Define Operation Yield at Work Definition to Model Expected Quantity for an Operation in Discrete Manufacturing

In some manufacturing companies, there may be an expected loss from the production process due to product scrap and nonconformance or processing conditions. Operation yield, sometimes called process yield, is the ratio of usable output quantity from an operation compared to the input quantity. Without consideration for this expected loss, the production process would assume 100% yield and incorrectly estimate the production quantity required to meet demand and the cost of the final product.

With this update, a yield percentage other than the default of 100% can be specified for any operation in a new or existing work definition for discrete manufacturing and then used in calculating the work order material and resource requirements.

Operation yield is used at the time of work order creation to calculate the quantities transferred to each operation, based on the work order quantity so that the inputs, the primary output, and resources required in a production process can be updated according to the expected loss.

On the Dispatch List page, the start quantity is shown when the operation is ready for transactions. Planning utilizes cumulative yield of the work definition to create planned orders and release them to manufacturing for make items. The operation yield can also be factored into the standard cost roll up of a product based on its selected work definition.

File-Based Data Import (FBDI) Changes:

The FBDI for the discrete Work Definition Import, has been enhanced to capture operation yield value for the work definition operations. A new attribute, Operation Yield is added to the existing Work Definition Operations sheet.

Also, the FBDI for the discrete Work Orders Import, has been enhanced to calculate the material and resource requirements based on the operation yield values during work order create as well as update actions.

Application Development Framework desktop integrator (ADFdi) Changes:

ADFdi for Standard Operation is enhanced to capture operation yield value. A new attribute Operation Yield, is added to existing Standard Operations sheet.

Also, the ADFdi for Work Definition is enhanced to capture operation yield value. A new attribute Operation Yield, is added to existing Work Definitions and Operations sheet.

REST API Changes:

You can now specify operation yield values for the standard operations using standardOperations REST API.

You can now specify operation yield values for the work definition operation using the workDefinitionRequests REST API.

Also, you can query and view the operation yield values for the work order operations using WorkOrderOperation child entity of workOrders REST API.

Manufacturers can now maintain just-in-time stock for items, reduce costs, and create data-backed actions to improve process quality.

Tips And Considerations

Consider the following points while using the Operation yield attribute:

• Defaults to 1 (100%) for new discrete manufacturing work definitions
• Can't be a negative value
• Only applies to the work order product (not co-products or by-products)
• Doesn't apply to process manufacturing work definitions and work orders or orderless transactions
• You can create OTBI reports and analyses, and use BICC views to include operation yield in discrete manufacturing work orders
