| # Setup Classes and States by Routing Operation (tirou1104m000) Use this session to check the setup classes and setup states that are linked to the operations of a specific item. Related topics Backgrounds on setup classes and setup states in LN To define setup classes and setup states Manufactured Item The items that can be manufactured end products and subassemblies. A manufactured item is usually associated with a bill of material and a routing that describe the components used to assemble it and the manner in which it is assembled. Manufactured items are also referred to as production items and can be purchased. Routing The sequence of operations required to manufacture an item. For each operation, the task, machine, and work center are specified, as well as information about setup time and cycle time. 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. Setup Class A type of item characteristic that indicates how a machine must be set up to produce the item. The setup class determines the changeover time for a machine or a tool between two operations. A setup class consists of a series of setup states. In a matrix of setup states the specific changeover times can be defined. Example Examples of setup classes are color and thickness. If your setup class is color, the setup states can be red, green, white, black, and so on. Setup State An item's characteristic that is linked to an operation. Depending on the setup states of two successive operations, a machine's changeover takes longer or less long. A series of setup states form a setup class. Example If your setup class is color, examples of setup states are red, green, white, black, and so on. |
