Operations are any operation on the product, such as, assembly, cleaning, packing, etc. Product operations are not used in the optimisation and are stored in a separate file on disk. Use this list as a record of the operations required or as a check list to manage the jobs in production.

 

The time shown is the total time for all the products in the requirements list. The time is stored as seconds and shown as hours and minutes on the report.

 

The fields available for fittings are:-

 

Operation code

Operation - material

Operation - description

Operation - time

 

The material code must start with the minus symbol.

 

Edit the Operations list as necessary, change or delete existing items or add new entries.

Custom operations - If working with custom products and use product variables to define the variable aspects of the products you may also need to do this with operations as well. For example, some operations may not be needed for some sizes of products or the time the operation takes may vary. Use variables for operations in the same way as for parts (see above for details on the use of variables).

 

Export - To export the operations list to a file select 'File - Export'. The filename is the same as the operations list name and has the extension EX4, for example, RXA15.EX4. The export file is in the: Path for export data
