Standard Operations
Often, routings share one or more operations that are essentially the same.
For example, an automated packaging process may be the same
regardless of the color of the products packaged. To save work when
entering new routing operations, you can create template steps called
standard operations.
When you enter a new routing operation, automatically copy the standard
data to the routing by referencing the standard operation code. Then edit
the standard information as needed. Changes apply only to the new
routing—not to the standard operation you copied.
Note If you change a standard operation after referencing it on a routing,
the changes do not automatically apply to the existing routing. Use
Routing Update (14.13.7) to apply any changes you made to standard
operations and work centers to existing routings.
Use Standard Operation Maintenance (14.9) to set up standard operations.
Work Center and Machine. Enter codes for the work center and
machine that normally perform this operation.
Setup, Run, and Move Time. Enter the normal times, in decimal
hours, to process items during this operation. Run time is per unit;
setup and move time are independent of order size.
