Routing Operations (plsch0151m000)

Use this session to view the list of operations defined for the routing process.

Field Information

Scenario
The code of the scenario.
Site
The code of the site.
Item
The code of the item produced by the routing process.
Routing
The routing number.
Revision
Operation
The code of the operation linked to the routing process.
Operation Type

The type of operation linked to the routing process.

Allowed values

Standard
This operation type must have a setup time or production rate defined. A qualified team must be assigned to the operation.
Fixed Duration
The fixed-time operation, that is generally used to model subcontracted operations. The time required for this operation is always the same and does not vary with lot size. A standard setup time must be specified. The production rate is not required. A qualified team can be assigned to the type of operation. However, this is not mandatory.
Synchronized Batching
The operation used to perform Production order steps simultaneously, for the same machine to fill any available space. A qualified team must be assigned to the operation with a production rate and setup time, and the capacity used by the operation on the machine must be defined.
Qualified Team
The code of the qualified team assigned to the operation.
Fixed Duration
The production time for a specific qualified team assigned to the operation.

Cycle Type Rate

Indicates if the production time is calculated in terms of lots, based on to the production rate specified for each qualified team.

Example: A mold has space for 10 cakes. One lot comprises of 10 cakes. The baking time for one lot is 1 hour. Therefore, baking rate for the lot is 10 cakes/hour and the total cycle time to bake 15 cakes is 2 hours (1 hour for 10 cakes, 1 hour for 5 cakes).

This check box is not selected, production time is calculated in proportion to the quantity of items produced, based on to the production rate defined for each qualified team.

Example: A mold has space for 10 cakes. One lot comprises of 10 cakes. The baking time for one lot is 1 hour. Therefore, baking rate for the lot is 10 cakes/hour and the total cycle time to bake 15 cakes is 1 1/2 hours.

Save Setup

Indicates if a setup must always be scheduled before the operation begins. Else, a setup is scheduled for each operation respective of the preceding operations, in the same work team.

Standard Rate Quantity
Delay Type

Indicates the type of delay the Scheduling Engine considers before a setup can be scheduled on the operation.

Allowed values

No Delay
A setup can be scheduled immediately for the operation. Waiting for the item to be received or for the predecessor operation to be completed, is not required.
Note: When a Production order step is delayed, suspended or has a dynamic starting constraint, the setup can be done before the imposed date.
Item
A setup cannot be scheduled until the item is received.
Predecessor
A setup cannot be scheduled until the predecessor operation is completed.
Item and Predecessor
A setup is scheduled just before the start of the production, because the operation must received the item and the predecessor operation must be completed.
Capacity Used
The machine capacity of the qualified team is utilized by the operation for each item produced.
Transfer Lot Quantity
The lot quantity that can be carried over to the next operation. This quantity is part of the total lot quantity to be manufactured.
Transfer Delay
The time period between two operation. If the transfer lot quantity is specified, the next operation starts after this specified time period and the completion of the first lot.

Transfer Percentage

Indicates if the value specified in the Transfer Lot Quantity field can be considered as a percentage.

Number of Lots
The number by which the lot is split, for the operation.
Whole Quantity Lot

Indicates if lots with quantities that are not whole integers are allowed. If this value is set to Yes, lot quantities are rounded off.

Quantity per Lot
The number determines how lot splitting is to be done on the operation.

Example: If the quantity to produce is 100 and you enter 2 in this field, when lot splitting is done, each lot has a quantity of 2. Therefore, a quantity of 100 is split into 50 lots of 2.

Lot size
The number of items the Scheduling Engine schedules, simultaneously. For example, if this value is 2, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine schedules lots with 2 items.
Minimum Operation Quantity
The minimum number of items that are produced by one work team before work is distributed to another machine, in the parallel work team.
Max Parallel Number
The maximum number of parallel work teams that can carry out work for the operation. If the value in this field is an integer other than 1, you can determine the number of simultaneous work teams the Scheduling Engine can use based on the value specified in the Transfer Lot field.
