By using the drop-down button Generate process elements, you can create process elements from a time study. There are two available options: Based on the selection on the ribbon, a process element is created for the time study and one for each process section or a process element is created for a selected process section. The created process elements can be used for being analyzed further with MTM or used in TiCon Takt.
A dialog opens, in which code and description are automatically filled with the values from the time study. It is possible to make further entries. The generated element with the process sections adopts Starts, Includes, Ends and Limitations of the time study. Process indicators are also adopted.
Dialog for generating a process element from a time study
Please note: |
When creating a process element, the required element configuration must be allowed in the target folder. |
In accordance to the Create structure level dialog, here you have the following options:
•Apply texts
All contents of the text tabs of the time study or process sections, from which the Generate process elements function was opened, are transferred.
•Apply values of criteria
When using the function Apply criteria values, all entered values of the time study or process sections, from which the function Generate process elements was opened, are transferred. If new values are supposed to be entered, the option may not be active. By clicking > Continue, the user has the option to enter criteria of the new element. The criteria corresponded to the element configuration selected in the first step.
•Take over additional objects
When using the function Apply additional objects, all permitted additional objects of the time study or process sections, from which the Generate process elements function was opened, are transferred.
•Open element
If the checkbox is active, the element will be opened after it has been created. The status of the check boxes is saved in the personal profile of the user.
Created process element is displayed
By generating process elements from time studies and their sections, it is possible to balance process sections and time studies.
Workflow:
•Perform a time measuring, until reliable time data is available.
•Create element from time measuring, which includes the process with all process sections
•Each process section is saved as separate process element with a specified time and can then be used for balancings.
Please note: |
Time studies can only be used for balancings, after they have been generated to analyses. |
