Create a Resource Structure

In this first step, you will create a resource structure in an existing PPR Context. You will insert new and existing resources in your structure. In this scenario, the resources used are manufacturing cells, conveyors, and workers.

Before you begin: The following elements are already defined in your PPR Context:
  • Product structure
  • Assembly structure
  • System structure
  1. In the tree, right-click the PPR Context and select Insert Resource > Manufacturing Cell.
    The root resource is created.
  2. Right-click the root resource and select Insert Resource > Manufacturing Cell.
    A first-level Manufacturing Cell is created.
  3. Right-click the first-level Manufacturing Cell and select Insert Resource > Existing Product or Resource.
  4. Open another tree with resources and click the conveyors' Manufacturing Cell to select this resource.
    The conveyors' Manufacturing Cell is added to the first tree.
  5. In the same way, add the workers' Manufacturing Cell.

The resource structure is created in the PPR Context.

Next step: Create the Resource-System Scope.
