It is extremely important that you set up and work within your own site to maintain your data integrity. If you work within any other site, you will compromise your own exercise data as well as the data of other students. Predictable exercise results require that your data be isolated in your own site. |
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to create the required data that will be used in the Discrete Manufacturing exercises. This sets up data for your site that only needs to be done once for Discrete Manufacturing course exercises.

Shop Order Requisition
The fuel system for the racing engine is manufactured using a Just-In-Time system in which the shop order is used as a pull signal for the components. The manufacturing area is set up so that when a carburetor is needed, it is manufactured. Purchased material is available from the supplier in the manufacturing area as well.
You will see that requisitions are created for the next level components when the shop order for the fuel system is released.
Note You must know which requisitions already exist so you can tell which requisitions are newly created. Therefore you will repeat the query in the next step multiple times. The results from the first query will be compared to later results of the same query.
Note Although the shop order has been created, it has not yet been released and the requisitions have not yet been created. Therefore the results from the next query should match the results from the first query.
Note Now that the shop order has been released, the results from the next query should show additional rows for the manufactured next level demand. There should be a new shop order requisition for the carburetor.
