The Repetitive Manufacturing module facilitates production control in a
repetitive-type manufacturing environment. The module is used for high-volume
production in a multimodel-flow environment.
Repetitive Manufacturing (RPT)
Repetitive Manufacturing (RPT)
Repetitive Manufacturing is used for the production of standard products that are produced in large
quantities in a continuous flow. RPT provides a simplified procedure for the
production orders in Job Shop Control.
This type of manufacturing is typically used in these
areas:
Tier 1 and tier 2 automotive, either in stand-alone
manufacturing, or as a supply line for larger assembly lines.
The production of household appliances and consumer
electronics.
Medical supplies and semi-processed foods.
Any manufacturing environment or parts of manufacturing
environment with a continuous and steady demand.
Products suited for repetitive manufacturing have these
characteristics:
Standard (not customized)
Inexpensive
A limited number of variants
May be complex
A flat bill of material
The product of repetitive manufacture can be a sellable
end-item, or a sub-assembly for use in a different manufacture
process.
Repetitive products may have started out a items produced in job
shop, with the method of production changing due to changes in demand or the
number of variants making production by different means more
effective.
There are two repetitive manufacturing concepts available,
depending on parameter settings in the Repetitive Manufacturing Parameters (tirpt0100m000) session.
If the supply source of an item is Repetitive, the production model containing the production, and item order data for the item is
leading in scheduling and production. A production model is date effective, and
a new revision is generated for every new period. It is possible to use an
active model as the default for costing, planning, or both in other production
models.
A schedule is added on top of job shop production orders.
You can process the production data by using production schedules. The
production schedule lines are generated by Order Planning module in Enterprise Planning.
A calculation method to measure and optimize the overall
effectiveness of the production environment. It compares and contrasts the
effectiveness of individual operations or groups of operations which are
performing a similar function.
Process Inspections
Simple in-process inspections can be scheduled, often to
determine the wear on tools used during production. Work stations are defined
as inspection points that is linked to an inspection protocol that is linked to
a production model.
