Production resources and routings

Production resources represent lines, cells, or assets whose availability limits production. Routings connect materials and operations to these resources, turning volume into occupation, setups, and an executable sequence.

Path in the platform

Data > Data Operations > Master Data > Production > Production Assets > Production assets

Grain and key

  • Resource: one row per resourceId.
  • Routing: one row per routing and operation.
  • Capacity or availability: resource and period.
  • Cost or shift: resource, validity, and applicable rule.

Required resource fields

Logical field Meaning
resourceId Stable line, cell, or asset identifier
description Name shown to the planner
locationId Location where the resource operates

Optional resource fields

Logical field Meaning Default Value When Not Provided
capacity Nominal capacity in the stated period No capacity value
uomId Capacity unit Default planning unit from Units of Measure
shiftId Applicable shift or calendar No shift-specific availability
validFrom Start of validity No additional initial restriction
validTo End of validity No additional final restriction

Setup, maintenance, downtime, and allocation penalties are related datasets. Fixed, run, routing, and shift values are documented separately in Production costs; their optional monetary fields use the defaults stated in that reference.

Validations

  • a resource without capacity is not treated as capacitated unless an explicit higher-level capacity rule applies;
  • a resource without shiftId uses only availability defined by another explicit planning rule;
  • resource belongs to an existing location;
  • capacity is positive and convertible;
  • shifts have no unintended overlap;
  • maintenance and downtime fit the calendar;
  • routing has a complete operation sequence;
  • setup and speed match the material and production alternative.
