What is 'line hierarchy' in SAP PP-FLW - Flow Manufacturing?

line hierarchy - Overview

• Component: PP-FLW

• Component Name: Flow Manufacturing

• Description: Reproduction of the structure of a production line. The production line can be divided into any number of line segments. The line segments can in turn be subdivided into individual subordinate elements. Subdivision is possible over any number of levels. The individual takt areas constitute the lowest level of the line hierarchy. The takt areas are thus the smallest spatial unit of a line. The production line, the line segments, and the subordinate elements are created as work centers in the system and grouped to form a line hierarchy via a graphic.

  Key Concepts: 
  Line hierarchy is a feature of the PP-FLW Flow Manufacturing component of SAP. It is used to define the sequence of operations that are necessary to produce a product. It also defines the resources that are needed for each operation and the order in which they should be used. The line hierarchy is used to create a production plan and to monitor the progress of production. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The line hierarchy is created by defining the operations that are necessary for production, as well as the resources that are needed for each operation. The sequence of operations is then defined, as well as the order in which they should be used. This information is then used to create a production plan and to monitor the progress of production. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a line hierarchy, it is important to consider the resources that are available and how they can be used most efficiently. It is also important to consider any potential bottlenecks or delays that could occur during production. 
  
  Related Information: 
  The line hierarchy feature of PP-FLW Flow Manufacturing is closely related to other features such as resource planning, scheduling, and cost estimation. These features can be used together to create an efficient and effective production plan.
