The weekly capacity of each resource unit in the work center.
This value is used to calculate the normal capacity of a work center for each
week, which is displayed in work center utilization reports.
Work Center 360 (timfc1501m000)Use this session to check work center capacity and utilization in order to carry out production orders on schedule. If problems occur, they can be early distinguished to take suitable measures.
Week Capacity [Hours] The weekly capacity of each resource unit in the work center.
This value is used to calculate the normal capacity of a work center for each
week, which is displayed in work center utilization reports. Queue Time The amount of time that an order remains at a work center
before setup, or work is performed. The queue time is used in lead time calculation. The queue time is expressed in days or hours. The days or hours must be interpreted as days and hours in the working time calendar that is linked to the work center. Basic Day Capacity The daily capacity of each resource unit in the work center.
This value is used to calculate the normal capacity of a work center for each
day, which is displayed in work center utilization reports. Wait Time The time that an order remains at a work center after an
operation is completed until it is moved to the next operation. LN does not plan wait times according to a specific calendar. Planning of the wait time is based on a 7 * 24 hours week schedule. A typical example is the time required for drying after the application of paint. When LN calculates the start times and end times of planned orders based on the routing, LN takes the wait time into account. The plan buffer enables you to build in a certain tolerance between successive operations, which makes it possible to shift operations. The wait time is expressed in days or hours. The days or hours do not relate to a calendar. The availability of time is considered as 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Note This field is not used if the Work Center Type field is Costing. Number of Machines The number of machines that is available
for production on the work center. This value can be calculated and updated in
the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session. LN searches for all machines allocated to a work center using of the Machines (tirou0102m000) session. The calculation for the number of machines for a work center: Number of machines = Sum of weekly capacities of all machines linked to the work center / Weekly capacity of the work center The work center's weekly capacity is defined in the Week Capacity [Hours] field. The number of machines and the number of operators that is linked to a work center is used to calculate the work center's available capacity. Example
Number of machines = (40+60)/40 = 2.50 Move Time The time that a semifinished good is in transit from one
operation to the next operation. After the last operation, the move time is the
time required to transfer the finished good to the warehouse. Move time is one of the lead-time elements LN plans according to a specific calendar. Number of Operators The number of operators that is available to the work center.
This value can be calculated and updated in the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session. Each work center is a department. LN searches for all operators assigned to the department using the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, and calculates the weekly capacities. The calculation for the number of operators for a work center: Number of operators = Sum of weekly capacities of all operators linked to the work center / Weekly capacity of the work center The employees' weekly capacities are entered in the Employment field in the Employees - People (bpmdm0101m000) details session. The work center's weekly capacity is defined in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. The number of machines and the number of operators that is linked to a work center are used to calculate the work center's available capacity. Example Today's date: 2000-11-07 Work center A: 40 hrs/week
Number of operators = (40 + 30) /40 = 1.75 Desired Queue The difference between the output and input of a work cell required by the user. This value is the default for initial queue
calculations. Print Instructions If you use a microrouting, you can define
instructions for production orders for each operation and for each operation step. If the value
of this field is Yes, those instructions are
printed. 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. Work Center Type The work center type. Allowed values ParentWork Center A work center that is subdivided into subordinate work centers. Shared Work Center Type Specification of the work center. Allowed values Critical in Planning If this check box is selected, the work center is
critical. As a result, the work center is included in the bill of critical capacities used in Enterprise Planning. Company A working environment in which you can carry out logistic or
financial transactions. All the transaction data is stored in the company's
database. Depending on the type of data that the company controls, the company is:
In a multisite structure, some of the database tables can be unique for the company and the company can share other database tables with other companies. Subcontractor The subcontractor, if the Work Center Type field is Subcontracting. Note You cannot specify this field if the SubcontractorIndependent check box is selected in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session. Enterprise Unit A financially independent part of your organization that
consists of entities such as departments, work centers, warehouses, and
projects. The enterprise unit's entities must all belong to the same logistic
company, but a logistic company can contain multiple enterprise units. An
enterprise unit is linked to a single financial company. When you carry out logistic transactions between enterprise units, these are posted in the financial companies to which each enterprise unit is linked. You can define intercompany trade relationships between enterprise units to determine the terms for internal trade between these units. To use invoicing and pricing between enterprise units, you must link the enterprise units to internal business partners. You can use enterprise units to do separate financial accounting for parts of your business. For example, you can define enterprise units for separate parts of your organization that belong to one logistic company, but that are located in different countries. The accounting of each enterprise unit is performed in each country's national currency, and in the financial company linked to the enterprise unit. Operation Rate Code The code linked to the work center and used as the work center
rate. Note You must define operation codes in the Operation Rate Codes (ticpr0150m000) session. This field is only enabled if:
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:
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. You can only enter a value if the Use of Shop Floor Warehouses check box in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is selected. The value of the Warehouse Type field in the Warehouses (tcmcs0103s000) session must be set to Shop Floor. Backflush Employee The employee number to which hours are posted in People using backflushing. Queue Time The amount of time that an order remains at a work center
before setup, or work is performed. The queue time is used in lead time calculation. The queue time is expressed in days or hours. The days or hours must be interpreted as days and hours in the working time calendar that is linked to the work center. If the Time Unit field is Days, LN rounds the entered values of the lead times to integer values. Costing Work Center A work center, linked to a planning work center, that is used
to calculate the end item unit costs, WIP transfers, and production results
used to hold the financial transactions related to production orders. The link between a costing work center, and a planning work center enables you to replan production order operations again. If required, you can change the work center that is used to carry out an operation without modifying the costing process. Note If the work center is of the Sub Work Center type, the costing work center of the sub-work-center's main work center is automatically displayed. However, you can change the costing work center in this field. Constraint Type Specify the type of constrained type for the work
center. Allowed values
Constraint Time Fence A reference date against which processes or statuses are
evaluated. Example The assembly order time fence on an assembly line defines the end date of the period for which assembly orders must be created. If this time fence is 100 days, assembly orders must be created for product variants whose planned offline date is between now and 100 days. Similarly, a time fence can define when line station orders must be frozen, updated, and so on. Use rough PCS capacity requirement In PCS network planning, the work center's capacity can be
