Routing & Reference Operation Set

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Could you guys please help me to understand the following will be grateful

What is the difference between Routing & Reference Operation Set?

When the Routing will be used?

When Reference Operation Set will be used?

What are all the advantages and disadvantages behind using Routing & Reference Operation Set in prodution?

At which Scenario Reference Operation Set is must?

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

Routing defines the sequence of operations that should be carried at a work center to make up a product.

In the operation you define the values for setting the machine and the machine time to prodduce a finished product for a particular base qty.

Routing is one of task list in PP module to carry out the production of finished and semi finished parts. it consists operation sequence which requires for manufacture finsihed and semi finished parts like operation 10. 20, 30...

Ref operation sets is use as template to create routing , rework order.

These are four types...

1) Routing and Ref operation sets (used is discreate manufacturing).

2) Rate routing and Ref rate routings (used in repetative manufacturing).

3) Recipe (used in process manufacturing)

Ref operation sets are repeated operations can be use for several products. you have use these always in rotuings.

For documents and PDF files you can download from the below link

CA01 = Standard Routings

CA11 = Reference Operation Sets

CA21 = Rate Routings (used in Repetitive manufacturing only)

CA31 = Reference Rate Routing (used in Repetitive manufacturing)

Hi,

Ref. operatio set is a template to create routing.

Suppose you have a similar set of operations to be performe for number of materials, then we create a reference operation set and assign this ROS to the Routing.

Instead of creating all the operaions, similar set of operations can be assigned fro ROS.

Routing is a list of operations to be done for a product..

If you create routings with ROS, when you change the operation details in the ROS, this will be effective where ever we use the ROS, system will update al the routing details with this changed data automatically.
