Use
The line resource in the APO determines the working times and the rates of the line. It is a resource type that is specially designed for the requirements of
takt-based scheduling. A line resource is generated in the APO for each production line that you create in the DI system. The line resource is the basis for production planning in the APO.Integration
The line resource is automatically generated from the line node when iPPE data is transferred from a DI system into the APO. The APO copies the name, which you specified in the basic data for the line in the Line Resource field, and the plant, which you also specified in the basic data.
In the APO you complete the line resource with data that is relevant to planning, such as the shift sequence, production rates, or product-dependent rates.
Features
In the line resource you can also choose whether you want to connect the base rate for takt-based scheduling (rate-independent takt time).
