Starting a cluster

Button

Step

 

Open the operations form.

 

Select a cluster line. The Start as a cluster check box appears in the lower-right corner of the image. This check box is selected by default, because the operation is set to be part of a cluster in Isah. If you leave the check box selected, the entire cluster will be started when you start the operation. If you deselect the check box before you start the operation, only the selected operation will be started.

 

Use the Times box to specify a valid combination of 'Labor/machine/Labor+Machine' and 'Setup time/Adjustment time/Cycle time'.

Starting an operation

Click this button to start the cluster. SFC now opens the Current cluster form.

Note: You can start an operation that is part of a cluster only as a separate operation if you have rights to do so. If you don't, you cannot change the value of the Start as a cluster check box.
