Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000)

Use this session to:

  • View historical parameter settings in the overview session.
  • Modify current parameter settings in the details session.
  • To view historical settings, double-click one of the historical parameter sets.
  • To view or change the current parameter settings, double-click the set without an effective date that appears at the top of the list. The Routing Parameters (tirou0100m000) details session starts.

If you make the required changes in the details session and save the new parameter set, LN performs the following actions:

  • Adds the new set to the history list
  • Updates the current set (at the top of the list)

 

Effective Date
The date and time that the parameters were changed. The parameters are valid up to the effective date of a more recent parameter setting. The current set has no effective date.
Description
The description of the parameter set. The default is the description of the previous parameter set, so to avoid confusion you must always delete this and add a new text.
Routing Details
Default Routing
The default routing in this field is selected by LN if:
  • The routing is independent of the order quantity.
  • No routing is defined for the required quantity.
Production Rate Time Unit
The unit of time in which the production rate is expressed.
Use Production Rates
LN uses either an item's cycle time or the production rate to calculate the operation time. Depending on the value of this parameter, LN selects the value of the Cycle Time (min) field or the Production Rate field (for example, in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session).

If this check box is selected, the value of the Production Rate field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session is used to calculate the operation time.

If this check box is cleared, the value of the Cycle Time (min) field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) is used to calculate the operation time. The Production Rate field in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session is disabled.

Scrap Quantity and Yield on Operation
If this check box is selected, you can define the scrap quantity and the yield on operation level.

If this check box is cleared, there is no scrap and yield defined on operation level. This means that for each operation: scrap = 0 yield = 100

Update Tools and Process Variables
If this check box is selected, you can manage the tools and process variable for this routing.
Allow Parallel Operations in Routing
If this check box is selected, you can define network routings. A network routing has parallel operations.

If this check box is cleared, the Next fields in the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) and Generic Routing (tipcf3120m000) sessions are hidden.

If this check box is selected, shop floor warehouses used at job shop work centers can simultaneously be used for assembly line stations.
Transfer Batch Method
For efficiency reasons, it can be necessary to start work on a routing operation before the preceding operation is finished. The time you can start work on the operation is determined by the amount of items that is already finished on the preceding operation. This amount can be expressed in terms of an item quantity (transfer batch quantity), or as a percentage of items (transfer batch percentage).

The selected transfer batch method, Quantity or Percentage, determines whether you have to deal with a transfer batch quantity or a transfer batch percentage. You can define or display transfer batch quantities/percentages in the following sessions:

Perc Setup Time for Rate Calculation
This field is used in the rate calculation for repetitive items. This field provides the percentage of the setup time of an operation that must be subtracted from the basic day capacity to calculate the number of hours available for production.

Label Layout
If you use Kanban labels to trigger supply on the job shop, the label layout entered in this field determines the format of the labels.

You can define the use of kanban labels in the Print Kanban Labels (tirou2402m000) session.
