Assembly Line - Assignments and Line Stations (tiasc5520m000)Use this session to display the assembly assignments linked to a line station. This data is defined in Line Assembly Control (LAC), where the data is referred to as the Line Station Level Assignment.
Assembly Line A set of consecutive line stations in which FAS (Final Assembly
Schedule) items are manufactured. The items are manufactured by passing the
items from line station to line station and by carrying out operations at each
line station. An assembly line is subdivided into a number of line segments
separated by buffers. An assembly line can be either a main line or a supplying
line. Line Station A work center that is part of an assembly line. A line station
is used in the production of FAS (final assembly schedule) items. A line
station can have multiple positions, which enables more than one item to be
present in one line station. Assignment The set of resources assigned to an assembly line for a
particular period of the day. The resources are divided over the line stations
to create a balanced line. Assignments are defined for an assembly line. For each assignment, you specify the cycle time and its activity ranges, which are the period and time ranges for which the assignment is effective. The process characteristics that you define for an assignment include:
These process characteristics are linked to other assignments that are, in turn, linked to the assembly assignment. When an assignment is in effect, the assignments that are linked to it are also in effect. assignment types Two types of assignments exist, both of which exist at the same time. The average assignment is used for more general purposes, whereas the nonaverage assignment has a very specific period and time range.
Note An average cycle time is not a mathematical average, but is a value that you consider to be a suitable average for the nonaverage cycle times over the course of a full day. ManOccupation The number of employees working the line station for this assembly assignment. MachineOccupation The number of machines being used at the line station for this assembly assignment. Number ofCycle Times The time required to process one assembly order in the line
station, for this assignment. The time is expressed as a number of cycles. For
instance, if the cycle time is two minutes, ten minutes is
expressed as five cycles.
