Machines (Machine Types) (tirou0102m000)

Use this session to select or enter a machine, and to maintain machine data for a specific site. This data includes the rate for the machine costs and the machine capacity.

Whether the machine rate data is used for the actual costing of production orders depends on the setting of the Process Hours using field in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session. If the Process Hours using field is set to Actual Labor Rates, the machine rate that is defined in this session and the labor rates from the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, form the basis for actual costing.

On the appropriate menu you can choose:

  • Tools, to start the Machine - Tools (tirou0110m000) session.
  • Where-Used, to start the Routing Operations (tirou1102m000) session in which you can view the routing operation(s) in which a specific machine is used.
  • Task Relationships, to start the Task Relationships (tirou0104m000) session in which you can list and maintain relationships between tasks, machines, and work centers.
Note: If you started this session by zooming, you can only find and select a record.

Field Information

Site

The site ID.

Note: Only visible if multisite functionality is active.

Machine

machine

Work Center

The work center where the machine is installed.

This field is used in a number of sessions, such as the Calculate Resources (tirou0201m000) session. Work centers must be predefined in the Work Centers (tirou0101m000) session.

Machine Rate

The machine rate depends on criteria such as:

  • Depreciation of the machine.
  • Costs of operating the machine.
  • Costs of using the machine room.

The machine rate is used in actual production order costing if the Process Hours using field in the Production Order Parameters (tisfc0100s000) session is Actual Labor Rates. In this case, the machine rate, together with the labor rate defined in the Employees - General (tccom0101m000) session, forms the basis for actual costing.

The actual costs consist of:

Machine Costs = Operating Hours * Machine Rate

Labor Costs = Working Hours * Labor Rate

If you cannot determine an accurate machine rate, you must calculate an average rate based on the total machine costs. This rate must be realistic with respect to the machine.

Cost Component

Week Capacity [Hours]

The machine's normal number of operating hours per week. This value is used to determine machine utilization, and is displayed as Normal Capacity in the Machine Utilization by Week (tisfc1504m000) session.

Basic Day Capacity

The machine's normal number of operating hours per day. This value is used to determine machine utilization, and is displayed as Normal Capacity in the Machine Utilization by Day (tisfc1505m000) session.

Desired Queue

The difference between the planned output and planned input of a work center that the user wants. This value is the default for initial queue calculations.

Manufacturing Reporting
MES Reporting

If this check box is selected, reporting of produced quantities is done by the Manufacturing Execution System.

MES Workplace

The ID used by the MAS to identify the machine used to manufacture product.

Note: 

The selected machine must be linked to a work center that represents the MES.

The work center must:

  • have only one (1) machine linked.
  • The Default Labor Resource must be defined in the Work Center (tirou0601m000) session.
