Master Data 195

Figure 6-14 presents a component assignment that includes three opera-
tions in the routing and three materials in the BOM. Material A is assigned to
Operation 20, while materials B and C are assigned to Operation 30. The right
side of the fi gure indicates that the materials are consumed at the beginning of
the operations. Any materials that are not explicitly assigned to an operation
are automatically assigned to the fi rst operation and consumed at the beginning
of that operation.

In addition to indicating how and from which materials fi nished goods or
semifi nished goods are produced, the data contained in bills of material, work
centers, and routings are used to determine production capacity. Production
capacity is a measure of how many units of a material a plant can produce
within a given timeframe. For example, GBI’s Dallas plant can produce either
15 bikes or 10 bikes and 50 wheel assemblies per day. Figure 6-15 presents an
example of a production plan for the Dallas plant, utilizing its full capacity.
