Revising and Recalculating an Operational Definition

Access the Manage Calculated Operational Definition form.

No. of IPKs (number of in-process kanbans): Displays the calculated number of in-process kanbans between operations.
Operation Number: Displays the number of the operation that you have assigned a task either manually or by calculation.
Operation Name: Assigns a name to each operation.
Overlap Prev Sequence (overlap previous sequence): Define tasks as overlapping in the sequence of events; you can do so here to help balance the workflow.
Task Group: Define tasks within an operational definition as a group. If you group tasks in this way, the operational definition calculation treats the task group as a single entity when assigning operations.
Sequence Time: Displays the duration of a task within an operation. The system typically retrieves this value from the task on the sequence of events or standard sequence of events. In cases in which you have defined a static quantity, the system calculates sequence time.
Cumulative Time: Displays the sequence times cumulatively for a process. The total time should be less than Takt time to facilitate effective balancing of operations.
Insert Task: Select a task and click to insert a task before the selected task.
Remove Task: Select a task and click to remove the task from the operational definition.
Move Task: Click to move a task from its present location to a new location defined by the line number that you specify.
Calculation Basis: Displays the sequence of events as the calculation basis when calculating the operational definition for the first time. For any subsequent calculations, the operational definition serves as the calculation basis. If you change the calculation basis manually, the system displays a warning. You can override the warning and recalculate the operational definition.
Print: Click to generate the DFM Operational Definition Detail report (RF30L951), which lists the results of the operational definition that you calculated.
Save and Close: Overwrites any previously calculated operational definition for this product and process when you save the calculated operational definition.
