Defining Operations in Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM)

Operations are a combination of activities performed in a production batch and the resources used to perform those activities. The Process Operation Details Activities window links operations to activities.

Navigation: Process Engineer > Process Operations

 

Enter the Operation code, version & description detailing about the operation.

Enter a Class for this operation to identify how it is categorized. Class is created in Process operation classes form.

Navigation: Process Engineer > Setup > Process operation classes

Enter the class code and description.

 

After entering the Process operation class, enter a Validate from & to date. By default the valid from date is system date. If there is no expiration date for this operation, leave the Valid to field blank.

Enter Owner organization for this operation.

Minimum Transfer Qty displays the minimum amount of material that must be produced in a step at a specific production operation and resource before the next operation can begin. It is used by planning to reduce bottlenecks by letting processes transfer an interim quantity of completed material to the next step without the requirement to complete the entire step.

Enter a Process Qty UOM for this operation

 

Activities:

To know how to define an Activity, click below link

Enter an Activity required for this operation.

Enter the Activity Factor to specify the number of times the activity is performed in this operation.

 

Sequence Dependency is selected when the activity has a sequence dependent setup.

Enter the Offset Interval as the time delay from the start of the activity to the point where the resource is actually required.

Breakable indicates whether the activity can be broken.

Max Break indicates the maximum duration of the break if the activity is breakable.

Material Scheduled is used in conjunction with the planning and scheduling application to show the activity consumes material.

 

Now we have to assign the resource to activity (Resource used to perform the activity), Click Resources.

To know how to Create resource, click the following link

http://dj-oracleapps.blogspot.in/2014/02/creating-resources-in-oracle-process.html 

Enter the resource.

Throughput:

Enter the planned Process Quantity for the resource.

Enter the Planned resource usage

 

Cost Information:

The Component class field will be defaulted from Resource.

Cost Analysis code will be defaulted from Activity.

 

Scheduling Information:

Select the Plan type as per the need,

• Primary - Select Primary to indicate the rate determining resource. It limits or determines throughput. There can only be one primary resource.

• Secondary - Select Secondary for resources that work as companions with the primary resource.  Secondary resources affect the rate if the duration of the secondary resource is longer than the primary resource.

• Auxiliary - Select Auxiliary for resources that work as companions with the primary resources to perform an activity in the operation. Auxiliary resources affect the rate if the duration of the auxiliary resource is longer than the primary resource.

Enter the Count as the number of resources needed for the activity entered. For example, if two blenders are used for mixing, enter a 2 in the count

Enter the Offset Interval as the time delay from the start of the activity to the point where the resource is actually required.

Select the Scale type accordingly,

• Proportional - if the resources change in a ratio to the quantity of material being processed.

• Fixed - if the resources do not change, regardless of the quantity of material being processed.

• By Charge - if the resources change as a result of the number of charges specified.
