Introduction

This document

provides a detailed explanation of

explains the job routing tables, the Routing Group tables,

what

their functions

are

, and how they work together. Job routing

is used to

manages the transfer of jobs to an outside source or regional processing center for production and

/or

coating based upon account and product group mapping.

Priority Number Assignments - Layering

The routing system will works best be when set up to manage a set of rules in a hierarchical approach. It is important to remember that priority numbers are sorted from highest to lowest number and used to select routing rules in a specific order. The system will find the first match (highest priority number) based on the routing and /or group definition and use that rule to route a job. If a job does not match the definition of a routing rule, it will then drop down to the next rule and try to match it. Once a match is madematched, the job will route to the specified site. The Therefore, the correct structure of the group table definitions is imperative. Priority Number, System ID, and other fields are not mandatory, but the priority number is mandatory in the Job Routing Reason and Control Manager Menu. Although not mandatory, the priority number is also useful when used in the Group Control table to assist in assigning the group to assign a specific routing rule of . You can use the same priority number in both tables makes it easy to identify but not mandatory. The Group Control Name Set is used as a trigger in the Job routing Reason and Control Manager. Fill in only the fields needed to identify the required information.

Example: You may want to group a specific set of progressives with a specific coating. You can do so by creating create a Group Style Name Set with several entries using the type code for each applicable progressive. Then, create a Group Lite-up Name Set for the coating and combine the two tables within the Group Control table.

Keys to this hierarchy are:

  • Account groupings which will be - assigned to a local lab as a default.
  • Process groupings which will be - assigned to processing centers that can do specific processes such as digital processing.
  • Product groupings which combine combined with the two groupings above.
  • Order attribute groupings: For example, Frame-to-come suggests that the order should be edged at a local lab even though surfacing may be get done at a digital lab. Uncut orders could be sent directly to a digital lab.

Example:Top-level (highest priority) – Management of customer and

/ or

product name sets. A combination of group account name set and product name set (s) = one rule.   At this level, we are mainly assigning group names to accounts, products, and processes.

We

Therefore, we do not trigger routing at this level

. We’re

, just associating group names with the order

, so we can

to use these group names in the next levels.

Example: A combination of a group account name set and product name set (s) = one rule. This name set is then used as a trigger in the Job Routing Reason and Control Manager.

  • Mid-level (mid priority) – Management of uncut distribution.
  • Low-level (lowest priority) – Management of edged jobs or uncut work processed at the local site.

Group Name Sets

Name sets are were designed to associate a number of several entries into one group or table. These names sets can then be used in combination Therefore, you can combine these name sets with other name sets to create a job routing rule.

Example: An Create an account group name set could be created to include accounts specific to a region or processing center.

Name sets can also be created to define groups of productproducts.

Example: A product name set can then be combined with an account group name set and /or a group lite-up table defined to allow or disallow a specific coating(s).   Any Combine any group of tables or names name sets within the group control menu can be combined to create a routing rule.

Doing this will allow you to sneak in additional priorities as they apply to a situation.   For example, you decide to route all Crizal jobs, so you assign it a priority of 10,000prioritize 999,100.  You also decide to route all glass jobs, so you assign it a priority of 10999,100200Every thing Everything is working well until you realize you don’t want to route Crizal jobs that need to must be tinted.  Because you left space, you can now assign your new routing requirement for tinted Crizal 10999,050. The  The priority number used can be the same number that was used in the Group Control table for consistency.

  • Time of Day
    • 24 Hour time: 100 = 1:00AM, 2330 = 11:30PM.
  • Beginning Date: Date Range
  • Day of the Week fields are built to be a range. (0 through 6, 1 through 5, etc.) You cannot have an entry such as 6 through 0 for Saturday and Sunday only. You would need to set up two entries—one for each day. One would be range 0 through 0, and the other would be range 6 through 6. Also, the routing rule date range is based on the job calculation date, so the job would have to be calculated within the date range for the routing to be picked up.

Example:

Let’s say the date range is 6 through 6, and if the order came in on days 0 through 5, would it be routed on day 6?  

Answer: No. Any day between 0 and 5 would fail the first test. For example, day 1 is less than the beginning day (day 6), so we’d ignore the rule for that reason. Likewise, the routing comment “Will route to xxxxx” may print on the work ticket but still be ignored.

Similarly, if the range was 6 through 6 and a job came in on day 6 without a calculation error, it would be routed. Again, to be clear, the tests are based on the day of the calculation (not the day the job came in).   So, if the job came in on day 1 and was recalled on day 6, it could route on day 6 if the range begins and ends on day 6.   This is essentially the same logic that would apply if you recalled a job and turn on a lite-up that might trigger a routing rule. We’d then route the order on the recall.

In short: The system will route the job successfully based on whether the calculation date is within the range in the routing rule. If calculated outside the range specified in the rule, it gets ignored.

  • Time of Day - 24 Hour time: 100 = 1:00AM, 2330 = 11:30PM. If left blank, all times are considered
  • Beginning Date Range through Ending Date Range - Enter range values if applicable.
