Process Types

Process Types are classifications that represent the specific type of operations performed in a plant. This helps to standardize processes and provides a clear structure for managing various manufacturing or production activities. You can set up a process type for each common type of process. For example, if a plant includes a coating, slitting, and packing processes, you can configure three distinct process types for each.

To view and configure process types, navigate to Configuration > Assets > Process Types.

You can use these options on the Process Types screen:

• Add: Allows you to create a new process type.
• Edit: Allows you to modify the existing process types.
• Delete: Allows you to delete the existing process types.
• Retire: Allows you to retire the existing process types. You cannot assign retired process types to lines. Retired process types can be excluded from reports unless included in the report’s filter options.
• Copy: Allows you to create a new process type by copying the existing process types.
• Lines: Allows you to view the lines using the process types.
