
the product as the outcome of a sequence of operations, which require assembly
parts. Although you might expect that the results of both calculations are the
same, in practice there can be some difference. This difference is due to the
way these two kinds of modeling are actually worked out. In anticipation of functionality that is not yet available,
these terms are here distinguished. But currently only the product engineering
quantity is used. Note When the Process Engineering Quantity or Product Engineering Quantity is modified, the Build
Assembly Part Allocation process is executed automatically. Inventory Unit The physical quantity in which an item or good is managed. For
example, a quantity of wood can be expressed as a length by using the unit of
one meter, or as a volume by using the unit of one cubic meter. Engineering Module An engineering module is a group of standard parts, without
routings, assembly lines, options and so on, for a particular system, such as
the electrical system or transmission. The engineering module is part of the
line station variant. An engineering module is not separately manufactured, and
is used for design and planning purposes only. You must enter the engineering module here, so that LN can print it on the
header of the As Built structure. Inventory Unit The unit the quantity is measured in. Assembly Part to be Printed on Instructions Floor Stock A stock of inexpensive material present in the job shop that
can be used in production without recording each issue of material
individually. Floor stock is not backflushed and is not part of the estimated
costs. Fixed Supply Data Indicates under what conditions it is allowed to update line
supply settings. Shop Floor Warehouse A warehouse that stores intermediate inventory in order to
supply work centers. A shop floor warehouse is linked to an individual work
cell, an assembly line, or one or more work centers. A shop floor warehouse can
be supplied with goods using replenishment orders, or by pull-based material
supply. The pull-based material supply methods are: - Order Controlled/Batch (only applicable in Assembly Control).
- Order Controlled/SILS (only applicable in Assembly Control).
- Order Controlled/Single (only applicable in Job Shop Control).
- KANBAN.
- Time-Phased Order Point.
The items stored in the shop-floor warehouse are not part of
the work in process (WIP). When items leave the shop floor warehouse for use in
production, their value is added to the WIP. Shop Floor Warehouse Location A distinct place in a warehouse where goods are stored. A warehouse can be divided into locations to manage the
available space, and to locate the stored goods. Storage conditions and blocks
can be applied to individual locations. Supply System Four supply systems are available: If you use the supply in line sequence (SILS) supply system, LN generates warehouse transfers or sequenced shipping schedules to ensure the assembly parts arrive at the job shop warehouse in sequence with
the line station orders. If you use the batch supply system, the assembly parts are
supplied as batches of parts. When a line station order (LSO) is completed,
usually at a different line station, defined in the Trigger-from Station field of the current session, this triggers a warehouse
transfer from the source to the job shop warehouse of the line station that
requires the parts. The source can be a warehouse or an external supplier. The
next transfer occurs the next time a line station order is completed after the
batch has been consumed. Supply Type You either obtain the parts from a warehouse in your own
company, or buy them from an external supplier. Ship-from Business Partner If the part is obtained from an external supplier, the
ship-from business partner is the business partner who ships the
part. Assembly Kit Type The type of assembly kit: Allowed values - Line Station
- Product
- Not Applicable
Trigger-from Station The line station at which an event is defined as trigger for
the supply of assembly parts to the job shop warehouse for the current LSV. For
example, if the LSO of the current assembly order on the Trigger-from Station
is reported complete, this event triggers the sending of supply messages for
the parts that are required for the current LSV. | |
