ABSTRACT:
A software-enabled Route Input System (RIS) process facilitates consistent communication among the various entities involved in route creation, where the entities have different tasks and objectives. The primary teams are the process flow definers (IE), individual process owners (PE) and the execution team that assembles the process steps into a final manufacturing flow (RBT). The IE and PE provide process flow sequence and/or process operation details required by the RBT. Additional business rules are applied by the execution team to process the input data into its final form. The RIS assures a high level of quality and consistency in the route build process, which permits more efficient and lower cost operation of the manufacturing line. The RIS may be used with any Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
