New graph-based concept

Diagram

Requirements

Technology

• new data model in which we have a list of operations, their outputs and inputs
• each operation can have multiple output products which are not waste
• we configure each output/input to define what happens to the product
• dependencies can be optionally added
• the technology it self can have multiple output products
• the goal of an technology migth be to:
  • produce a certain product or multiple products
  • process certain a component or multipe  components

Production orders

• two types:
  • for line - nearest to the current concept
  • master -which combines many orders for lines
• we totally redefine our warehouse integration
• production orders can represent an order to:
  • produce a certain product or multiple products
  • process certain a component or multipe  components

Calculations

• the simplified algorithm would return and would be available for technologies without well defined dependencies
• the normal algorithms would be defined for technologies with well defined dependencies
• these calculations would also have take into account that the technologies can have multiple output products
• a big reimplementation is required because we wont be basic assumption that the technology is a tree will be gone

Risks

• because of the new integration model batch numbers for production orders inputs and outputs could become mandatoty for communication between system
• this gives us a lot of flexibility to register and balace many types of production but calculations may not be possible for all dependency configurations
• the dependancy editor would have to be a totaly new visual component if we would not want to have z fully tabular less intuitive GUI
• generation production order for lines from a master production order may by quite complex and require interaction with the user
