Define Schedule Progress Points

Explanation

Use this activity to define schedule progress points. Progress points are one or more fixed points at which you report progress against production schedules for each production line. These points need only be defined if you want to report progress at an intermediate stage rather than at the end of the manufacturing process. This task is to be performed by a system administrator or equivalent person.

If progress points are defined for a production line, then all production must pass through each progress point. Note that there are restrictions on adding or removing progress points once production is reported against a production line. 

Prerequisites

This activity has the following prerequisites:

• The routings must have been defined for the production schedule parts such that similar series or routing steps occur at the same point along the production line.

System Effects

As a result of this activity:

• You define progress points for a production line.
• This information is used in establishing production schedules and in the backflush completion process.
