Depending on the industry and the nature of the finished + product, a different name may be used to describe the same document. For + example, in the pharmaceutical industry, the term “recipe” may be used. + + Cycle + + A production cycle is a frame of time during which an entire + manufacturing process can be fulfilled. + + Downtime or Leave + + Time during which a resource is unavailable. If the resource is a + machine, the unavailability is downtime, while if the resource is human, + unavailable time is called a Leave. + + Finished products + + Finished products are the final output of a manufacturing process. They + are normally not intended to be used as input into another manufacturing + order of the company. + + Kit + + A kit is a set of components that are described by a bill of materials, + but which are delivered separately rather than assembled or mixed. + + Multi-level Bill of Materials + + A bill of material can quickly grow very complex. To keep it manageable, + it can be broken down into several smaller manufactured parts, each + having its own BOM. These parts are typically referred to as + sub-assembly of intermediate products. + + Defining a BOM in multiple levels reduces the complexity of the + top-level document and allows components to be reused in other BoMs. + + Phantom Bill of Material + + A phantom bill of material is always used in the context of multi-level + BOMs. It allows to add a sub-assembly as part of a bigger end-product + while avoiding to trigger a separate manufacturing order for the + sub-assembly. + + As such, when a manufacturing order for the final product is launched, + the components of the sub-assembly are reflected in the parent BOM as if + they were direct components of the parent BOM. + + Phantom BOM are thus used for grouping a set of components with the aim + of reusing them in many other BOM without the need to launch separate + manufacturing orders for the sub-assemblies. + + Raw Materials + + Raw materials and components constitute the input that are transformed + to produce semi-finished or finished goods. + + The transformation here can take many aspects according to the industry. + It can be simple assembly, welding, mixing, etc. + + Routing + + A routing is a document that describes a series of Work Orders and the + Work Centers at which they will be carried out + + Semi-finished products and sub-assemblies + + These are products which are manufactured with the purpose to be + consumed in another manufacturing order. + + Work Order Operations + + Work Order Operations specify the set of activities necessary to fully + process a manufacturing order. Each activity or operation takes some + time to be completed and is performed into a determined production unit + (also called work center). + + Work Order + + A work order is a single manufacturing operation that is scheduled for + execution on a given date and a given duration. + + Work Center + + Work centers identify production units and their resources. They are + used to represent the plant capacity as well as costing information. The + capacity is a combination of resources and their availability time. + + Resources + + In manufacturing a resource can be a human being (employee) or machine + available in a work center. + + Working Time + + Each resource has its normal working time. For instance, machines can be + set up to operate 7 days a week 20 hours out of 24. +
