Work Center - Break time and shift sequence

[Former Member]

Hello Friends.

I need some help with OP4A transaction. The need is: especify exact break times for activity schedule!

Here in the company, our workday goes like this:

Start at 07:30AM

End at 5:33PM

we have a 10min break for coffee between: 9:30Am - 9:40Am

Then, for launch goes like this: 11:25AM to 12:40PM

The third break start at 3:30PM to 3:40PM

How to create this configuration in the three steps (below) of OP4A???

work break schedules

Shift definitions

Shift sequences

I've tried a lot, but i couldnt understand the logic of the transaction.

I appreciate any help!

Thanks in advance.

1) Create first a group

2) Under this grouping: create work break schedule, identify each of them with distinct number. Under each break, you can various (2 or 3 or 4 or any number )break numbers. e.g. 9-9:30 for B/fast, 12-12:30 for lunch and so on

3) Create shifts per day in the shifts data, mention the time of oeprating for each shift and assign the break( under break, you have multiple break numbers)

4) IN last step of 'shift sequence', create one unique sequnce under which you can define which is the first,second shift under that sequence. Now for each working day, you can assign the earlier created shifts for each day.

Once this config is ready, you need to assign, the grouping and factory calendar in work center. Also maintain the same, in 'shift sequences' in work center, the validity date for the shift sequences.

Hello Mahendra!!!

I appreciate your time to help me.

I did exactly as you said, a good explanation and now I think I understand. I will post detailed information of my steps for you to make sure that is correct:

First the group: (ZTK is an abbreviation of the company)

Second, I've the break schedules under the same name only changing the "Break Number":

Third, the shift definitions....i was a little confused in this step. Check out if I did correctly: (I've created one shift per day and assigned the same Break schedule to all shift definitions)

Fourth, the shift sequence

That's all. Is the concept correct?

And below the config of my Work Center master with the break schedule: (I did the config in "Capacity" tab and then "Interval" on the top of the page)

Below, I have two intervals, I don't know what means but the system will not let me delete the first item.

the shift sequence in detail....

I flagged "Scheduling with breaks" option in OPU6 transaction too....

Just add new interval date which can be from the date today or any date which is ahead of old date.

I think you are good to go now.

Ok

The date in work center is ahead of the date on OP4A and the schedule on networks already works.

So i guess it's everything working the way that should be!

Mahendra,

Thank you very much for your time. Helped a lot on my config.

Best wishes!
