Redwood: Complete an Intermediate Operation for a Flow Schedule on a Production Line

Welcome to the demo of the 25C feature complete an intermediate operation for a flow schedule on a production line in Oracle Fusion Cloud Manufacturing. With this feature, you can define a production line, specify the number of line operations, and indicate whether production reporting can be done at the operation level. You can optionally associate line operations to workstations and to count point operations on a work definition.

And more importantly, this feature allows you to report completion at a production line operation for a flow schedule. It addresses the need of lean manufacturers with longer manufacturing cycle times, typically requiring visibility of the work in progress before products are finished on a production line. Interim operation level production reporting helps provide an accurate picture of the materials used without the need to wait for end of line completions.

Now let's walk through a short demo of this feature. In this demo, first, we will see how you can specify the number of line operations for a production line and indicate whether production reporting can be done at the operation level. We will log in to the work definition overview page.

After logging in, we will select the production lines action. We will select an existing production line to review the number of line operations and whether production reporting can be done at the operation level. Next, we will review how production line operation sequences are associated to work definition operations.

We will select the manufacturing work definitions action. We will select an existing flow manufacturing work definition and review how production line operation sequences are associated to work definition operations.

Finally, we will see how you can complete an intermediate operation of a flow schedule. For this, we will log in to the Work Execution Overview page. After logging in, we will select the Flow Schedules Execution action. We will select a production line and click on the View Flow Schedules action. Next, we'll select an intermediate line operation sequence.

For the selected line operation, we will select a flow schedule and click on the Complete with Details button. Next, we will enter the material details. And finally, we will save the transaction.

Here is the data that we would be using in the demo. We will see how completion can be reported at an intermediate operation of a flow schedule executed on tablet assembly line. With this, let's get into the demo.

First, we will see how you can specify the number of line operations for a production line and indicate whether production reporting can be done at the operation level. For this, we have to log in and navigate to the Work Definition Overview page.

After logging in and navigating to the Work Definition Overview page, we will click on the Production Lines action to navigate to the Production Lines page. Next, we will select an existing production line to review the new attributes that have been introduced to support completing an intermediate operation on a production line.

As you can see here, you can specify the number of line operations for the production line and whether production reporting can be done at the operation level. Next, we will review how production line operation sequences are associated to work definition operations.

We will click on the Manage Line Operations action to review the line operations and workstations that have been associated to the production line. The line operation sequences that you see here are automatically generated based on the number of line operations specified for the production line.

You can optionally associate workstations to the line operation sequences to report operation completion from the operator workbench. Next, we will review how production line operation sequences are associated to work definition operations. We will navigate back to the Work Definition Overview page and select the Manufacturing Work Definitions action.

Next, we will select an existing flow manufacturing work definition and review how production line operation sequences are associated to work definition operations.

As you can see here, work definition operations are associated to line operation sequences to support intermediate operation completion for a flow schedule. Next, let's see how you can complete an intermediate operation of a flow schedule. For this, we have to log in and navigate to the Work Execution Overview page.

Being in Work Execution Overview page, we will click on the Flow Schedules Execution action. Next, we will select a production line and click on the View Flow Schedules action. Next, we will select a line operation sequence to report completion.

As you can see here, the flow schedules that have operations associated to the selected line operation sequence are displayed. Next, we will select a flow schedule and click on the Complete with Details button to report completion at the selected operation.

As you can see here, we are navigated to the material details page, requiring additional data to be entered for a component. That would be back flushed upon completing the operation. First, we will scan the component that requires a serial number to be entered.

As you can see here, the cursor is taken to the field where a serial number would need to be scanned. Let's scan the serial number. The details have been entered. Now let's submit the transaction.

As you can see here, the operation has been successfully completed and a toast message is displayed confirming the same. This is how you complete an intermediate operation for a flow schedule on a production line.

To summarize, with this feature, you can define a production line, specify the number of line operations, and indicate whether production reporting can be done at the operation level. You can optionally associate line operations to workstations and to count point operations on a work definition.

And lastly, this feature allows you to report completion at a production line operation for a flow schedule. This concludes the featured demo. Thank you for watching.
