Properties:

▪Each variant is a separate variant for TiCon and in the database.

▪Each of these variants has its own balancing independent of the other variants.

Requirement:

At least one product variant must be assigned in the "Variants" tab to create a mix balancing. A variant key can be assigned to the product variant, but does not have to be. Likewise, a “Variant Key" can be maintained for the elements used for balancing. The variant keys on the product variant and element are used for assigning elements in the balancing.

Tabs

All-variant

This has the advantage that a new assignment can be made (e.g. assigning a worker to a different machine) and that the change is applied to all variants in the mixed balancing.

Working with variant keys

Mix balancing requires that production lines are balanced when manufacturing different production types. For this purpose, one or more variant keys can be assigned to each process.

For a mix balancing it makes sense that the even distribution of elements is not only considered per operator, but per type.

The following chapters describe the use of the variant key and the specific functions of the mix balancing in more detail:

▪Variant Key - Element

▪Variant key - Product

▪Variants tab for balancing various product variants

▪The tab Assignment contains specific functions regarding a mix balancing in order to make it easier to balance different variants.
