Create a supply chain

In Teamcenter, the supply chain is represented using a logistics BOP.

Procedure

Create the logistics BOP using the File → New → Logistics menu commands.

Create the root Logistic BOP structure.

Add the following objects as necessary:

    Add a logistics folder  under the root logistics BOP.
   
   
    Add as many part families  as required.
   
   
    Add inbound supply chains  and in-plant supply chains to the part families.
   
   
    Add logistics processes to the supply chains. You can add any of the following logistics process types:
    
     
      
       Logistic Process
      This is an all-purpose process.
     
     
      
       Logistic Provision Process
      This is a specialized process used as a placeholder for the station.
     
     
      
       Move Process
      This process represents movement from the vendor to the warehouse or from the warehouse to the station.
     
     
      
       Store Process
      This process represents the storage of parts or raw materials at a warehouse or a station.

Add containers and vehicles by assigning them to the supply chain.Your company may classify containers and vehicles. If so, you can drag them from the Classification view into your structure. Otherwise, you can copy them into the clipboard and paste them to the supply chain object.
Associate the logistics BOP with a plant BOP structure.

Right-click the top node of the logistics BOP structure and choose Link/Associate→Associate Plant BOP.

Select the root node of the plant BOP structure and click .
