3.5 Create a new plan Procedure The first thing you need to do then is to create a plan. On this plan you will model the life cycle of the paperclip. 14. To create a new plan you can click on „Plans‟ in the object hierarchy and then right click in the display area and select „New.‟ A new plan will open in a new window. 15. Enter the name of the plan „Life Cycle Steel Paper Clip‟ and press enter. It is a great idea to save your plan regularly. 16. Save your plan now by clicking on the save icon in the plan window or by clicking „Object‟ and „Save.‟ 3.6 Adding a process You will now add process and flow information to the plan. GaBi databases contain predefined processes and flows and these can be easily added to the model. In order to manufacture the paperclip you need steel wire. So, this will be the first process that you add to the plan. Adding processes to a plan is as easy as dragging and dropping. But first, you need to locate the processes. There are 2 ways to do this in GaBi: The first is by manually expanding and collapsing the object hierarchy in the DB manager to search for the process you require. The second and quicker way is to use the GaBi search function. 17. Make sure you have the „Processes‟ object selected in the object hierarchy. This is important because it tells GaBi to search only for processes. 18. Click the „Search‟ icon and enter the name of the process you are looking for. You are looking for „Steel wire‟ so you enter this now and click „New search.‟ 32
Procedure GaBi now searches for all matches. Steel wire is exactly the process you are looking for. 19. Click on „Steel wire‟ and drag and drop it onto the plan. 3.7 Creating a new process You now need to add the paper clip bending process. 20. Try searching for the „Paper Clip Bending‟ process. You’ll notice that there are no matches. This means you need to create a new process. In GaBi this is really easy. 21. Right click in the plan and select „New process.‟ A new window will open where you can define the new process. 22. Enter the name „Paper Clip Bending,‟ click „Save‟ and close it. You have now added a new process. However, you need to define this in some more detail. 23. Right click on the process and open it by selecting „Details.‟ 33
