Production data¶

Production data describes how a material can be made: the resource that can perform the work, the available capacity, the routing and its operations, the bill of materials and its components, and the production version that connects the process alternative.

What to model¶

The model keeps two planning questions independent:

An organization can therefore register a productive alternative without constraining capacity and/or without creating material dependencies. Neither choice means that production is absent: it tells the plan not to consume capacity or explode components, respectively.

Structure in the platform¶

Data > Data Operations > Master Data

Load the headers before their dependent rows. A production version is loaded last because it references both a routing and a bill of materials.

Planning relationship¶

flowchart LR
    PR[Production resource] --> PA[Resource availability]
    RT[Production routing] --> RO[Routing operation]
    RO --> PR
    BOM[Bill of materials] --> BC[BOM component]
    PV[Production version] --> RT
    PV --> BOM

The routing operations consume productive capacity; the BOM components consume materials. The production version makes that routing-and-BOM combination available for a material at a location.

Start with Production routings to model the transformation and capacity, then use Bills of material to model material consumption.
