A routing is a sequence of process steps (operations) that transform an item. The Production Optimizer automatically generates routings each time a sequence of operations is enclosed with a starting and ending stock point. Multiple items can be assigned to a single routing and each routing is assigned to only one product flow.
To Create a Routing:
- Routings are automatically generated as you build your production system model. They are created once a sequence of operations is enclosed with a beginning and ended with a stock point.
To Edit an Existing Routing:
- Double click the routing or select the routing and then select the pen button
- Edit the input fields and select Close
To Delete an Existing Routing:
