A complete set of tools to define how and
what you do
The labor, machinery, and tooling elements
of manufacturing can be as crucial as the
component materials you use. These are the
elements that can cause production to come
to a crawl and cause costs to far exceed
projections. The TRAVERSE Routing and Resources
application provides the functionality to
define these important pieces of your manufacturing
software solution.
Working with the Bill of Materials module,
the Routing and Resources application defines
the elements such as work centers, labor,
machinery, and tooling. In terms of costs
and times, these elements make up the process
side of the manufacturing bill of materials.
By breaking down the process in the labor
types, machine groups, and tooling, Routing
and Resources enables you to define operations
as a combination of these elements. Routings
are then created as a set of step-by-step
operations and can be used in the Bill of
Materials application without needing to
be recreated every time.
The system allows for the definition of
queue time, setup time, run time, wait time
and move times. All times are defined in
terms of seconds, minutes, or hours. Overlap
logic is used to determine the rate of pass-through.
Flexible costing algorithms can be set up
for labor and machinery. Overhead methods
can be unique for each work center.
Routing and Resources also provides a sophisticated
base for future customization with a comprehensive
tooling database, labor and machinery pricing
algorithms, and a complete shop calendar
feature.
