| 2 | Create organization level as System Type MI's for each building (location) | MI Type: System 'Production lines Metal processing': Class = Organization, Category = Lines, Parent MI Code: PB01(Production Build 01) 'Internal Logistic' (PBO1): Class =Organization, Category = Maint., Parent MI Code = PB01(Production Build 01) | Yes | Step 02 |
| 3 | Create a detail department level as Position Type MI's | MI Type: Position 'Machining': Parent MI Code = PrLine_MP (Production lines Metal processing), Department = PRMA (Production-Machining) 'Forming': Parent MI Code = PrLine_MS (Production lines Metal processing), Department = PRFO (Production-Forming) 'Finishing': Parent MI Code = PrLine_MF (Production lines - finishing), Department = PRFN (Production-Finishing) Note 02: to create a new MI's with similar data we can use the option 'Duplicate' instead of 'Add'. | Yes | Step 03 |

| 5 | Create assets which are not Resources but are serialized Items (tools, specialist equipment, devices, meters) | MI Type: Asset Assigned Obj.=Yes (Item) 'Controller - saw line': Class = Tools, Category = Mach_Equipment, Parent MI Code = MI00004 (CNC Band Saw...), Item = I000001, Apparatus Type = Tool, Equipment Card= S00001 Department = PRMA (Production-Machining), Fixed Asset No. = FA000014 | Yes | Step 05 |
| 6 | Create assets not defined as Resources or serialized Items but are fixed assets (forklifts, air conditioners, etc.) | MI Type: Asset Assigned Obj.=Yes (Fixed Asset) 'Forklift 1': Class = Transport, Category = Forklifts, Parent MI Code = B01IN_LOG (B01 Internal Logistic), Fixed Asset No. = FA000008, Department = PRMA (Production-Machining), Fixed Asset No. = FA000008 | Yes | Step 06 |
