Calculating Time Based on Effectivity in Resource Balancing

You can calculate parent operation time that excludes child operations whose effectivity does not match configuration filters.

  1. Open your session content.

    The content should comprise:

    • A system structure with operations whose child operations have configuration filters applied
    • Aresource structure with working resources (Worker_1 and Worker_2) in two different stations of a manufacturing cell.





    Note: The Sequence system contains an operation Op10 that contains operations WI_1 and WI_2, whose child operations have configuration filters applied.

    In this example, the configuration filters are called Opt A and Opt B:

    • Operations Act 2, P2, Act 4, Act 5, P4, and Tool 2 are configured with Opt A.
    • Operations Act 3, P3, P5, Act 6, and Act 7 are configured with Opt B.
    • Operations Act 1, Tool 1, and P1 are not configured.

  2. Assign Operation WI_1 to Worker_1 and Operation WI_2 to Worker_2.
  3. Select the Manufacturing Cell resource in the tree.
  4. From the Authoring section of the action bar, click Resource Balancing .
    The Resource Balancing panel appears.



    The panel shows four dedicated configuration filter columns (two for Worker_1 and two for Worker_2) based on the configuration filters Opt A and Opt B.

    The total time for operations WI_1 and WI_2 is calculated for each configuration.



    The calculation takes into account the child operations whose effectivity matches the column configuration filter.

Note: The dragging of operations is not available in resource balancing while configurations are applied.
