Intended learning outcomes: Disclose the business object “technology and process». Explain the process train (processor-oriented production structure, recipe) and its objects for master data and order data.
17.4.1 Process, Technology, and the Processor-Oriented Production Structure
As already mentioned in Section 8.2.1, product design requires a knowledge of the technologies that can be used in manufacturing processes. Such technologies and processes must be defined in a suitable manner. Figure 17.4.1.1 contains a simple structure.
Fig. 17.4.1.1 Technology and process.
A processor-oriented production structure (or a process train) is a combination of objects described in Section 8.2.2, such as process stage, basic manufacturing step, and resource.
Figure 17.4.1.2 contains a data model for the processor-oriented production structure.
Fig. 17.4.1.2 Process train (processor-oriented production structure, recipe): objects for master data and order data.
The processor-oriented production structure defined in this way may be regarded as an extension of the model of a convergent product structure in Figure 17.2.8.2. Interestingly, the processor-oriented production structure also corresponds to the processor-oriented order structure. In this case, a stage corresponds to a partial order. An order position is now always work (an operation) to which the other order positions (resources) are assigned. [note 1707]
