Route operations are the list of operations that make up a route. Each route operation can override some operation settings such or SMV or piece rate.
Operation settings can also be overridden on an article level, this is done by selecting an article before changing the values.
Addressing Strategy ✎
The addressing strategy for the route operation. This could be 'even split' or 'waterfall' for example. If this is left empty, the inherited addressing strategy will be used instead.
See Topic Addressing Strategy.
Operation ✎
The base operation that should be performed.
Operation settings for station group, addressing strategy, SMV and piece rate are inherited from the base operation by default, but can be overridden on the route level.
SMV ✎
The SMV (standard minute value) is the given time that should be taken by a qualified operator to complete an operation, if that operator works at a sustainable pace. If this is left empty, the SMV will fallback to an inherited value.
Piece Rate ✎
The Piece Rate is the value in any given currency that an operator will be paid for producing a single production unit. This is based on the amount of operations performed rather that the time that it takes to complete the operation. If this is left empty, the piece rate will fallback to an inherited value.
Active ✎
Operations in a route can be inactivated, which means that products will skip that step in the route.
There are a few exceptions to this, such as a production route cannot have an inactivated loading or unloading operation. An empty carrier return route must end with an empty carrier return operation.
Station Group ✎
The station group assigned to a route operation is a list of stations where the operation can be performed. If this is left empty, an inherited station group will be used instead.
Stations and rails in the station group are prioritized according to the addressing strategy.
Rule ✎
Some operations should not always be performed for certain variants of the product. When a rule is set, the operation will only be performed if certain criteria are set on the order line.
The criteria can be split into different groups. All criteria in a group need to match, but any one of the groups can be a match.
Example, two groups
1: BLUE + LARGE
2: RED + SMALL
In this case the operation will be skipped for all other variants than blue large products or red small products.
Loading and Unloading operation always need to be performed and cannot be conditional.
Transfer Route ✎
When transferring a bundle to a carrier the system needs to know which route the carrier should continue on.
Likewise, when transferring a carrier to a bundle the system needs to know which bundle route it should belong to.
