         <Paragraph>This session displays
        the work teams defined for the assignment and line station. You can also
        display the number of operators for each work team. This data is used for work

         <Paragraph>Work teams can be
        defined (in Line Assembly Control) for each assignment and assigned to line
        stations. The assignments for the assembly line and for the line stations are
        displayed in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc5510m000" role="session">Assembly Line - Assignments (tiasc5510m000)</Link> session and in the <Link href="/baanerp/ti/asc/tiasc5520m000" role="session">Assembly Line - Assignments and Line Stations (tiasc5520m000)</Link> session.</Paragraph>

         </Header>
         <FuncDesc>A set of consecutive line stations in which FAS (Final Assembly
		Schedule) items are manufactured. The items are manufactured by passing the
		items from line station to line station and by carrying out operations at each
		line station. An assembly line is subdivided into a number of line segments
		separated by buffers. An assembly line can be either a main line or a supplying
		line.</FuncDesc>

         <FuncDesc>A work center that is part of an assembly line. A line station
		is used in the production of FAS (final assembly schedule) items. A line
		station can have multiple positions, which enables more than one item to be
		present in one line station.</FuncDesc>

               <ListIntro>Assignments are defined for an assembly line. For each
			 assignment, you specify the cycle time and its activity ranges, which are the
			 period and time ranges for which the assignment is effective. The process
			 characteristics that you define for an assignment include:</ListIntro>
               <ListItem>Man occupation</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Machine occupation</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Work team</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Operations</ListItem>
            </List>
            <Paragraph>These process characteristics are linked to other assignments
		  that are, in turn, linked to the assembly assignment. When an assignment is in
		  effect, the assignments that are linked to it are also in effect.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>Two types of assignments exist, both of which exist at the
		  same time. The average assignment is used for more general purposes, whereas
		  the nonaverage assignment has a very specific period and time range.</Paragraph>
            <List>
               <ListItemHead>Average assignments</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>Use an average cycle time that is based on the cycle times
			 of the nonaverage assignments for the day. The average assignment is used in
			 planning. Planning is based on cycle time, calendar, and availability type.</ListItem>
               <ListItemHead>Nonaverage assignments</ListItemHead>
               <ListItem>
                  <Paragraph>Use time-based cycle times that are based on the
				operations performed on the line. The cycle time can vary according to the time
				range that is provided for the assignment.</Paragraph>
                  <Paragraph>Nonaverage assignments are used to define order content.
				For generated (nonfrozen) orders, the order content is based on the first
				active, nonaverage assignment. For frozen orders, the order content is based on
				the nonaverage assignment that is in effect at the time that the order is
				frozen.</Paragraph>
                  <Paragraph>Nonaverage assignments are also used to offset the lead
				time during sequencing. When the order is sequenced, a lead time is calculated
				for every order. This lead time is based on the cycle times, and the applicable
				cycle time is retrieved from the nonaverage assignment.</Paragraph>

            <Paragraph>An average cycle time is not a mathematical average, but is a
		  value that you consider to be a suitable average for the nonaverage cycle times
		  over the course of a full day.</Paragraph>
