Editing a System-Process Scope

You can edit the scope between a System reference and Process reference. Assignments between processes and systems/operations within this scope may also need to be edited in this case.

Before you begin: Open your data: a product (three parts to assemble A, B and C) with an associated Assemble process structure and an associated system/operation structure.

The root system contains System 1 and System 2.

The Assemble process structure is as follows:


  • Provide A, Provide B
  • Assemble A+B
  • Provide A+B, Provide C
  • Assemble A+B+C

  1. Open the Manufacturing System Definition workbench.

  2. Click Create System Process Scope and create a scope between the Assemble process structure and System 1.

  3. Create an operation called Operation.1 under System 1.

    In the Operation to Process Assignment dialog box, the processes that can be assigned to the operation are listed.

  4. Select all the processes and click OK.

  5. Click Create System Process Scope and create a scope between process "Assemble A+B" and System 2.

    An Information box appears asking you to confirm the scope creation of System 2.

    It lists the processes to be unassigned from System 1 as follows:


    • Provide A achieved by Operation.1 held by System 1
    • Provide B achieved by Operation.1 held by System 1
    • Assemble A+B achieved by Operation.1 held by System 1.

  6. Click OK to create the scope of System 2.

    The scope of System 1 is edited: processes that were previously assigned are now unassigned.
