PPPI_MD_436 - Define Setup Groups and Setup Group Categories

Define setup group categories for operations and phases and subdivide them into setup groups.

In recipes and orders, you can assign a setup group category to each operation and each phase. You can also assign a setup group belonging to the respective category. In this way, you can mark operations and phases which are processed under the same or similar processing conditions and between which little setup activity is required.

In the planning table, you can use the setup group as well as the setup group category for the following purposes:

• as selection criteria within the work list and for dispatching

• as criteria for selecting the color

Setup groups and setup group category thus help to optimize the processing sequence on a resource.

1. Define your setup group categories.
2. Define the setup groups belonging to the respective setup group categories.
