[en] Update product structure operation planned times (PRODTIMEUPDATE)

[en] The Update product structure operation planned times (PRODTIMEUPDATE) application is an extension of the Product structure planned time deviations (PRODTIMEDEV) application. It is used by production planners to further narrow down deviations between planned time and average time for Operations (OPR), and adjust those Operations (OPR) to a more accurate planned time.

[en] Application synergy
  1. [en] Product structure planned time deviations (PRODTIMEDEV) application - Identify deviations in total planned time of all Operations (OPR) and the average production time for Product structures (KIT).

  2. [en] Update product structure operation planned times (PRODTIMEUPDATE) application - View all Operations (OPR) for a selected Product (ART) with a structure. Adjust the planned time for Operations (OPR) based on the devitaions, specified by the user.

[en] Simplified workflow

[en] Situation: Deviations in planned and average production time has been found in the Product structure planned time deviations (PRODTIMEDEV) application. The planner opens the Update product structure operation planned times (PRODTIMEUPDATE) application to inspect the deviations and adjust accordingly.

  1. [en] Selects product.

  2. [en] Uses the fields in the header to adjust the deviation scope.

  3. [en] Identifies red arrows for Operations (OPR) with longer duration than the planned time, and green arrows for Operations (OPR) with shorter duration than the planned time.

  4. [en] Selects the appropriate action in the Actions column:

    1. [en] Edit product structure operation to manually adjust planned times.

    2. [en] Set product structure operation times to average.

  5. [en] Updates the structure which contains the Operations (OPR) with the Update structure button.

[en] Header

[en] The Header is used to select a Product (ART) with a Product structure (KITART) of type/class K, KA, KS or KM. These Products structures (KITART) contains Operations (OPR). The Operations' (OPR) setup, run and cleanup time is then displayed in the columns of the list.

[en] The Header is further used to define what a deviation in planned time is, noted with either a green or red arrow.

Arrows.jpg

[en] The Work order operation quantity field is used to set a range where only completed Work order operations (WOO), with a quantity within that range, are taken into account when calculating the average times.

[en] This is to verify that the deviation analysis is according to the users preferences.

[en] To adjust the value of the From or To field by one (1), click either the Up or Down icons.

[en] To input a specific value, click either field, and type the required value.

[en] Example scenario: The user wants the deviation analysis to differentiate between low quantity and high quantity productions.
