Routing AS-IT and TO-BE

This is just a sample routing implementation for a company.

AS-IS AT KBPLT

For manufacturing one component, various machines are used; multiple work center assignments are there.
 

TO-BE / SAP-PROCESS AT KBPLT

While creating the production order user can select the routing by selecting the production version which contains that routing number.

General Explanation

  • A routing is a description of which operations have to be carried out in which order to produce a material which can be a Finish Product or a Semi-Finish Product to be manufactured in-house.
  • Routing contains information about the work centers where the individual work steps are carried out.
  • Routing also contains the planned times for carrying out the operations (standard values).
Routing Would Also Servce The Following Purposes.

For work scheduling which uses routing as a basis for operation planning and production control. The routing thus answers the questions like:

  • Where the production is done?
  • How long it will take?
  • What are the materials and tooling required?

  •  
  • Components required for operation will be attached to operation as per BOM norms.
  • System will automatically group all the routings of a material under a group number and this group number will be internal number generated by the system.
  • Operation unit will be maintained in the units on which the output is measured and monitored and hence it will vary from operation to operation in a routing.
  • Any additional information on operation, routing will be maintained at the respective long text area.
  • All manufactured items will have routings (detailed routing for discrete production) created in the system.
