Assign work areas

After you create a process operation and its activities, identify where in the plant the operations take place. To do this, establish a relationship between the operation and the work area where the production occurs.

Procedure

1. Expand the relevant sections of the work area and process structures.

2. In the work area structure view, select the work area or station where the operation is to be performed.

3. Do one of the following:

With both work area and process structure views visible, drag the selected work area or station to the operation.

Select Copy from the shortcut menu and paste the copied work area to the operation. By default, objects are assigned using an WorkArea occurrence type. To specify a different occurrence, use the Paste As command.

4. Repeat this process for each operation to consume an item from the structure.

5. Repeat these steps for each process and operation you create.

By default, an occurrence of the WorkArea type may be assigned to a process. Your administrator can change the controllingOccsForProcessConfiguration preference to specify another occurrence type as valid for assignment at your site. If this preference is blank, the configuration of consumed items does not affect the configuration of operations.
