Assign Employee/Team to Operation

Explanation

This activity is used to assign employees and/or teams to one or more shop order operations. Assignment of employees/teams can be done for both setup and/or run. Employees/teams assignment to an operation is only a suggestion for those who will perform the work and it is not mandatory. This means that the employees/teams other than the assignees can perform the given operation.

If you wish to do so, you can assign both employees and teams to an operation.

Prerequisites

To perform this activity, the respective site should neither use constraint based scheduling server nor APB, since CBS and APB handles operation assignment in a different way.
