Define Products

Explanation

Use this activity to register products being produced, for which you want to measure production performance. A product can have several qualities defined for it. Once one or more qualities are defined for a product, you can define production rate goals for each product and quality combination in the production unit. For more information, refer the online help file: Define Production Rates.

When you record a Production Change or Completed Production event you are required to specify a product. When a Scrapping event is reported the product is retrieved by means of the connected Completed Production event. When a Stop event is reported the product is retrieved automatically from the last available Production Change event.
