About Operations

An operation consists of tasks that you perform while producing a product (for example, drilling, turning, and painting). When you define a route, you define a set of operations that must be performed to complete the route. Each operation is associated with one or more pieces of equipment that are defined in Plant Applications.

You can also specify whether the operation requires clocking on. For example, if clocking on and clocking off is already tracked in an ERP system, it is not required to clock on again using Plant Applications Web Client. In that case, when creating an operation for a route, you can specify that the operation does not clocking on.

Using Route Editor, in addition to creating an operation, you can copy, modify, and delete an operation.
