Location Model Overview
The Location model in TamakiMES is designed to represent the hierarchical structure and characteristics of physical locations within a manufacturing environment. Each location can be a part of a larger organizational structure, support specific types of processes, and include attributes like storage capabilities, inventory strategies, and maximum capacities.
1. locations
The Location entity represents physical or logical locations within the facility. Locations are hierarchical and can
be of various types, such as ENTERPRISE, COMPANY, SITE, AREA, LINE, CELL_GROUP, CELL, and UNIT, allowing
flexible representation from high-level company structures down to specific production units.
2. location_properties
Defines a property that can apply to multiple locations, such as "Temperature Control" or "Storage Type."
3. location_property_values
Stores the actual values of properties for specific locations, allowing each location to have unique characteristics based on its configuration.
Summary
The Location model in TamakiMES provides a robust framework for organizing, managing, and configuring the physical and logical layout of a manufacturing facility. Through hierarchical locations, groupings, and customizable properties, the model supports complex facility structures and flexible inventory strategies.
