To define a Standard Event for a flow manufacturing line:Standard Events can be created and used only with Oracle Flow Manufacturing. Events and standard events can only be created and used with Oracle Bills of Material. Events and Standard Events can also be created on the Graphical Line Designer Workbench. See: Creating the Graphical Network
Note: When using Oracle Flow Manufacturing, the Operation Sequence on the Bill of Materials refers to the Event Sequence.
To define Flow manufacturing line operations, you must first define a line in Oracle Work in Process. See: Defining Production Lines
To define a Standard Event for a flow manufacturing line:Navigate to the Standard Events window.
Enter the code and description.
Choose the Event Resources button to define resources.
When defining events, you must choose whether a resource is scheduled or not scheduled. In Flow Manufacturing, a nonscheduled resource is a resource that is used in parallel to a scheduled resource. Unscheduled resources are included in the total time for the resource type (labor or machine), but is not included in the total elapsed time for the process. Scheduled resources are included in both.
Therefore, in the case of parallel processes, the activity with the longest resource time should be scheduled because the system elapsed time calculation should always consider the longest resource time.
Save your work.
