4. 2013 Proplanner 2 Reference Section 5 1 6 Moving Part Cycles The WPP application will allow you to define the entry of multiple sequential parts for moving part calculations moving part option only Up to 25 sequential parts can be specified within the standard WPP application A new part entry cycle is specified with the C element type and each cycle may be given a unique name and reference a unique part defined on the Parts tab to help identify the unique work content contained within that cycle If you do not define a cycle as the first element in your routing then the WPP application will assume a part cycle with no name that starts at time O The routing lines that follow the start of a part cycle are directed to that part for all locations on that part This referencing continues to either the start of the next part cycle or to the end of the routing file whichever comes first Obviously the routing lines elements for each part cycle can be different In this way you could model a part with no options in the first cycle followed by a part with many options in the second and third cycles and then back to a no option part in the fourth and final cycle Operators will begin work on a following cycle after they complete work from a previous cycle Thus an operator that is running over the cycle time on a prior part will begin work late on the next part after it may have entered quite a way into the operator s worksta
