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.

Instruction A document identification that refers to a document containing specific instructions. These instruction documents can be displayed on the computer screen or on printed paper. Routing Unit The quantity of the manufactured item on which the routing is based. A routing quantity enables you to include very short operation times in the routing of an item. Example
Routing quantity | 100
Cycle time | 60 minutes
In a 60 minute time span, 100 items are produced. Consequently, the operation time of one item is 0.6 minute. Routing The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. |
