  - Production Model
    The production model presents a set of resources used to describe a product as a collection of components and the processes applied to those components.
  - Add properties or parameters to a resource
  - Modify the name and description of a property or parameter
  - Modify the values for a property or parameter
  - Delete properties or parameters from a resource
  - Work Data Classes
    Work data classes are defined by users and associated with process segments.
  - Work Process Segments
    Work process segments define an activity and the resources required to carry out the activity. It outlines the data associated with a process.
  - Work Definition Segments
    Work definition segments reference a single work process segment and refine the details that describe what the work process segment will accomplish.
    - Segment Hierarchies
      A segment hierarchy is a collection of work definition segments in a parent/child relationship.
    - Work Definition Segment Details Tab
      The Details tab offers general information about the selected work definition segment.
    - Work Definition Segment Parameters Tab
      The Parameters tab allows you to add, modify, and delete parameters that are specific to the selected work definition segment, and to view the parameters for the associated work process segment.
    - Work Definition Segement Specifications Tab
      The Specifications tab for the selected work definition segment displays the equipment, material, and personnel specifications inherited from the associated work process segment.
    - Work Definition Segment Work Data Tab
      The Work Data tab for the selected work definition segment allows you to view all work data classes that are inherited from an associated work process segment.
    - Work Definition Segment Child Segments Tab
      The Child Segments tab allows you to associate one or more child work definition segments with the selected parent work definition segment to create a hierarchy of work definition segments.
  - Work Definitions
    A work definition is a collection of work definition segments assembled together to outline and define the resources and data required to carry out a unit of work.
  - Work Requests
    Work requests contain the information required to begin a production process.
  - Work Requests View
    The Work Requests View provides information at a glance of certain properties associated with production and equipment resources. You can also filter specific information related to these resources.

Work Definition Segments

Work definition segments reference a single work process segment and refine the details that describe what the work process segment will accomplish.

A definition segment defines how a process segment is used to produce a specific product by feeding parameters and specifications into a work process segment.

Note: A work definition segment can be associated with only one work process segment.

You can also associate work definition segments with the parameters of work process segments through a workflow's Call Method activity.

Work definition segments further detail the resources that are required to create the product; that is, the equipment, material, and personnel.

The definition segment inherits the parameters and specifications defined for the associated process segment. You can customize the definition segment by adding product-specific parameters and by changing the values of inherited process segment parameters. However, you cannot delete parameters inherited from the process segment. If you override the value of a process segment parameter at the definition segment level, the change applies only to the specific definition segment; it is not reflected in the process segment.

Equipment, material, and personnel specifications are also inherited from the associated process segment; you cannot add specifications to the definition segment, nor can you change the name and description of an inherited specification; however, you can change the quantity.
