Prerequisites

You have created a work center in the system for all the line segments you want to create.

Procedure

  1. In the line hierarchy menu, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Line segments.

    2. The system displays the graphic display of the line hierarchy, which already contains the header of the line hierarchy.

  2. Create the other line segments, that you would like to insert in the line hierarchy.
    1. To do so choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text Line segment.

      2. The dialog box entitled Select line segments appears.

    2. Enter the selection criteria for choosing the work centers, which you want to create as a line segment and select This graphic is explained in the accompanying text .

      3. The system displays a list of the selected work centers.

    3. Select the required work centers and choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text .

The system displays the newly created line segments in the screen section Node area.
  1. In the field Node area, select the line segment that you want to insert and click the line segment in the graphic where you want to insert it

    2. Depending on the default settings, the system inserts the new line segment under or beside the line segment. You can change these settings under Edit ® Default settings ® Insert.

  2. Repeat the previous step until you have inserted all of the line segments.
  3. You can move line segments using drag & drop within the same level of a branch of a line. If, however, you want to change the assignment of a line segment to a line branch, choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text and finally drag a connection line from the higher level line segment to the line segment that you want to assign.
  4. If you have created parallel sequences as feeder production lines in the rate routing, define the line segments in which you want to carry out these sequences. Select a line segment and then choose the menu path Line segment ® Feeder production line ® Define.

    5. The system defines the feeder production line and indicates it by broken lines and broken connection lines.

  5. To display the detailed data for the work center, which is assigned to a line segment, select the line segment and choose Goto ® Work center.

    6. This takes you to the display mode of the work center.

  6. Choose This graphic is explained in the accompanying text .
  7. If you want to test the result in an object tree, choose the tab page Object tree.

    8. You can display the individual capacities of a line segment by expanding the nodes of the object tree. The individual capacities which are used for scheduling are displayed in red.

  8. Save your entries.

Result

You have created the line hierarchy by means of a graphic and have defined the feeder production lines. Now you can insert standard or sort buffers into the line hierarchy and if necessary you can define visualization segments, planning segments or capacity segments.
