Formula Details

Ingredients

Operations are a combination of one or more activities performed in a production batch and the resources used to perform those activities. The Operation Details Activities window links operations to activities. Use the Activity Factor and activity- resource association to enter an activity several times within an operation. Activity Factor simplifies data entry of the same activity several times by defining the specific number of times that an activity is performed during an operation. Activity factor is taken into consideration for planning and resource calculation purposes. Display the Operation Activity window to link one or more resources to a single activity. Go to the Operation Activity Line Edit window to edit individual activity lines.

Understanding Sequence Dependent Operations

Sequence dependency indicates that there is an additional setup time required when products are processed through each operation in a specific sequence. Enter an Activity required for this Operation. A Description of this activity displays.

Enter the Activity Factor to specify the number of times the activity is performed in this Operation.

For example, if a quality test must be performed at the beginning, middle, and end of a mixing time period, rather than defining the activity and

associated resources three times, use the Activity Factor or multiplier to indicate the number of iterations for the same activity.

Sequence Dependency is selected when the activity has a sequence dependent setup. It is cleared when there is no sequence dependency.

Enter the Offset Interval as the time delay from the start of the activity to the point where the resource is actually required.

Activity-Resource Details

The Operation Activity window assigns resources to each activity, and lets you edit a resource line once activities are associated with an operation. You access this window when you click Resources on the Operation Details Activities window. Charge calculates resource usage by capturing the number of passes required to process a step. This is based on the maximum capacity of the step as derived from specific resources used.

Throughput

Process units of measure and usage units of measure are derived from the plant resource if one is defined. You can override these values using this window. A process quantity is converted to an operation process quantity unit of measure if needed.

Process Quantity

This value combined with the Usage quantity defines the usage rate. For example, if a resource can mix 200 gallons per hour, enter 200 as the Process Quantity, 1 as the Usage, and the unit of measure for hours.

Scheduling Information

o Select Auxiliary for resources that work as companions with the primary resources to perform an activity in the Operation. These resources do not affect the rate of the Operation. For example, a primary resource in a mixing activity is a mixer with a throughput rate of 100 gallons per hour. An auxiliary resource is the worker who

operates the mixer. No matter how fast or slow the worker is, the mixer rate remains at a constant 100 gallons per hour.

o Select Primary to indicate that this is the rate determining resource. It limits or determines throughput. It is also referred to as the bottleneck or critical resource. There can only be one Primary per resource.

o Select Secondary to indicate the resource that would replace the primary resource when it is not available. This resource performs the same task as the primary resource. It is unconstrained, and it has usage. The Advanced Planning and Scheduling application does not schedule the secondary resource.

Enter the Count as the number of resources needed for the activity entered. For example, it two blenders are used for mixing, enter a 2 in the count.

Enter the Offset Interval as the time delay from the start of the activity to the point where the resource is actually required.

Scale Type

o Select Proportional Scaling if the resources change in a ratio that is proportional to the quantity of material being processed.

o Select Fixed if the resources do not change, regardless of the quantity of material being processed.

o Select Fixed By Charge if the resources change as a result of the number of charges specified.

Operation Resource Process Parameters

Process parameters are a component of the process instructions necessary to run resources during the batch process. They are usually machines or instruments and are the standard for executing a task. They can be generic or specific. Each industry and company uses different machines and instruments, and there are different requirements for recording process parameters.

A process parameter details information such as temperature, pressure, or time that is pertinent to the product, but does not fall into the classification of input or output. You can use process parameters as set points, comparison values, or in conditional logic.

Parameter Values

The following fields default from the process parameter set up in the planning application:

o Seq is the sequence of the resource process parameter.

o Parameter is the process parameter name. For example, Bath Temperature.

o Minimum is the lowest acceptable value for a numeric range type of process parameter.

o Maximum is the highest acceptable value for a numeric range type of process parameter.

o Units is the unit of measure for the process parameter

.

You can override certain process parameters at the operation and recipe levels. Click Reset Values to remove overrides set up for a process parameter. The following illustrates how the process parameter is reset.

The hierarchy is:

• Default value from the planning application

For example, if the default for a process parameter from the planning application is set to 10, you can override it at the operation level and at the recipe level. The following values are used for illustration:

• Recipe = 20

• Operation = 15

• Default value from the planning application = 10 If you click Reset Values for the process parameter on the:

• Recipe Details window, then the process parameter value changes from 20 to 15, the next step down in the hierarchy.

• Operation Activity Details window, then the process parameter value changes from 15 to 10.

If no override exists at the operation level, and you click Reset Values at the recipe level, then the process parameter value changes to 10, which is the original default value from the planning application.

The Routing Details window enables you to enter the details for a specific routing. Understanding the Enforce Step Dependency Indicator

When Enforce Step Dependency is selected, several business rules are applied:

• The Release Type field is set to Manual to indicate that the step must be released and completed manually.

• You cannot change the step dependency and step release type at the step level.

• All steps must be completed before you can complete a batch using this routing.

• All steps must be closed before you can close a batch using this routing.

• Business rules validate step start and completion dates and times for appropriate batch step rescheduling.
