A Manufacturing Item specialized for an individual production component. It can be connected to its material inputs and manufacturing usage.
When to use it
Use it for a component managed in the production definition.
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.
- Lot control policy records the intended lot-tracking 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
Describe the production component and review its sourcing, traceability, and material inputs. Use the appropriate relationship for a component use, material input, or transformation source.
Example
Machined Housing MC-100 is a Manufacturing Component made from aluminum stock.
Choosing the right type
Choose Manufacturing Component for an individual production component. Material identifies an input; Manufacturing Assembly identifies a production assembly.
