Configuring Production Unit Properties

Production Unit Properties define settings that are unique to each production unit. The type of unit, the allowable production statuses, the status transitions, production metrics, inventory locations, and the raw material inputs can be defined for each unit. These settings are the default values that are applied initially to a unit in other configuration areas such as the Execution Path configuration.

Many of these properties provide the basis for standard production reporting. They are useful in sorting and grouping data from different units in standard production reports.

To configure production unit properties

  1. In the Plant Applications Administrator, expand the Server Manager tree.

  2. Expand the Plant Model.

  3. Expand the department and production line to which the production unit belongs.

  4. Right-click on the production unit and click Edit <production unit> Properties. The Unit Properties Configuration dialog box appears.

  5. Click the necessary tabs to configure the unit properties and click Save.

  6. Close the Unit Properties Configuration dialog box.
