Business Term Definition
A line hierarchy represents the structure of a production line. You create line hierarchies in the component Line Design. You can split the production line into as many line segments as required. The line segments can in turn be split into individual sub elements, such as processing stations.
SAP Portal: Production lines are used as work centers in the planning of flow manufacturing and repetitive manufacturing. A production line can be either a grouping of several processing stations or an individual processing station.
In the simplest case, it is sufficient to create two work centers for the entire production line.
However, you can also subdivide the line and create a work center for each processing station. You then select one of the work centers (generally the bottleneck work center) and enter it in the Production Line field in the production version. The system uses this work center for scheduling and capacity planning. You can also use the "Line Design" component to subdivide the production line into individual elements and represent this structure as a line hierarchy.
