How to configure a process step by step
To create and configure the processes of a plant, complete the following minimum required configuration in [Click to configure] select [Processes]. To configure the rest of the fields, access Configuration processes.
Step 1. Configuration for each process
- Process: write the name (e.g: Pulisher Group A) and identifier (e.g: A901) of the process to be configured.
NOTE: If new processes or areas are created, check that they are visible to devices or users.
- Times & resources: configure each field (Calculation, O.T, C.T, M.C.T, C.U, Auto, Min. Oper, Max. Oper.) fundamental for calculating the process availability ratio.
- Next: for linear layouts, determine what the next process is. Utility: if a stop occurs in Machine 1, if it affects Machine 2, the Machine 2 will suffer a "Dependency" (which does not affect the OEE calculation of this) instead of a "Stop".
- Stop & production minimum: define the minimum time for the monitor to consider a production (generally, the time used to manufacture two pieces) and the minimum time from which a stop will not be considered micro-stop and, therefore, it will have to be justified by the user.
- Microstop: in case of detecting a micro-stop in the production, indicate with what status it will be qualified.
- Monitor: indicate if the quality issues (scrap, rework...) are going to be automatically or manually monitorized.
- N. Ratios: selecte if you want the system to notify by email when the selected ratio (OEE, Availability, Speed or Quality) is below the yellow target.
- (IMPORTANT) Ratios: configure the green and yellow objectives for each of the process variables, for more information, see Configuration Ratios.
Step 2. Save changes
- Press
to insert the process configuration into the table. Repeat this action for each process of the plant.
- Press
to make all the changes effective.
NOTE: the commonly configured fields have been presented, to know the definition of the other fields, please go to: Configuration Process.
