production lines. To set up multiple production lines for an item, set the
Primary Line field to No and use Line Allocation Maintenance
(18.22.1.11) to set the percent of an item’s production for each line.
The production rate for an item on a production line is equal to that of the
operation with the lowest production rate. A production line is no faster
than its slowest operation.
Production rates can vary by shift or day. You can adjust the basic
production rate for an item by changing the rate factor in the Productivity
field in Shift Maintenance (18.22.1.22).
Use the effective date associated with the production rate to indicate
changes in a line when items are phased in or out of production or when
rates increase or decrease at a certain date.
Setting Up Line Allocations
Within a supply site, items can be produced on one or more production
lines. The line allocation specifies how production is distributed among
multiple lines.
To set up production line allocations, use Line Allocation Maintenance
(18.22.1.11). Set up line allocations for items that can be produced on
multiple production lines within a site. The line percentages must total
100%.
Use Line Allocation Inquiry (18.22.1.12) to view line allocations by site
and item number.
