View the operation Details

Subcontract : If the operation is a subcontract type, the check box is ticked.

Do not print operation : If this is ticked the operation was not included on printed documentation.

Overlap quantity : To start the next operation before selected operation finishes, enter a quantity. This is the quantity of operations that may still be running when the next operation starts. MRP uses this value to calculate the time that must elapse before the next operation starts. This enables subsequent operations to start earlier, resulting in a shorter lead time for the works order.

Overlap percentage : To start the next operation before the current one finishes, enter a percentage. The percentage of the current operation will be overlapped with the next operation. MRP uses this value to calculate the time that must elapse before the next operation starts. This enables subsequent operations to start earlier, resulting in a shorter lead time for the works order.

Shrinkage : The percentage by which the operation time shown on route cards or job sheets is shrunk.

Run Time Defaults : The default run time for resource details to the operation.

• • Run Time Hours : The default number of run time hours.
  • Run Time Minutes : The default number of run time minutes.
  • Run Time Seconds : The default number of run time seconds.

Delay : The delay time entered in the Delay – Hours, Delay – Minutes and Delay – Seconds boxes will increase the calculated lead time of the works order.

• • Delay Hours : The number of hours delay.
  • Delay Minutes : The number of minutes delay.
  • Delay Seconds : The number of seconds delay.

Quantity Per Run : The quantity per run.  Time details on Runtime resource details are divided by the quantity per run when calculating lead time and cost.  Where it is not applicable to measure runtime per 1, for example when a large volume is produced in a short time, the quantity per run can be set to a higher quantity and the runtimes can be expressed in terms of this quantity.

View Operation Resources

• Select the Resources tab.
• Select a resource from the list.

View a Resource record

Step No. : The step number is the resource position in the sequence of operation resources.

Phase : The operation phase when the resource is used. This can be Setup, Runtime or Teardown.

Resource Type : The resource type: Labour Resource, Labour Resource Group, Machine Resource, Machine Resource Group, Tool Resource or Tool Resource Group.

Reference : The resource type reference. The Description appears automatically.

Primary : Ticked if the resource is the primary resource.

Secondary : Ticked if the resource is the secondary resource.

View Resource Details

Select the resource in the header list and view the resource details.

• If the operation has been added from the Operations Register all resource details will be copied from the Operation.

Rate : The rate per hour for labour and machine resources and per quantity for tool resources.

Quantity : The Quantity for costing.

This is relevant if the resource is a tool or tool resource group. Alternatively, it must be a labour resource that has the Piece Work option selected.

Time : The expected time in Hrs, Min and Sec for costing and lead time calculation.

• This time is used in conjunction with the Quantity Per Run value on the operation details, to define how many can be made during the expected time.

Fixed Length : Ticked if the operation has a fixed length of time when it will be completed.

• If this setting is enabled, the calculated lead time was fixed regardless of the quantity being produced on the Works Order.  This setting is applicable for Setup and Teardown phase types.

Fixed Quantity : The quantity that can be made during the Time duration, if applicable.

• This will be zero if the entered Time is fixed.  Alternatively, this is the quantity that can be made in the Time. For example, setting Time of 1 hour and Fixed Quantity of 5 would mean that 5 can be completed per hour.  If a Works Order of 100 was entered, the calculated lead time would be 20 hours.

Manning Level : The number of people assigned to the operation.

Notes : Any notes about the resources.
