Manage process PERT flows

Use a Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) view to work with processes and operations in process structures.

This capability allows you to define the flow of materials and assemblies by viewing the sequence in which your process plan is defined. You can also flows using standard commands in the default bill of process (BOP) panel tree view. If your administrator has enabled line balancing, you can also view operations that include process resources in process resource interaction (PRI) view.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open an existing work package that contains processes and parts and navigate to the Process Planning, High Level Planning, or Work Instructions Authoring page.

   When you work with operations in the PERT view, you switch between the default tree view and the PERT view, and access all the commands at the operations level. By default, the BOP panel displays the process tree view consisting of process, folder, and operation objects.

2. In the BOP panel, select an object for which you want to create or manage PERT flows, and then click Sequence View .

The sequence view displays a pictorial PERT representation of the processes.

3. Click Move Mode to move objects in the PERT chart.

   To reset the order of moved objects in the chart, click Reset Layout.

4. Click Flow Creation Mode , and drag an object to another object to create a flow sequence.

5. Do any of the following.

   To reorder the process view, click Reset Layout
    .
   
   
   To delete an object from both the PERT and tree views, select the object and click Delete
    . 
   
   
   To change the order of an object in the process flow, right-click the object and select Set as Successor or Set as Predecessor.
   
   
   Regenerate object find numbers using a specific place value schema.
   
   
   Submit objects to a workflow.
   

6. (Optional) Click Tree View to return to the tree view.
