Usage

Use this tab to view a consolidated line routing for all the parts on the line, and to compare the operation details to the takt time, as a simple line balance analysis.

You must select the preferred routing alternatives to be used for each part (the default value is the first alternate valid for this production line), and then view a comparison of the operation durations in relation to the calculated takt time, using either a standard production lot size or per unit value (assuming it is a single piece flow). The output displays comparisons of the operation setup and the run times to the takt time calculated earlier. The consolidated line routing is constructed by aligning operations across all the line parts into a single view. The line routing is sequenced according to the operation number; assuming that identical operation numbers represent identical operations, as long as they are for the same work center.

You can compare different alternatives by taking snapshots of different alternates for each line part.

The lower left pane shows detailed information of a part's routing. The right pane displays all the operations of that part, relative to the takt time.
