Definitions
• WIP = Work In Process • PIA = Produkt i arbete

• Discrete Job = production order • Tillverkningsorder

• Routing = sequence of operations • Operationslista

• OSP = outside processing (operations • Legooperationer, köp av tjänster inom en

conducted at suppliers) produktionsflöde

• WIP Move Transaction = method of advancing • Transaktionen som flyttar ett antal av produkt
a quantity of product through the routing from genom operationslistan från operation till
one operation to the next (labour cost operation (arbetskostnaden slå på jobbet)
incurred)

• WIP Assembly Complete = the transaction • Transaktionen som levererar in produkter från
that delivers finsihed products from WIP into PIA till lagret
inventory

• PUSH = material supply type where material • Material måste tas ut manuellt till jobbet
must be manually issued to the job

• Operation Pull = a form of back flush where • Material tas ut till jobbet vid rapportering av
material is issued to a job on completion of an operation då WIP Move transaktionen görs
operation (invoked by WIP Move Transaction)
What is a discrete job?
• An instruction to produce something

• A control mechanism for material, labour, resources, capacity and cost

• A record of production activities

 Discrete Job Life Cycle
Usually by releasing a planned
order from BAS-MFG
NB: This status is
skipped by BAS for
OSP jobs
When assembly is finished
the job is delivered into
The job is kitted and produced stock via WIP Assembly
Operations are reported and complete
material is issued during this
stage

Two dimensions to scheduling
• Resource usage
– How long it takes to perform the operation
– Represents effort required
– Expressed in resource units – hours
• Resource Capacity
– As defined and managed by planning
– Expressed in hours and units

• Work • 5,75 hrs per shft * 2 shifts = 11,5 hrs

– 0,67 hours/pc * 90 pcs = 60,3 hours – 0700 – 1000
– 1030 – 1315
• Use 5 resource units
– 1315 – 1600
– 60,3 hrs / 5 = 12,06 hrs from start to end
– 12 hrs 3 minutes – 1630 – 1930

12hrs 3min – 11hrs 30min = 33 min

This job is 33 minutes longer than one working day so the

scheduling result is:
Scheduling result

12hrs 3min of working time between Start and Completion

Scheduling with multiple
operations

• Forwards from start

• Backwards from end
