A set of consecutive assembly-line work centers on an assembly line between two buffers. The first buffer is the beginning of the segment, the next buffer is the first part of the next segment.
Line Segment - Exchangeable Configurations (tiasl2530m000)An item is exchangeable with another item at a particular point on the assembly line, if at that point the two items have the same specifications. During the exchange, the physical products are exchanged. This means that the WIP that was assigned to one assembly order is now linked to the other assembly order. In LN, the serial numbers and as-built structures of the assembly orders are exchanged.
Segment A set of consecutive assembly-line work centers on an assembly line between two buffers. The first buffer is the beginning of the segment, the next buffer is the first part of the next segment. 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. Assembly Order An order to assemble a product on one or more assembly lines. Exchangeable Configuration A configuration is exchangeable with another configuration at a particular point on the assembly line, if at that point the two configurations have the same specifications.
