CIP modeling

A CIP stage is required for CIP to be considered for specific resources. The function of the CIP stage is similar to the decoupled stage. Therefore, only decoupled main product groups and decoupled main products can be used. The stage specifies the resource groups that require CIP operations. The selected resource groups can only be specified. The combination resource groups are not supported in the CIP stage. Consequently, the steps are created for this stage, similar to the normal process steps. The CIP rules can be defined for the resources related to the CIP process step resource groups.

  1. Create a stage of CIP type.
    Note: When you create the stage, select CIP stage from the stage type list in the New Stage window.
  2. Create a process step of CIP stage type to create a CIP process step.
    Note: When you create the process step, select a stage of CIP type in the stage list of the New Process Step window. The new process step is a CIP process step.
  3. Perform these operations to create a CIP rule for a resource:
    1. Select a resource.
    2. Specify the CIP process step and its settings in the CIP tab of the Resource Entry window.
