In this part, we will create workflows, which are equivalent to a set of processes that are done simultaneously, or sequentially by the assembly members. Each product has its own workflows, which are done at their own assembly stations. Finishing the workflow of a product would equate to a single output quantity.
Workflows are tied with Assembly Groups and products models. If you haven't set up assembly groups and products for your company in the system and don't know how, consider clicking the following links:
Creating and Setting up Assembly Stations
Creating your first product / model
To create and set up your workflows, go to the side navigation and under Job Scheduling, click Workflow
The Workflow page should look like this:
Workflows are divided into main and sub-assemblies, where sub-assemblies must be done before the main assembly itself
To create a model assembly, click the Create New on the top-right of the page. A window like this should appear:
The Assembly field is where all kinds of assembly done in the company are listed. This is the only place where you can add assemblies in the system
Assembly Group and Model are all tied to their own respective lists
Unit Cost ($) will be the value for how much a single assembly of the workflow will cost, including overhead, material and labor cost.
Standard Time is the average time that a model assembly finishes. It should be written in respect to minutes
Production Handling Quantity is the amount of output per batch in production
Minimum and Maximum member fields set how many members can and should be allotted for the model assembly
You can set the model assembly a Main Assembly in the checkmark below
Click the "+" button beside the Assembly field. After clicking it, a new text field should appear. This is where you save a new type of Assembly
After inputting the desired name of your assembly in the field, press the Save button beside it. The newly saved assembly should appear in the Assembly list
Fill up the rest of the field with their respective values that you want and click save afterwards
Your newly added workflow should appear in the list
If you want to create sub-assemblies for the product, just use the same product, create a new assembly for the sub-assembly and choose it as your Assembly.
You can also delete and edit existing model assemblies by clicking on their respective buttons
