Process Model (Formulas + Routings) Features and Functions

• Process model (formulas + routings) includes by-products, co-products, recycles, and waste


• Multiple process models for the same item


• Direct consumption or production of all resources (for example, electricity, water, steam, and waste)


• Automatically calculates or recalculate the total component weights and volume


• Dynamic recipe adjustment based on the actual characteristics of ingredients


• Yield percentages are defined and calculated cumulatively for each operation


• Process quality characteristics, expected results, tolerances, and testing procedures can be defined for ingredients, process steps, products


• Calculates operation yield and overlap percentages


• Records the production of any co-product during operations


• Standard product model can contain multiple characteristic specifications


• Generates a production model for a particular item


• Dependent models are associated with their templates


• Distinguishes between resources used proportionally in a batch operation by batch size, and processing time


• Tracks produced and recycled resources for defined tasks


• Tracks by-product for defined tasks


• Tracks waste products for defined tasks


• Resources used in a task are expressed as percentages


• Production models are broken into single or combined operations and are used for scheduling or by management


• Provides standard yield percentages for each model task


• Task reporting can be turned on and off


• Task reports can include yield, resource production, and production consumption


• Multiple produced items can be modeled from a single feedstock
