Production capability model
Production capability
The production capability information is the collection of information about all
resources for production for selected times and within a selected site, area, process
cell, production unit, or production line. This is made up of capability information
about equipment, material, personnel, and process segments. It describes the names,
terms, status, and quantities of which the manufacturing control system has knowledge.
Production capability also defines the available capability, committed capability,
and unattainable capability of each resource, and each resource within a process
segment.
Personnel capability
Personnel capability is defined as a set of references to persons or personnel classes
committed, available, or unattainable for a defined time. Personnel capability contains
references to persons or personnel classes. Personnel capability identifies the
capability type (available, unattainable, committed), and the time associated with
the capability (e.g. third shift on a specific date).
Specific personnel capabilities are defined in personnel capability properties.
The personnel capability property may include the quantity of the resource referenced,
such as 3 horizontal drill press operators available for the third shift on February
29, 2000.
Equipment capability
Equipment capability is defined as a set of references to equipment or equipment
classes committed, available, or unavailable for a defined time. Equipment capability
contains references to equipment or equipment classes. Equipment capability will
usually identify the capability type (available, unattainable, committed) and the
time associated with the capability (e.g. third shift on a specific date).
Specific equipment capabilities are defined in equipment capability properties.
The equipment capability properties may include the quantity of the resource referenced,
such as 3 horizontal drill presses currently available.
Material capability
Material capability is defined as a set of references to material lots or sublots
committed, available, or unavailable for a defined time. Material capability identifies
the capability type (available, unattainable, committed) and the time associated
with the capability (e.g. third shift on a specific date).
Specific material capabilities are defined in material capability properties. The
material capability properties may include the quantity of the material referenced,
such as 3 sublots in Building 3 of material Starch Lot #12345 committed to production
for February 29, 2000.
Process segment capability
A process segment capability is defined as a logical grouping of personnel resources,
equipment resources, and material that is committed, available, or unavailable for
a defined process segment for a specific time. A process segment capability is related
to a product segment that can occur during production. A process segment capability
may relate to one or more products.
Process segment capability identifies the capability type (available, unattainable,
committed), the time associated with the capability (e.g. third shift on a specific
date).
