Module Objective
The Master Activity module serves as the master data hub for defining all standard activities, stages, or sections within the production process. Each activity created here (e.g., "Formulation Activity", "Baking Activity") will become a reusable building block when defining the production process flow (routing) for each product.
1. Main View (Activity List)
The main page of this module displays a list of all standard production activities that have been defined.
View Explanation
-
View: This page is a list of all existing activities. You can see the Activity Name, standard Duration, and a brief Description.
-
Action Buttons:
-
[Add]: The primary button to create a new standard activity.
-
2. Steps to Add a New Activity
Step 1: Create a New Activity
From the Main View, click the [Add] button to open the Add Activity form.
Step 2: Fill in Activity Details
On the form that appears, fill in the basic activity information:
-
Activity Name: Enter a clear name for the process stage (e.g., Mixing, Baking, Cooling, Packaging).
-
Duration: Enter the estimated standard duration required to complete this activity.
-
Description: Provide additional explanation regarding the activity.
Step 3: Save
After all data is filled in, click the [Save] button to save the new activity.
Workflow & Integrated Business Process
-
This module is a preparatory step before you can create a detailed production process flow.
-
The activities you define here will become the options when you build the Production Routing or workflow in another module, which will determine the sequence of steps for making a product.
Tips & Important Notes
-
Ensure the standard Duration is filled in as accurately as possible, as it will become the basis for production scheduling and capacity calculations.
-
This is a fundamental master data module that should be set up by the Industrial Engineering or PPIC team.
