Duration of Operations 

Duration in planned orders and production order

The system calculates the duration of the operation segments setup, processing and teardown for the production order and the planned order. The system takes the standard values from the operation and places them in the formulas in the work center.

The other operation segments are maintained as follows:

  • You can maintain the queue time individually for every operation or for the work center as a whole.
  • You can maintain the move time individually for each operation or define it in the move time matrix in Customizing using the location group.
  • The minimum wait time is a value that you can maintain for each operation.

You can maintain the delivery time for externally processed operations individually for every operation.

Duration in networks and maintenance orders

For an activity/operation in a network/maintenance order, the duration of the operation/activity is calculated using a formula from the work center. The duration of the operation/activity is entered in the formula. If no formula exists in the work center, the duration entered is defined as the duration of the operation/activity.

You can maintain the duration of relationships in the network individually.

Duration in the process order

The duration of activities in the process order is determined by the dates of the phases that belong to the operation. Scheduling calculates the duration of the phases using the formula in the resource. The standard values from the operation go into the formula.
