Creating a relationship between product and process structures

After you define all operations and activities that comprise a manufacturing process, establish a relationship between the process and the part it manufactures. To do this, associate the part as a target item of the process.

You can also assign product parts to the process structure with a specific occurrence type. The following table lists some of the available occurrence types.

Occurrence type	Use
ME Assign	Used when assigning parts to processes.
MEConsumed	Used by the operation that takes a part out of the bin.
METool	Used to assign tools to processes and operations.
MEResource	Used to assign equipment to processes and operations.
ME Assemble	Used by the operation that attaches the part to the product.
ME Disassemble	Used by operations when they disassemble a part.
ME Handle	Used when all other relationships to an operation do not apply.
ME Feature Assign	Used when assigning manufacturing features to operations.
METarget and MEOther	Used for other types of assignments that do not involve consuming, handling, assembling, or disassembling for operations and assignment for processes.
