Define Production Rates

Explanation

Use this activity to define production rates for a production unit. Production Rates are defined per product quality. These are the qualities of the product(s) to be produced by your production unit. When defining production units you can define maximum production rates as well as goal production rates.

Prerequisites

• Qualities must have been defined in the Define Products and Qualities window (Setup OEE).
• A production unit must have been defined in the Define Production Units window (Setup OEE).

System Effects

• New production rate goals are defined for a product quality of the production unit.
• The maximum production rate or goal production rate can be used when performing an APQ analysis.
• The given maximum production rate will be used as the valid maximum value when a production change is registered. Note: The maximum production rate used will be the value entered most recently.
• The given goal production rate can be used as a reference value in the production speed graph. Note: The goal production rate used will be the value entered most recently.

3. Next, click on the green arrow button to the right of the Show Goals for Production Unit field. The Define Goals window opens.
4. Click the Production Rate Goals tab.
5. All products connected to the selected production unit will be displayed in the available object structure. This object structure can be expanded to show all qualities for a product.
6. Select the quality you want. If maximum or goal production rates have been defined for the quality these values will appear to the right of the tab. Modify existing production rates, if required.
7. To create a new maximum production rate and/or goal production rate (a) click Add (b) double-click on an existing record or, (c) right-click anywhere in the table, and then click Insert.
8. In the Valid From field, enter the date the goals should be valid. By default, the system date will be populated and can be modified.
9. In the Max Prod Rate field, enter the maximum production rate.
10. In the Goal Prod Rate field, enter the goal production rate.
11. Save the record.

Use the following procedure when you want to define production rates for the product quality of another production unit simultaneously:
