Standard operation properties

Operation ID

A unique ID for the operation. The operation ID identifies the operation in the MES data records, so it must be unique within standard operations. The operation ID is not editable after the operation definition is first saved.

Description

A brief description for the operation. It can be a common name for the operation.

Type

An optional operation type grouping. This is used in custom reporting.

Default Reject Rate %

The default reject rate % is the estimated percentage of rejects in the production quantity for an operation. It is the percentage of produced material that fails to meet production requirements. A default reject rate % value of 10 represents 10%. The system uses the percentage to calculate the jobs' starting quantity given the work order required quantity. For example, if the job needs 100 units and the reject rate is 10%, the starting quantity will be increased by 10 units.

File

You can add a file or a web page to an operation to support the operator during production. For example, a file or web page can contain information relative to performing the jobs that are instantiated from the operation. When a user is running a job using an application such as MES Operator, the files and web pages will be available to them for viewing.

Adding a file or web page to a standard operation is similar to adding it to an operation. See Add a file or web page to an operation.

Notes

Additional notes for the standard operation. This is an optional field.

Operation Cost

The cost for this operation. This value specifies the estimated cost of completing an operation in monetary units.

Oper spare 1 to Oper spare 4

Additional information about the operation.

Certification

For assigning certifications to the operation.

If an access certification is assigned to an operation, any operators who have been assigned to the certification and have the required certification level for the operation are allowed to start or work on jobs that have been instantiated from the operation. If audit certifications are assigned to the operation, all sign-offs required by the certification must be performed before the any of the jobs instantiated from it can be completed.

Assigning certifications to a standard operation is similar to assigning them to an operation. For more information, see Assign certifications to an operation.

Data Log Groups

For assigning data log groups to the operation. When a data log group is assigned to an operation, a user can record data for the group's values.

Assigning data log groups to a standard operation is similar to assigning them to an operation. For more information, see Assigning Data Log Groups to an Operation.
