Perform Line Operation Analysis
Explanation
This activity is used to view a consolidated line
routing for all the parts on a line, and to compare the operation details to the
takt time as a simple line balance analysis. You can pick the preferred routing
alternatives to use for each part (the default value is denoted by an asterisk (*)), and view a
comparison of the operation durations relative to the calculated takt time, using
either a specified lot size or a 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 must represent identical operations
as long as they
are for the same work center.
Prerequisites
- At least one routing alternative must exist for each
production line part.
- Takt time must have been calculated for the line.
- The standard lot size must have been defined on the inventory part
(if applicable)

Procedure
- Open the
Production Line Management
window, and right-click and then click Routing Operation Load Analysis
Parameter.
- In the dialog box, you must specify the preferred
routing alternatives to be used for each part. (Once this is done the first
time, the preference will be stored and used thereafter, until you decide to
change it).
- Enter the lot size.
- Select a line operation analysis parameter.
- Select a line load analysis parameter.
- Select a lot sizing parameter.
- Click OK.
- Click the
Operation
Analysis tab.
- Select the preferred part number and routing
alternative.
- Select the display time unit.
- View and routing operation details.
- View and compare the operation durations relative to the
calculated takt time, using either a specified lot size or per unit value
(assuming it is a single piece flow).
- Check whether operation time is higher
than takt time for any operation.
