What is the routing in the Manufacturing Planning & Control (MPC) system?

The routing defines a specific step-by-step method of manufacture necessary to take a component, or set of components, and produce a parent. For every parent item in the manufacturing process, a BOM and routing are maintained. The routing detail is arranged in the order or sequence of the single-level manufacturing process.

·         Each step is assigned a number or operation identifier.

·         For each operation, the department and work center where the work is to be performed are identified;

·         The expected hours of machine setup, equipment changeover, or cleanup time is described; and

·         The expected time to complete the operation for a single item (or piece), known as the operation standard, is described.

Additionally some routing files allow users to maintain other support information, such as

·         The labor grade required to perform the work and

·         Any tooling or fixtures required to support the operation process.

I cannot understand your question clearly but what I could understood and can say is the process synchronization.

Routing is the optimised layout of the process & tasks from Raw-material to Finished-product and finally storage & dispatch.

Routing in MPC is aimed at increasing productivity, efficiency, reduction in wastages and improving quality. 

I definitely will not argue with the answer provided by who gave the original question ....    well-done!!

Agree with Mr,: Mohammed thiab

Mr,: Arinjay too

Routing is the operations and the squence of the operation that are needed to be performed in order to produced finished goods
