Manufacturing Methods

Create a New Manufacturing method

1. First, make sure the Manufacturing Methods tab is selected. 
2. There are two ways to create a new Manufacturing Method, you can select an Item from the Produced Item Code list and click the dropdown arrow, then click +Add New, or you can click the New button to launch the New Manufacturing Method.
   

1. Next, select a Product from the Product Item dropdown 
   

1. Next, type in the Manufacturing Method Name and Description. Optionally, you can type in the Waste Production Per Unit, CO2 Production Per Unit, and Recycled Materials Used, if needed. 
   
2. Check the Enabled Box to enable the Manufacturing Method for use, then click Save. 

1. The new created Manufacturing Method will appear under the Produced Item Code for that Product in the Manufacturing Methods list. Click the dropdown arrow to view the Manufacturing Method. 

Adding Operations to Manufacturing Methods

1. From here, type a Name and Description for the Operation, then you can optionally select a Manufacturing Resource and a Bill of Materials. Click Save. 

1. Click + Add new item to edit the component and quantity process data.

1. The operations information will now appear with the Operation Code. 

1. You can add additional Operations to a manufacturing method. When adding more operations, you can then select a previous operation as a dependency.

1. Predecessor Operation: Select an operation for the dependency. 
   
2. Dependency Type: Select a dependency type from the dropdown: Predecessor finish to successor start, Predecessor start to successor start, Predecessor setup to successor start, Predecessor setup to successor setup, Predecessor finish to successor setup, Predecessor finish to successor finish, and Predecessor to successor rate rate difference.
3. Elastic or Hot Feed: Select the type of extruder for the manufacturing dependency. You will also need to create minimum and maximum hours for the extruder operations. 

1. Some Manufacturing Resources will also allow more than one Dependency to be added. The message 'Maximum dependencies reached' will appear to the right of the Add Dependency link button and the button will be grayed out when no more dependencies can be created for that resource. 

Adding Process Data to Operations

1. After creating an Operation, you can add Process data to the Operation by clicking the +Add New next to the Process Data title after clicking the dropdown arrow for that Operation. Here you will create a Name Description, select a Manufacturing Resource, optionally select a Bill of Material, Start Date and Expiration Date, create a Rate of BUoM / hr, and optionally create a priority, lot size, minimum run size, setup time, lead time, delay time, minimum run time, and incremental run time.
