- Description
- Operation Specifications
-
- 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.
- 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, according to the production rate specified for each qualified team. The production rate defines the minimum time necessary to produce one lot of the specified quantity.
Example: A mold has space for 10 cakes. One lot is 10 cakes. The baking time for one lot is 1 hour. The baking rate for the lot is 10 cakes/hour. The total cycle time to bake 15 cakes is 2 hours (1 hour for 10 cakes, 1 hour for 5 cakes).
When this check box is not selected, production time is calculated in proportion to the quantity of items produced, according to the production rate defined for each qualified team.
Example: A mold has space for 10 cakes. One lot is 10 cakes. The baking time for one lot is 1 hour. The baking rate for the lot is 10 cakes/hour. The total cycle time to bake 15 cakes is 1 1/2 hours.
- 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.
- Save Setup
-
Indicates if a setup must always be scheduled before the operation begins. Else, a setup is scheduled for each operation no matter the preceding operations in the same work team.

- Transfer Specifications
-
- Transfer Lot Quantity
-
The transfer lot quantity is part of the total lot quantity to be manufactured.
The transfer lot can be carried over to the next operation. For example, if this field is set to 1, as soon as one item is finished at this operation, it can go on to the next operation.
If the transfer lot is set to 0, the whole lot quantity ordered for the operation must be completely processed before proceeding to the next operation (no overlap or accumulation basket).
- Transfer Delay
- The period between one operation and the next. If a transfer lot is used, the next operation starts after the first lot is completed plus the transfer delay.

- Transfer Percentage
-
Indicates if the value entered in the Transfer Lot Quantity field can be considered as a percentage.
Example: In the Transfer Lot Quantity field you enter 5, and the Transfer Percentage indicator is enabled. If the total lot is 1000, as soon as 50 items are produced, it can be transferred to the next operation. The value in the Transfer Lot Quantity field is considered as a percentage, in this case 5%.
- Lot Splitting
-
- Number of Lots
-
The number determines how lot splitting is to be done on the operation. Regardless of the quantity to be produced, there is always a fixed number of lots.
Example: If the quantity to produce is 100 and you enter a 2 in this field, when lot splitting is done, the quantity is split into 2 lots of 50.
- Whole Quantity Lot
-
Indicates if lots with quantities that are not whole integers are allowed. If the indicator is enabled, lot quantities are rounded off. If cleared, lots with fractional quantities are allowed (example: 10.5).
- 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.
- Other Specifications
-
- Work Team
-
- Lot size
- The lot size for a parallel work team. It defines the number of items the Scheduling Engine schedules at one time. For example, if the value of this field is 2, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine schedules in lots of 2 items.
- Minimum Operation Quantity
- The minimum number of items that need to be 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 on this operation. If the value in this field is other than 1, you can control the number of simultaneous work teams the Scheduling Engine can use with the value in the Transfer Lot field.
