A Manufacturing Item specialized for an assembly represented for production. It describes the components and material usage needed for the manufacturing assembly.
When to use it
Use it to represent a production assembly and its manufacturing structure.
Key information
- Estimated cost provides a planning value; distinguish it from a target or actual cost.
- Actual cost records the cost value entered for completed or observed work.
- Assembly method describes the intended production assembly approach.
Common relationships
- Component Usage (Structure): Places a Manufacturing Item within the structure of a Manufacturing Assembly or Manufacturing Component as a component use. Connection details describe how that component is used.
- Material Usage (Structure): Places a Material within the structure of a Manufacturing Assembly or Manufacturing Component as a material input. It records the material required for that use.
- Made From (Non-structure): Connects a Manufacturing Assembly or Manufacturing Component to a Material used as its transformation source. It records what the component or assembly is made from.
Working with this record
Review the production assembly’s composition and assembly method. Connect its component, material, and packaging uses with the appropriate quantities and units, then check the intended manufacturing structure.
Example
Pump Production Assembly PA-100 uses production components and packaging information.
Choosing the right type
Choose Manufacturing Assembly for a production assembly. Item represents engineering definition; Manufacturing Component represents a production component.
