Work center/Capacity variation

• Production site (field MFGFCY)

The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on its authorizations.

• Work center (field EXTWST)

The work center is attached to a work center group. It corresponds to a production resource on which a routing operation is carried out.

This is an entity for which it is requested to plan loads and track production times.

Each work center is associated with an attachment site.

• Start date (field STRDAT)

This field identifies the 1st day of the period for which the distribution key is defined.
It is possible to define up to 53 periods.
Periods must be consecutive with no blank period.
The curve must be defined from the 01/01 to the 12/31.

• End date (field ENDDAT)

This field identifies the last day of the period for which the distribution key is defined.
The periods must be consecutive and there should not be any empty period.
The curve should be defined from the 01/01 to 12/31.

• Suggested work order (field OWS)

Filter on the load type.

• Work order planned (field OWP)

• Work order firm (field OWF)

• Selection formula (field FORMULE)

Enter, select or build an Enterprise Management filter calculation expression using the formula editor.

 An error message is displayed if you refer to tables which are not generally used by the configurator, or to unknown variables.

• No. of resources (field VARWSTNBR)

The number of work centers makes it possible to manage the number of resources for identical resources in order to carry out an operation.

For instance, a labor work center may comprise 3 people. This is indicated by entering 3 in the number of resources.

• Production site (field MFGFCY)

The production site associated with the user is proposed by default. It can be modified by another site authorized for the operator, depending on its authorizations.

• field FCYDES

• Work center (field EXTWST)

The planned work center is attached to a work center group. It corresponds to a production resource on which a routing operation is to be carried out.
It is an entity for which the load needs to be planned and/or the production times need to be tracked.

• field FMODIF

Box checked: Update of the operation corresponding to the line, if the number of lines has been modified and the re-scheduling of the WO.

• Order type (field TYPORD)

• Entry (field MFGNUM)

This field displays the work order number (unique ID).
This number is automatically or manually generated upon each creation.
Click the Selectionicon to open the list of work orders (which only includes 'Firm' or 'Closed' work orders) and select a work order.

• Operation (field OPENUM)

This field displays the sequence number of this operation.

The operations in a routing used for manufacturing a product are assigned operation numbers. Each operation number corresponds to a task carried out on a given resource, with given times.

• Start date (field OPESTR)

The subcontract operation start date is determined by default as follows:
End date - Lead time.
The end date is updated when it is modified. If the calculated end date is later than the receipt date of the released product, the latter is modified.

This field is managed depending on the setup of the entry transaction of the subcontract order.

• End date (field OPEEND)

By default the subcontract service end date cannot be entered. It is automatically assigned with the receipt date of the released product.
This field is managed based on the setup of the entry transaction of the subcontract order.

• No. of resources (field EXTWSTNBR)

The number of work centers makes it possible to manage the number of resources for identical resources in order to carry out an operation.

For instance, a labor work center may comprise 3 people. This is indicated by entering 3 in the number of resources.

• No. labor facilities (field EXTLABNBR)

This is the number of resources of the labor work center.

• Setup time (field SETTIM)

The setting time is a fixed amount of time necessary to prepare the work center. It is part of the work center load.

It is expressed in the time unit specified:

• either in the routing header (for a routing operation),
• or in the standard operation itself.
  

• Run time (field OPETIM)

The operation time is the time necessary to manufacture the product described in the routing.

The operating time unit can be:

• expressed in hours or minutes (see the time unit),
• assigned to 1, 100, 1000 or a lot of units of the operation based on the management unit,
• proportional or fixed based on the type of operation time
  Example: Time unit = Hours Time type = proportional Management unit = Time for 100 Operation time = 2 Operation unit = Kg Finished product unit = A REL-OPE conversion coefficient = 0.5
  The operation time is equal to 2 hours for 100 Kg. If the Work Order is launched for 1000 units of finished product, the time necessary to produce this operation is 10 hours to obtain 500 Kg.

• Operation UOM (field OPEUOM)

Work order operation quantities are expressed in the operation unit. Use this operation unit to express operating time in a different unit to that of the product being produced by the routing.

For example, a product managed by unit is subject to three different operations, none of which produce intermediate stock:

• Mixing time (operation 1) is expressed for a lot with Kilogram as the unit;
• Extrusion time (operation 2) is a rate in meters per hour;
• Cutting time (operation 3) is expressed in hours per unit.

There is no need to create semi-finished products for each production phase.

The operation unit is associated with a conversion coefficient for the stock unit of the product being produced by the routing and the operation unit.

• Quantity (field QTY)

It is the allocated quantity expressed in UOM unit.
