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.
Dependencies¶
- Locations.
- Materials and bills of material and production versions.
- Units of Measure.
- Calendars, shifts, holidays, and maintenance windows.
Used by¶
- Supply Planning data model;
- tactical capacity planning in Supply Network Planning and Design;
- production and occupation in the Supply Plan;
- S&OE and Line Sequencing;
- constraint analysis and unconstrained-versus-constrained comparison;
- production cost and Cost-to-Serve and P&L;
- direct manufacturing valuation in Production costs;
- Supply Network Explorer.
Validations¶
- a resource without
capacityis not treated as capacitated unless an explicit higher-level capacity rule applies; - a resource without
shiftIduses 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.
