Reference Operation Set
Definition
A type of routing that comprises of a series of operations that recur frequently. It is used to create a routing.
Use
A reference operation set cannot be used directly in production.
To reduce the effort needed to create a routing, you can
All the changes you make in the reference operation set are automatically implemented in the referenced operations of the routing.
If you have referenced a reference operation set in a routing, you can unlock this reference. In this case the operations of the reference operation set are copied into the routing and can be changed there. The connection to the reference operation set no longer exists, which means that any changes in the reference operation set are not transferred to the routing.
Operations are copied from the reference operation set to the new routing and can also be changed there. Changes you make in the reference operation set have no effect on the routing.
Structure
A reference operation set has the same structure as a routing. You cannot assign a material to be produced to a reference operation set. It can have neither parallel nor alternative sequences.
