Define dependencies between operations

Use this procedure to define dependencies between operations.

1. Open or navigate to a process area or process line that contains process stations.

2. Click the Balancing tab.

3. Select a station.

   When you select a Station tile, the Operations table updates to list all operations in that station. The Operations table provides the following information:

   The Station tiles list all operators (PRs) assigned to each station.

   The table header states how many operations are missing a time allocation. Any operations without a time allocation are highlighted in orange text.

   The table list operations (REV NAME), Allocated and Estimated times for each operation, and the associated Process Resource (Operator) for each operation.

   Below the Operations table, the Operations Sequence table lists operators assigned to the station, and the sequence of tasks performed at the station. Note You can resequence or move operations during line balancing if needed.

4. In the Operations Sequence table, hover at the end of an operation until you see the diamond symbol.

5. Drag the diamond symbol to draw the required sequence (flow) from the first operation to the next required operation in the sequence.

   Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO updates the Operations Sequence table with the dependencies you just defined and updates related calculations.

Delete a dependency in a plan

To delete a dependency, select the dependency line and click Delete .

Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO prompts you to verify the deletion. Next, Process Planning for BTO/BTS/CTO verifies that the deletion does not cause errors within or between other dependencies, and updates calculations for the station.
