Calculate Lead Time for Routing Alternate
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate the lead time of a routing alternate.
The calculation is initiated from the Calculate Lead Time dialog. To access the
dialog, click Calculate Lead Time either from the Alternate section on
the Routing page, from the Routing Alternate page or from the
Routing Alternates page. In the dialog, specify the settings to use. If you want to
compare the calculated values for the Calculation Lot Size, that is equal to the Std Lot
Size of the part, with the values calculated for another simulation lot size you can enter that simulation
lot size in the Simulation Lot Size field. Then click OK to run the calculation.
For additional information see Routing Lead Time
Calculation.
Prerequisites
- A part with a defined routing alternate must exist.
- For the system effects to be applied as Update or Update also expected for
Update Options, the routing alternate must be valid for today.
System Effects
- The system calculates and updates the routing alternate lead times based on the Calculation Lot
Size. If a Simulation Lot Size was entered, the system also calculates the routing
alternate lead times based on the Calculation Lot Size but does not save these values.
- If the calculation was performed with Update Options set to Update or
Update also expected for a default routing alternate (where Alternate is set to
*), the following will be updated based on the calculated values:
- Manufacturing Lead Time on Inventory Part/Main
- The fixed and variable lead times by day and by hour and Fixed and Variable Lead Time
Source on Inventory Part/Manufacturing and Manufacturing Part
Attributes page.
- If the calculation was performed with Update Lead Time set to Update also
expected for a default routing alternate, the Expected Lead Time on
Inventory Part/Main is updated.
