Plant ApplicationsModify an Operation
You can modify an operation if you want to change the name, description, equipment, or sequence of the operation.
Procedure
- In the Route Editor page, select the route containing the operation that you want to modify.The Edit Route page appears, displaying a list of operations in the route.
- As needed, modify values as specified in the following table.
Column Description SEQ Identifies the sequence number of the operation. By default, the value in this column is 1. If multiple operations must be performed simultaneously, provide the same sequence number. Tip: When setting the sequence numbers, provide a gap in their values so that you can easily add new operations between other operations. For example, if the sequence number of the first operation is 1, set the sequence number of the second operation to 10. This allows you to add new operations between these two operations without the need to modify the sequence numbers of all the operations.NAME Identifies the name for the operation. Enter a unique name for the operation that does not exceed 100 characters. Note: The name must unique among all operations in the route.DESCRIPTION Identifies the description for the operation. Enter a description that does not exceed 1000 characters. BEHAVIOR Identifies the behavior of the operation. A value is required. The following options are available: - Non Clocking: Select this option if the operation does not require a manual clocking on. If you select this option, you can mark an operation complete even if serials/lots are not clocked on, mandatory BOM items are not consumed, or values for mandatory quality variables are not specified.
- Clocking: Select this option if the operation requires manual clocking on and clocking off. By default, Clocking is selected for an operation.
LABOR TYPES Identifies the labor types for the operation. A value is required. The following options are available: - Non Clocking: Select this option if the operation does not require a manual clocking on. If you select this option, you can mark an operation complete even if serials/lots are not clocked on, mandatory BOM items are not consumed, or values for mandatory quality variables are not specified.
- Clocking: Select this option if the operation requires manual clocking on and clocking off. By default, Clocking is selected for an operation.
DEFAULT LABOR Identifies the default labor type. A value is required. You can choose from the list of values that you selected in the LABOR TYPES column.
When an operator clocks on a serial/lot using the Work Queue or Unit Operations application, by default, the labor type that you select in this column is selected. The operator can, however, choose a different one from the ones that you selected in the LABOR TYPES column.
EQUIPMENT Identifies the equipment that is used to perform the operation. You can select multiple pieces of equipment for the same operation, and you can select the same piece of equipment for multiple operations. Tip: You can also select the equipment used in an operation by accessing the Resources section.MUTUAL EXCLUSION Switch the toggle to make the operation as mutually exclusive to another operation. A dialog box listing all the operations that have the same sequence number are listed. You can select the required operations and make the operation as mutually exclusive to the operations that you select. Note: You can make an operation mutually exclusive to another operation that has the same sequence number (priority). - Select Save.
