The operation number defines the sequence for the operations that the production is to run. When you create a new production route, the system automatically suggests 10 as the first operation number, and the following operation numbers are suggested in increments of 10. You can change both parts manually. If you create simultaneous operations, operations that appropriate several work centers at the same time, the operations must be created by using the same operation number. For more information, see the Route operations on route version (form)and Work centers (form). |
|
|
Priority is used to control simultaneous operations. Simultaneous operations are characterized by their ability to appropriate several work centers at the same time, for example, a machine and a tool. You can do this by giving all operations to be executed at the same time the same operation number. You can specify which operation is to be the primary one. The primary operation should be the operation loading the work center that is the bottleneck for the simultaneous operations. A work center regarded as the bottleneck on one route, and therefore defined as the primary work center for simultaneous operations on this route, can be a secondary work center on another route. The times that you specify for the primary operation are used automatically with the secondary operations. If there are no simultaneous operations on a route, all operations are created as primary. |
|
|
The operation is identified here, and a base operation, created in Operations (form), is referred to. As soon as the base operation has been selected, a series of fields in the current operation are filled in with values from the referred base operation, for example, times and work centers. However, those values can be changed subsequently, as needed. |
|

Use to define the expected over-consumption for the operation. must be positive. The over-consumption is included both in the calculation of material consumption and in the work center consumption for the current operation. You can also use the error percentage to calculate the quantity to be started for each production, because an error percentage means that more materials and work centers must be issued in order to produce the scheduled quantity. is automatically filled in with the error percentage for the operation that you select in the route. You can correct in the production route. If several operations in the route have error percentages, you can see the summed error percentage for this and previous operations in the Accumulated field. For more information, see the Production route (form). |
|
|
This field displays the calculated accumulated for this operation in the route. The accumulated percentage is used in calculating the over consumption of materials and work center time for the operation. The calculation is as follows: Accumulated % = Accumulated % (for the following operation) * 100 / (100 - ) The error percentage is also summed in the production route in the field .See the Production route (form). The description of also displays an example of the use of . |

The number of work centers involved if a work center group is specified in the . The field will always contain the value 1 if you have specified a work center in the . Example: The operation is associated with a resource group composed of 5 machines. The process time for the operation is 3 hours, and 2 is specified in . For operations scheduling, 6 hours will be reserved for the work center group. For job scheduling, 3 hours will be reserved for 2 different work centers. In the Production route (form)for the production, the work center quantity is filled in automatically with the quantity specified here, but can always be changed for the current operation in the production route. |
|
|
Load displays the percentage of maximum capacity that has been reserved. The maximum capacity is specified in the work calendar. See also the field on the work calendar and the field on capacity reservations. |
|
|
Properties indicate an operation's characteristics. If the production is job scheduled with limited capacity and limited properties, work center capacity will only be reserved for a period during which the work center has this property. |
|
|
The route group controls how an operation will be calculated, how feedback will be given on the operation, how it will be scheduled, job-managed, and which type of calendar will be used. Route groups are managed in the Create route groupsform. In the Production route (form)for a production, the route group will be filled in automatically with the route group specified in the Operations (form)when a is given. However, the route group can be changed for the current operation in the production route. When you create new operations in the Operations (form), the route group will be filled in automatically with the route group specified in the Work center groups (form)or the Work centers (form). |

Used for setting up work centers. You can specify a cost price for the setup category that will be used to make a cost estimate for a production order. Cost categories are managed in the Cost categories (form)dialog box. The cost is calculated as follows: * * / 100 * * . The sales price for the setup time is calculated by using the cost group from the cost category (setup category). Each cost group can have one or more profit settings and corresponding profit percentages. When you make a cost estimate for the production, you can specify which profit setting, and therefore which profit percentage, to use when calculating the sales price. The cost group is managed in Cost groups (form). |
|
|
The run time category that will be used when the operation is run. You can specify the cost price that will be used to estimate the production order. Cost categories are managed in the Cost categories (form). The cost is calculated as follows: * * ( / ) * * / 100 * * . The sales price for the operator time is calculated by using the cost group from Cost groups (form). Each cost group can have one or more profit settings and corresponding profit percentages attached. When you make an estimate for the production, you can specify which profit setting, and therefore which profit percentage, to apply when the sales price is calculated. |
|

Displays the quantity category that will be used when the operation is run. With the quantity category, you can specify the cost price used when you make a cost estimate for the production order. The cost is calculated as follows: * * . The sales price for the quantity category is calculated using the cost group. Each cost group can have one or more profit settings with a corresponding profit percentage. When you make a cost estimate for production, you can specify which profit setting, and therefore which profit percentage, to use when calculating the sales price. The cost group is managed in the Cost groups (form). The Production route (form)is filled in automatically with the quantity category specified in the Operations (form)when an has been specified. However, the quantity category can, be changed for the current operation in the production route. When you create new operations in the Operations (form), the quantity category field is filled in automatically with the quantity category specified in the Work center groups (form)or Work centers (form). However, the quantity category can be changed for the current operation. |

If it has been specified that a user formula can be used, this field contains an operation-based value. Ordinarily, the field contains the number of capacity units of the current work center that will be used for the production of a component of the finished item. The following is an example of how process time is calculated by resource capacity. If, for example, a machine with 1,000 rotations per hour is used to perform the operation, where 2 pieces of the finished item are finished per rotation, the production of finished items per hour will be 2,000 pieces. You specify 1,000 for the work center's capacity per hour, and set the formula factor for the operation in the route to 0.5 (P). This formula yields the following calculation: process quantity per hour = 1,000 (K) / 0.5 (P) = 2,000 pieces. |
|
|
The queue time before the operation can start. The queue time must be positive. You set up the field in the route group, where you can determine whether the queue time should be scheduled and which calendar should be used. You can use the queue time, for example, with sub-supplier work. |
|
|
The setup time, which must be a positive value, is the fixed time it takes to prepare a work center. The time is scheduled according to the calendar for the work center and is independent of the production quantity. In scheduling, a capacity load is also registered for the time on the work center. The setup time is filled in automatically with the setup time specified for the operation route when you select the operation route. However, the setup time can be changed in the current production route. |
|
|
Run time is the time that is required to produce the process quantity. If you did not enter a conversion factor in the field for the operation relation or the for the work center, the process time is automatically displayed as hours with two decimals. If you did enter a value in for the operation relation, that value will override the value for the work center. Process per quantity must be a positive value. For a description of conversion to other time intervals, see the description of . The operation's Routing group (form)determines how time is scheduled. The system calculates time in the following manner: Run time * ( / 100) * (1 + Accumulated) * / . If you selected Capacity in the for the production route, the process time is always set to 1, whereas process per quantity is calculated by together with the number of capacity units that you specified for the current resource under . |
|
|
Quantity that can be produced in the specified process time. |
|
|
Transport time for transporting items between two work centers or from the last operation to inventory. How Transit time is used depends on how the operation's route group is set up. The transport time must be a positive value. |
|
|
Queue time after the time the items must wait after the operation is finished before the next operation can start. The value in Queue time must be positive. The field is scheduled according to the setup for the route group in and can use either the Gregorian calendar or the current working-time calendar. For example, you can use the field to refer to the drying of items before the next operation can start. |
|
|
The conversion factor for those times specified for the operation for conversion to hours with two decimals. Conversion uses the following formula: Hours equal operating hours * . Examples
