Allocated time and weighted time

In the process station page, the Operations tab contains an Operations section. You must configure the product variants displayed on this tab.

You can add, delete, and edit operations, depending on your user access rights. Editing an operation in the list changes its properties.

• Allocated time is the sum of the time assigned to activities within the operation. It includes the time taken to perform the operation, including value-added, non-value added, and non-value added but required time. Because its value is rolled up, you must make changes to allocated time on the activities within the operation, rather than on the process station page. Allocated time is determined using the activity’s time analysis, but if an activity has an assigned time system code, the assigned time is used instead of the allocated time.

• Weighted time is automatically calculated using the following equation: (weighted time) = (allocated time) x (the assigned probability from the production program). You cannot edit weighted time directly in this chart.

Warning

Before you perform line balancing, verify that each operation's allocated time and variant probability are greater than zero. If either the allocated time or the variant probability for an operation is zero (or less), Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO ignores the operation during balancing.
