Managing Workplan Operation Assignments

If a System-Workplan scope exists, you can assign one or more workplan operations to a selected line-balancer system using the Assignments Manager command. You can also unassign workplan operations that are already assigned to the line-balancer system. The workplan operations that are available for assignment are derived from the System-Workplan scope definition.

Before you begin: Open your workplan and line-balancer system structures and start Process Planning.
