Dynamic routing flow example

For example, let’s say that the following figure shows the original routing.
Further, let’s assume that the operator is running the second operation (machining) in the flow, and reports one unit of production with a reason of Gouged. This unit requires rework by welding filler material into the gouge and then machining the filler down to match the rest of the piece.
If the dynamic routing parameter Dynamic Routing is a separate WO from original is set to No, the operator will be able to see the rework jobs appearing in the Route control (the Route tab in Operator), because they are part of the same work order as the job that they are now running. Note in the following figure shows that the flow from the job initiating the dynamic routing to the first job in the dynamic routing has 0%, because the transfer of the one unit of production took place outside normal good production.
If the dynamic routing parameter Dynamic Routing is a separate WO from original is set to Yes, there is no direct indication to the operator in the Route tab that rework has been initiated, because it is in a newly created work order. The quantities for downstream jobs have been reduced by 1, as shown in the following figure, just as if the unit of production had been scrapped.
To see the new work order, the operator would have to log in to its first job. (This assumes that they are permitted access to the entity on which the job runs, and also whether it is far enough up in its queue to be visible to them.) If the dynamic routing parameter Copy remaining jobs to end of WO created for dynamic routing is set to Yes, the new work order for which the dynamic routing was created would have the route control flow shown in the following figure.
The first two jobs in it are the dynamic routing jobs. The other three are the copies of the remaining jobs of the original work order. Note that for all jobs in this dynamic routing work order, the quantity is 1, because only one unit of production was reported as requiring rework.
