Click Production control > Setup > Resources > Properties.

Use this form to assign properties to operations resources. These properties are automatically copied to operations, items, and production orders that are subsequently created for that resource. You can use properties in a variety of ways. For example, you can group similar operations resources so that they can be scheduled at the same time for a particular production. Or you can schedule operations that have inherited properties to run in succession on a particular resource. Properties are also used with production pools.

Example

A series of productions will undergo the same painting operation, which is set up by putting color in a spray-gun. To minimize setup time, productions that are to be painted with any one particular color are grouped. If you use pools and properties together, you can set up sorting criteria so that production pools will wait for productions that have identical properties. For example, you have set up the pool sequence as Pool 1, Pool 2, Pool 3, and so on. Each pool groups productions that share the same properties. Before Pool 1 can proceed to Pool 2, productions with properties 1, 2, and 3 have to be run.
