Process resources

Processes are considered a type of resource representing the machines, or machine combinations, in the factory. For example, a packaging machine, a conveyor belt, and a tray loader in a series can be considered as a resource. A process resource can consist of a single machine or a number of machines grouped in series. A machine or a group of machines is considered as one resource when more than one batch cannot be allocated to it simultaneously. If you have specified transition matrices or transition rules, you can indicate which matrix or rules determines the changeover time for each resource. The use of a resource is indicated in the planning board as a function of time. Resources require to be grouped in resource groups before the resources can be assigned to stages. One process resource can be assigned to more than one resource group. A resource group must contain at least one or more resources.
