Define execution positions

An execution position is the physical location on the product where an operation is carried out. By associating operations to specific physical areas in the product where they are carried out, you can identify structures that cause long walks between operations.

Use the Execution Position wizard to lead you through the steps necessary to define a position diagram and select the points on it representing where the operations occur.

Procedure

1. In the structure view, right-click the product bill of process (BOP) and choose Define Execution Positions.

Teamcenter displays the Define Execution Positions wizard. You can open this wizard on a partition as well.

2. Type a name, short name, and description for the execution position diagram.

You can specify in the Time Way Plan view settings whether to display the full name or an acronym (Short Name), or modify the view appearance in other ways.

3. Click Image and select an image from the operating system that represents your product.

This image should portray your product in such a way that you can meaningfully select locations on it to represent where operations are taking place.

4. Click Next.

5. Click the area on the image that represents an execution position and enter a name, short name, and description for the execution position.

6. Select a color to represent the execution position.

7. Click Create.

Teamcenter creates the execution position on the image.

8. Repeat the preceding steps until all execution positions are defined.

9. (Optional) Modify the execution position order using the up and down arrows beside the Execution Order list.

The execution order is the order in which the execution positions are displayed on the station.

10. (Optional) Modify the name, short name, description, or color of an execution position by selecting it in the Execution Order list and clicking Edit.
