Perform Line Operation Analysis

Explanation

To view a consolidated line routing for all the parts on a line, and to compare the operation details to the takt time as a simple line balance analysis, click the Operation Analysis tab. Also select the display time unit (second, minute or hour). You can pick the preferred routing alternatives to use for each part (the default value is denoted by an asterisk (*)), and view a comparison of the operation durations relative to the calculated takt time, using either a specified lot size or a per unit value (assuming it is a single piece flow). The output displays comparisons of the operation setup and the run times to the takt time calculated earlier. 

The consolidated line routing is constructed by aligning operations across all the line parts into a single view. The line routing is sequenced according to the operation number; assuming that identical operation numbers must represent identical operations as long as they are for the same work center.
