Location Model Overview

The Location model in TamakiMES is designed to represent the hierarchical structure and characteristics of physical locations within a manufacturing environment. Each location can be a part of a larger organizational structure, support specific types of processes, and include attributes like storage capabilities, inventory strategies, and maximum capacities.

1. locations​

The Location entity represents physical or logical locations within the facility. Locations are hierarchical and can be of various types, such as ENTERPRISE, SITE, AREA, or UNIT, allowing flexible representation from high-level company structures down to specific production units.

2. location_properties​

Defines a property that can apply to multiple locations, such as "Temperature Control" or "Storage Type."

3. location_property_values​

Stores the actual values of properties for specific locations, allowing each location to have unique characteristics based on its configuration.

Summary​

The Location model in TamakiMES provides a robust framework for organizing, managing, and configuring the physical and logical layout of a manufacturing facility. Through hierarchical locations, groupings, and customizable properties, the model supports complex facility structures and flexible inventory strategies.
