| Availability Planning (titrp0513m000)Use this session to list orders that make
use of a critical tool. The orders are sorted on the basis of the start date of
the order that is displayed in the Start Date field. For every order, the tool
requirements are indicated. Tool The tool type is the first level that is used to identify the
tool in the coding system for tools. Some examples of tool types are: - Hammer
- Screwdriver
- Wheelbarrows
Hammer 1, screwdriver 2 and wheelbarrow 3 are examples of
tool types in combination with a tool serial number, and represent unique
tools. Tool's Life Based On The measurement upon which the tool's life is based. Start Date The start date of, for example, the operation or activity for
which the tool is used. End Date The end date of, for example, the operation or activity for
which the tool is used. Kind of Order The order type for which the tools requirements are displayed. Site The site where the tool is used. Activity 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. Step The operation step for which the tool is planned. This field is only applicable if the Kind of Order field
in the current session is Production Order. Line The line number of the service order for which the time phased
availability of tools is performed. Sequence Number The number that identifies a data record or a step in a
sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually LN generates the sequence
number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite
this number. Tool Number A number to identify a tool. The combination of a tool type,
for example, hammer, and a tool serial number, for example, 1, results in a
unique identification of a tool in LN. Required Tool Usage The required tool usages are expressed in the number of times
that the tool is used, or in the amount of hours that the tool is used. The
quantity of required usages are deducted from value in the Life field. Note If the Tool's Life Based On field is Not Applicable this field is empty. | |
