Routings and Processes
You can use three programs to create routings or processes.
Typically, you define routings in Routing Maintenance (14.13.1) where production run time is expressed as the average time required to manufacture a single unit.
Use Routing Maintenance (Rate Based) (14.13.2) in a high-volume production environment where run time is expressed in terms of an hourly production rate.
Use Process Definition Maintenance (15.13) when run time is expressed as the average time to process an entire batch.
