For Sustainability analysis, you can assign any number of Secondary Processes to each
material in your BoM.
Important: When assigning processes to a material, ensure that you
assign a single Primary Process, and that any Secondary Processes follow in
order of application. If the processes are not listed in the correct order, the
analysis will not be carried out correctly.
For more information about the types of process you can assign to the BoM, and how
they are used in Sustainability analysis, see Assigning processes for Sustainability.
To assign a Secondary Process:
-
Identify the Material, and assign the secondary processes:
-
Right-click the Material and select
-
Use the Explore search window to find a Secondary Process, then
right-click and choose Assign.
Tip: To change the ordering of the processes in the BoM, right-click
and use Move up or Move
down.
-
Specify the Quantity and Unit of
Measure for the Secondary Process.
- For a subtractive process that has Process dimension Mass
removed (such as machining or grinding), you must specify
the mass of material that is removed, either as an absolute value in
units of mass, or as a % (by weight) of the mass of the material
immediately before this process is applied.
- For a non-subtractive process that has a Process dimension in units
other than mass (such as cutting and trimming, with dimension
Area, or laser machining, with dimension
Length), you must specify the
Quantity as an absolute value, in the appropriate
Unit of Measure.
- For a non-subtractive process that applies to the entire material (such
as deep drawing), the Process dimension is Mass of
part, and the Quantity and
Unit of Measure are automatically set to
100% when you assign the process.
-
To assign another Secondary Process to the Material, repeat the steps
above.
