Process Engineering

Process engineering defines the assembly process for end items.

Process engineering includes processes such as these:

  • Defining and assigning the operations to line stations

  • Linking flattened assembly parts to operations

  • Defining assignments and performing line balancing

  • Defining and assigning line rules to line segments

Buffers and line stations

You can use the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session to create buffers. Each line segment must start with a buffer. At the buffer, the orders wait to be processed and can be rescheduled so that they are carried out in a different sequence.

You can define the line station types in the Stations - Line Segments (tiasl1551m000) sessions.

Assembly Lines

You can use the Assembly Lines (tiasl1530m000) session to create an assembly line.

You can view which line segments belong to the assembly line in the Assembly Line - Line Segments (tiasl1541m000) session. You can view which lines stations belong to the assembly line in the Line Segment - Stations (tiasl1550m000) session.
