Creating Time Constraint Links Between Operations

You can create time constraint links to specify synchronization or precedence constraints between operations.

When you create time constraints between parent objects, the start times and end times of the child objects are automatically updated.

Time constraints are displayed in the Process Gantt as arrows connecting operations.

Dropping an operation or a system and its children from one system to another keeps external time constraints (outside the System structure) if the Keep Time Constraints option in Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Simulation > Process Engineering > Service Process Structure > System/Operation Management > Drag and Drop Operation in System Structure is selected.

This task shows you how to:

Before you begin: Select a system and open the Process Gantt .
Tip: You can access the commands described below by pressing Ctrl + dragging an operation to another in the Process Gantt. Without the Ctrl key, a product flow is created instead. For more information, see About Product Flows.
