        REMANUFACTURING ROUTINGS

        Similar to a standard material planning requirement, routings must be prepared that
        describe the process by which the components are transformed into the parents. In this
        example, routings would be required for:
             242095 Clock, refurbished
             242503 Inner works
             223291 Hands
             142095 Clock disassembly

             Notice that no routing is required for the face (123032) because this is a by-product
        of the disassembly process of the 136958 clock. These routings may have probabilities
        attached to them, similar to the occurrence factors in the BOM. A standard material plan-
        ning system requires that the probabilities be reflected in the routing input to the system.
        A system that has been built specifically for the remanufacturing industry allows the
        entry of occurrence factors separately.
             The routing below could represent the planning routing for the processing of the hands.
