Variants
Filter by product variant
Note
When you filter by product variant, you cannot create cycles for all product variants, or for product variants that you have filtered out. Teamcenter Easy Plan displays an error message and does not let you create or update the cycle.
In the plant bill of process (BOP), open or navigate to a process area or process line that contains process stations.
Select a station or process resource for which you want to view variant data.
Click the Product Variant drop-down, and select the variant on which you want to analyze data.You can select Maximum in the Product Variant drop-down list to see the maximum effect of product variants on each station's cycle time. Caution
In the Line Balancing page, verify that all operations are assigned to a process resource before you set the Product Variant to Maximum. If there are unassigned operations in the line, the Maximum calculation will not be accurate.
Teamcenter Easy Plan does not support shared process resources when you apply the Maximum product variant.
After you apply a filter to variant data, Teamcenter Easy Plan:
Shows only the stations, process resources, and operations for the specific variant configuration on which you filtered data.
Updates total time so it displays a rollup of time for only the product variant on which you filtered.
Filters the balancing overview cycle and wait times to show data for only the product variant on which you filtered.
