This activity allows you to specify routing schemes for various items. A Routing scheme determines what products flow in each of the link Ids defined for the plant. The links carry the material in the plant to the process units / warehouses or other physical elements. Hence the links may be configured to carry different products at different points in time. The plant may run one production process for a period, say palm oil manufacturing, and at some other point in time a different process, say, soya oil manufacturing and hence the same units and links will carry a different set of items at different times. Hence routing schemes are defined based on the production process. The routing scheme could be across process units
Select the “Maintain Item Routing Scheme” link under the “Continuous Process Model“ business component.
The “Maintain Item Routing Scheme” page appears.
Enter the following details in the header:
|
Routing Scheme |
The code identifying the routing scheme associated with the link.(Alphanumeric,32) |
|
Description |
The description of the routing scheme (Alphanumeric, 40). |
|
Physical Element Type |
Use the drop-down list box to select the physical element type. You can select “Process Area” or “Process Unit”. The system displays “Process Unit” by default on launch of the page. |
|
Physical Element |
The code identifying the physical element (Alphanumeric, 40). |
|
Help facility available. |
The system displays the following in the header.
|
Description |
The description of the physical element. |
Click the “Retrieve” pushbutton to retrieve the search results.
The system retrieves and displays the following details, based on the search criteria:
Enter the following details in the “Flow Information” multiline:
|
Link ID |
The code identifying the link id (Alphanumeric, 16). |
|
Item |
The code identifying the item that flows through the link (Alphanumeric, 32). |
|
Help facility available. | |
|
Variant |
The code identifying the variant of the item (Alphanumeric, 8). |
The system displays the following detail:
|
IO Type |
The type of the item, which could be “Input” or “Output”. |
Enter the following details:
|
Quantity |
The planned quantity of the item for the link id. |
|
UOM |
The unit of measurement by which the quantity of the item is determined (Alphanumeric, 15). |
|
Help facility available. | |
|
Time |
The planned time for the link id. |
|
UOM |
The unit of measurement of the time (Alphanumeric, 15). |
|
Help facility available. |
Note: The planned values (capacity values) for the link id and item can be given using the quantity, UOM, and time, UOM combination. This defines the design quantities for the routing scheme for that link. For example, if the planned quantity is 100 KL /Hr then quantity is 100,quantity UOM is KL, time is 1 and time UOM is Hr.
The system displays the following:
|
Item Description |
The description of the item. |
Click the “Maintain ” pushbutton to save the routing scheme defined for the item.
Click the “Delete ” pushbutton to delete the routing scheme defined for the item.
The system displays the following details:
|
Created By |
The login id of the user who created the routing scheme. |
|
Created Date |
The date on which the routing scheme was created. |
|
Modified By |
The login id of the user who last modified the routing scheme. |
|
Modified Date |
The date on which the routing scheme was last modified. |
