The site for which the reference operations are defined.

Work Center

A specific production area consisting of one or more people and/or machines with identical capabilities, that can be considered as one unit for purposes of the capacity requirement planning and detailed scheduling.

Routing Quantity

The quantity of product on which the cycle time is based.

Setup Time

The time required for setting up or changing over a machine before you can start production again. Setup time can vary in duration depending on the machine and the operations performed.

Cycle Time

The (average) time between completion of two separate units of production. For example, the cycle time of motors assembled at a rate of 120 per hour is 30 seconds.

Production Rate

The number of units for which the task can be performed per unit of time on a work center. The unit can be per hour or per minute, depending on the Production Rate Time Unit field in the Job Shop Master Data Parameters (tirou0100m000) session. The rate is derived from the cycle time.

Number of Machines

The number of machines used during production.

Process Time

The time between completion of two separate units of production on a machine. For example, if an operation is processed on two machines, and has a cycle time of 4 minutes, the process time would be 8 minutes.

Fixed Setup Time

The sequence independent time required to set up or change over a machine in order to start running the machine.

This is used by SCM Scheduler and Planner.

Operation Rate Code

A code that identifies operation rates (labor costs, machine costs, or overhead costs). The code can be defined at different levels, and in order of priority be related to the reference operation, machine capacity group, work center and production department's calculation office.

Backflushing

If this check box is selected, the materials and/or hours used during the operation are automatically backflushed after an operation is reported as complete.

Serialized items

Serialized items can only be backflushed if in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session the Serials in Inventory check box is cleared, and the Register Serial Issue During As Built field is Yes. In all other cases, serialized items cannot be backflushed.

If the serialized item is lot-controlled, the lot from which the items are backflushed is based on the outbound method ( Last In First Out (LIFO), First In First Out (FIFO)) as is defined in the Items - Warehousing (whwmd4500m000) details session.

Count Point

If this check box is selected, the operation is a count point.

Use Transfer Batch

If this check box is selected, you can stat work on a routing operation before the preceding operation is finished.

Fixed Duration

An indication whether the production time is fixed, or is dependent on the order quantity. If the production time has a fixed duration, then it equals the cycle time. If it is indicated that the production time does not have a fixed duration, the cycle time is multiplied by the order quantity.

For example, baking one bread in the oven takes one hour. Baking a hundred breads at once also takes a fixed duration of one hour.

Labor Resources for Setup

The number of employees needed for setup, expressed in full-time equivalent.

Labor Resources for Production

The number of employees needed, expressed in full-time equivalent.

Transfer Batch Quantity

The quantity of product that must be finished to start the next routing operation if the Use Transfer Batch check box is selected.
