Use this session to link the setup classes and setup states to an operation of a specific production order.

Production Order

An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date.

Project

An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date.

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 standard cost.

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.
