sub-operation

Production Planning and Control (PP)

A sub-operation is subordinate to an operation.

Sub-operations are used, for example, to allocate persons and machines to an operation for which several persons or machines are needed at the same time.

A sub-operation can be costed, but it cannot be scheduled.

There are, for example, the following types of sub-operations:

• sub-operations of operations in routings

• sub-operations of operations in maintenance task lists
