Prerequisites
  • If a supply warehouse will be used, the warehouse is defined and active.
  • If a parent work center will be selected, that work center is active.

A work center is the place where the operations in a routing are performed. Its capacity is the calendar of the production plan and of the capacity load; the supply warehouse is the warehouse where the production order's material is staged and consumed.

Steps​

  1. Open the Üretim › Ana Veriler › İş Merkezleri (Production › Master Data › Work Centers) screen and click Yeni İş Merkezi (New Work Center).
    Open screen/erp/manufacturing/work-centersExpected: The Yeni İş Merkezi (New Work Center) window opens
  2. Enter the work center's name in the Ad (Name) field. The Kod (Code) is proposed from the name (upper case, Turkish characters simplified); overwrite it if necessary.
    EnterAdValue: Demo Son Kontrol HücresiExpected: DEMO-SON-KONTROL-HUCRESI is proposed in the Kod (Code) field
  3. Select Makine (Machine), İşçilik (Labor) or Diğer (Other) from the Tür (Type) list.
    SelectTürValue: İşçilik
  4. If necessary, select the Üst iş merkezi (Parent work center), Tesis (Plant), Besleme deposu (Supply warehouse) and Sorumlu (Responsible); enter a Açıklama (Description) and Sıra (Sequence).
    SelectBesleme deposu
  5. To define capacity, turn on the Kapasite tanımlı (Capacity defined) switch; enter Vardiya (Shift), Mola (dk) (Break, min), Kullanım oranı (%) (Utilization, %), Bireysel kapasite (Individual capacities) and Çalışma günleri (Working days). The Günlük kapasite (Daily capacity) is calculated.
    ClickKapasite tanımlıExpected: Günlük kapasite: 480 dk (8 sa) (Daily capacity: 480 min, 8 h)

    4. 4Capacity defined
    5. 5(Shift − break) × utilisation × units
    6. 6Create
  6. If there are several machines or workbenches of the same type, add each with a name and code using Bireysel Kapasite Ekle (Add Individual Capacity).
    ClickBireysel Kapasite Ekle
  7. Click Oluştur (Create).
    ClickOluşturExpected: The work center appears in the list as Aktif (Active)
Result
The work center is saved as Aktif (Active) and appears in the list; it can now be selected for routing operations. If capacity is defined, the capacity load uses this calendar.

What you need to know​

  • If no capacity is defined, planning assumes an 8-hour weekday for the work center; the capacity load does not show available time.
  • Daily capacity = (shift − break) × utilization × individual capacities. The break must be shorter than the shift, utilization must be greater than 0 and at most 100, and at least one working day must be selected.
  • If the shift end is before the start, the shift runs past midnight (night shift).
  • Work centers and individual capacities are not deleted; to take one out of use, turn off the Aktif (Active) switch. An inactive work center cannot be selected for a new routing or document; past orders are not affected.
  • Workstations, equipment and activity rates are added from the work center card: Work centers.
