Assign or reassign operations to a process resource to equalize allocated time

You can assign operations to a process resource that were previously unassigned or assigned to another process resource of the station. You may do this to equalize the time allocated to two resources in a station.

Note

You can also drag and drop operations to assign them to a process resource in the station.

Procedure

  1. If you have not done so already, search for and open a work package, and then navigate to the Line Balancing page.

  2. Select a process station, and then select one or more objects in the Operations table and click Assign to Process Resource .

    At least one process resource must exist to see the Assign to Process Resource
    command.

  3. Select a process resource from the list.

    You can select Unassign to return an operation to the Not Assigned list for this station. Note You cannot assigned process resources with the type of Machine or No Type as shared process resources. You can assign Process resources with the type of Cobot or Resource (Human) as shared process resources.

What to do next

An operation can be assigned to a single process resource at once. Assigning an operation to a process resource either unassigns it from another process resource or removes it from the Not Assigned list. The roll up times are updated on the station tile.
