Calculate Routing Lead Time
Explanation
This activity is used to calculate the lead times of routing alternates for one or several parts at a site.
The calculation is initiated from the Calculate Routing Lead Time assistant that is
accessed from the navigator. In the assistant, specify the settings to use and click Finish. You
specify whether you want to run the calculation for one part at a time or for all parts in a specific site. The
calculation runs in the background, allowing you to continue working with the system as usual. For additional
information see Routing Lead Time Calculation.
Prerequisites
A part with a defined alternate on a routing, that has not been phased out, must exist.
System Effects
- The routing alternate lead times on routings valid today and in the future are calculated for a part or for
all parts on a site. The lead time fields on Routing, Routing
Alternate and Routing Alternates pages are updated based on the
calculation.
- If the calculation was performed with Update Lead Time set to Update or
Update also expected, the fixed and variable lead times by day and by hour fields and
Fixed and Variable Lead Time Source on Inventory Part/Manufacturing
and Manufacturing Part Attributes pages and the Manufacturing Lead
Time on Inventory Part/Main are updated for:
- Parts with Part Type set to Manufactured or Manufactured
Recipe, based on the calculated lead times for default routing alternate (where
Alternate is set to *) on the routing with Routing Type
set to Manufacturing, and valid today.
- Parts with Part Type set to Remanufactured, based on the calculated
lead times for the default routing alternate on the routing with Routing Type set to
Remanufacturing, and valid today.
- Parts with Part Type set to Purchased, Disassembly
Component, By-Product and Co-Product with only one type of routing
valid today, based on the calculated lead times for this default routing alternate. Parts with routing
revisions for more than one routing type valid today will not be updated.
- If the calculation was performed with Update Lead Time set to Update also
expected, also the Expected Lead Time on Inventory Part/Main
will be updated based on the calculations for the scenarios mentioned above.
