| # Process Variables by Operation (Step) (tisfc0132m000) Use this session to display and modify the process variables that are linked to a production order with regard to a specific operation, or with regard to a specific operation/operation step combination. If the value of the Operation Step field is 0 (zero), the process variables that are displayed are directly linked to the operation. Note If you want to display or modify all process variables that are linked to a production order, irrespective of the operation or the operation step, use the Process Variables by Production Order (tisfc0131m000) session. Related topics Microrouting Production Order An order to produce a specified quantity of an item on a specified delivery date. Production Order The status assigned to a production order, which indicates how far a production order has been processed. For example, Planned, Documents Printed, or Released. Operation One of a series of steps in a routing that are carried out successively to produce an item. The following data is collected during a routing operation: The task. For example, sawing. The machine used to carry out the task (optional). For example, sawing machine. The place where the task is carried out (work center). For example, woodwork. The number of employees required to carry out the task. This data is used to compute order lead times, to plan production orders and to calculate cost prices. Operation Step A suboperation connected to a routing operation. An operation step can contain information such as, instructions, process information, and tools information. If the value of this field is 0 (zero), the process variables that are displayed are directly linked to the operation. Process Variable A setting or an input value related to a machine, a tool, or to process quality that is relevant to carry out an operation or an operation step. For example, cutting depth, cutting speed, and temperature. Upper Control Limit The highest allowed value of the process variable. Lower Control Limit The lowest allowed value of the process variable. Target Value The objective value of the process variable. Deviation from Target Value The way in which the process variable's upper control limit and lower control limit is determined. Note The target value, the deviation, and the way in which the deviation is determined, is defined in the Operation (Step) - Process Variables (tirou1111m000) details session. Target Value The unit in which the process variable is measured. Lower Control Limit The unit or percentage in which the process variable is measured. Upper Control Limit The unit or percentage in which the process variable is measured. Operation The status assigned to an operation. For example, Planned, Ready to Start, or Completed. This status indicates how far an operation has proceeded. |
