Time Modes, Systems, and Operations
Manufacturing planning scenarios are based on Gantt resolution of operations executed with different resource types (such as workers, robots, and machines). To be as accurate as possible in the planning, the duration of each operation must be computed depending on the resource where the operation is balanced. The duration can be estimated, measured, calculated, or simulated.
In the Gantt chart, operations are displayed after their start and end times are computed by the time solver. An operation computation time can come from different computation modes.
In order to manage the time solving of operations having different time modes, you have the possibility to define directly on operations the time mode to be taken into account. So you can manage the time solving of several operations when their duration computation type is different.
The following Time Mode options are available in the Properties of an operation:
|
Estimated Time |
A user-defined duration, corresponding to an estimated value. Operation duration is retrieved from the "Estimated Time" attribute. |
|
Measured Time |
A measured user-defined duration, corresponding to a measured value. Operation duration is retrieved from the "Measured Time" attribute. |
|
Analyzed Time |
The time specified using Time-Motion Study standards. Operation duration is retrieved from the Time Analysis defined on the Operation. |
|
Simulated Time |
The time obtained by the simulation of the operation.Operation duration is retrieved from the results of the simulation. For more information, see Updating the Simulated Time. |
|
Work Instruction |
Operation duration is computed from the duration of the children Work Instructions. |
|
User Defined |
Operation duration is retrieved from the
