Add DOP Operation
Explanation
This activity is used to manually add an operation to a DOP order, i.e. an operation not in the selected routing
revision/alternate.
To add a new operation click the new command on the Operations tab and enter
information about the operation.
- An operation must always be linked to a Work Center representing the production area where
the operation is carried out. A work center can represent a single machine, a group of machines, or an assembly
area. Optionally, you can specify the most suitable resource within the work center in the Preferred
Resource field. During scheduling, the system will prioritize assigning the operation to this
resource.
- Resource Share is by default 1, meaning that the full resource capacity is utilized for the
duration of the operation. If the operation utilizes part of the resource capacity, define the share in
Resource Share field or specify how much of the total capacity one unit will utilize in the
Resource Share per Unit field.
- Enter the unit of measure for the manufacturing time in the Factor Unit column.
- If you are specifying labor setup time, enter relevant values in the Setup Labor Class and Setup
Crew Size fields. Use an already existing value from available labor classes or enter an employee setup
qualification profile in the Employee Setup Qualification Profile field.
- If you are specifying labor run time, enter relevant values in the Labor Class and Crew Size
fields. Select from available labor classes or enter an employee qualification profile in the Employee
Qualification Profile field.
- If specifying overlap, enter the required value in the Overlap field and select the applicable unit in
the Overlap Unit field. If you want the setup time to be included in the overlap enable Setup Inside
Overlap.
Note: The meaning of operation overlap is how early a succeeding operation is allowed to start in relation
to its latest scheduled preceding operation start time.
- If you are specifying an outside operation, enter an outside operation item in the Outside Operation
Item field. Select a value from available parts. This part must be defined as a non-inventory purchase
part. The outside operation item shall have the same supplier as the outside work center, or if the outside work
center is not connected to a supplier, a valid supplier can be any active supplier connected to the purchase
part. If the operation is for an outside work center, select the Outside Operation Supply and Outside
Operation Reporting Level.
Prerequisites
- A DOP order in status Unreleased or Released must exist.
- The Allow Changes to DOP Structure setting must be enabled for the DOP header.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The operation is added to the DOP order. New shop orders created from this DOP order will inherit the
operation, however existing shop orders will not be updated.
- The start date is updated for the DOP order. For information on how this is done, see Plan DOP Orders.
- If the site has Schedule and Create Load for DOP Order Operations enabled, machine and labor
load of source Scheduled DOP are re-created for the DOP order operations based on the quantity
remaining to supply, plus the planned supply scrap for that quantity. This applies if the DOP order is for a
manufactured part and has the status Unreleased or Netted and Create
Pegged set to Pegged Orders.
