Routing Instructions

A routing lists the operations that are required to manufacture a product in sequential order. Each operation within the routing identifies specific information such as the work center and time standards for setup, machine run, and labor hours. Routing operations can also include additional information such as required tools and inspections. Each part in a bill of material can be linked to a routing operation to identify the specific routing operation where a part should be issued from inventory and consumed by the product.

Use routing instructions to:

  • Define each step of the manufacturing process with allowances for anticipated yield and scrap for each operation.

  • Add alternate operations to routing instructions.
