Parallel Execution of Production Operations
This parallel execution of production operations functionality allows dividing a single operation into smaller pieces to be processed in parallel across several workstations. It's possible to define in the Routing that an operation is split across all workstations in the same group.
This functionality can be enabled at Settings -> System settings -> Professional functions -> Parallel execution of production operations
When this function is turned on:
- The Parallelize column becomes available in the Routing Details with a checkbox (Yes/No) on every operation line.
- If the Parallelize option is enabled for an operation, it will be divided into smaller parallel operations among all available workstations of the same group.
- Then approximately: Operation duration = Cycle time x Quantity / Number of workstations*
* The actual planned duration may differ due to workstation productivity and availability differences.
