These articles describe how to create lines/groups in ELAM Administration for wards and what they are used for.
To create a new line, click in ELAM Administration on Stations > Select an existing station or create a new one > Enter a new line name in the Line / Group field or select an existing one.
New stations that are created are always assigned to lines/groups. If no line/group is assigned to the station, the station is automatically added to the line with a default name "Without line/group assignment". The assignments of lines to stations can be changed at any time. The line/group name exists as long as at least one station is assigned under it.
Tip: You can also change the assignment of stations to lines in the list of stations simply by drag & drop.
An example process for sequential production for variants that are sent to Station 01 started and at the last station 05:
In this example, the number of completed variants is increased in the evaluation by +1 for Line 1 incremented when the variant is at Station 05 is completed.
An example process for parallel production of variants that are produced at individual stations (OP100-500):
In this example, the number of completed variants is incremented by +1 for Line 2 in the evaluation if the variant is started and completed at stations OP100, 200, 300, 400 or 500.
Tip: You can also assign only one station to a line/group if the start and completion for the variant take place at the same station. This allows you to compare the number of completed variants between individual stations later on.
