Line balancing and detailed timing

Open the Line Balancing page and confirm the variant rule

When you open the Line Balancing page, Easy Plan prompts you to use either the variant rule that is set for the plant bill of process (BOP) or the Product Variant list on the Line Balancing page.

Procedure

  1. Open an existing work package, or create a new one.

  2. From any page in Easy Plan, click the tile at the top of the page and select the Line Balancing tile. Easy Plan displays a dialog box to warn you that an active variant configuration is applied to the structure.

  3. Choose one of the following options:

                 Clear—resets the
                     structure configuration from the variant rule, allowing you to select a
                     configuration from the Product
                         Variant list and use that variant to balance the
                     line.
                 Cancel—configures the structure based on the
                     plant BOP. You use the variant rule for the plant BOP to balance the line,
                     and the Product Variant list is not available for you
                     to use.
                         Note 
                             We recommend that you use the variant rule set for the plant
                                 BOP.
    
  4. Use Easy Plan to balance the line.
