--- alias: user-guide-resource-index description: "A resource represents a scarce entity facilitating material processing and storage within a system" --- # Resource :lock: Resource.**Show** In broad terms, a **Resource** represents any scarce entity that participates in the processing or storage of **Material**, such as Equipment. A **Resource** belong to an **Area** and, through it, to a **Facility**. A **Resource** can also contain sub **Resources**. **Resource** of type Component can have multiple parent **Resources**. A **Resource** can be one of the following processing types: 1. Component - a **Resource** that can have multiple parents, that is, it can be shared. 2. Consumable Feed - **Resources** that are used to provide consumables to other **Resources**. 3. Instrument - a **Resource** that is used for measuring a value in a certain unit of measure. 4. Load Port - a **Resource** that serves as an input, output or input/output port for a **Resource**. 5. Process - **Resources** that can process **Material**. 6. Storage - **Resources** that can be used to store and retrieve **Material**. 7. Line - **Resources** for line production. 8. Transport - **Resources** used as transports. A **Resource** provides **Services**. **Services** are special capabilities required for certain processing operations, such as Dispatch Material and Store Material. A **Resource** has a given capacity which can be expressed in terms of number of **Materials** or **Containers** of a specific type. !!! info For Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) purposes the Resource Ideal Cycle Time must be maintained. This information is available in the Ideal Cycle Time tab. ## State Model Critical Manufacturing MES comes with out-of-the-box state models, based on the standards [[user-guide-state-models#semi-e10|SEMI E10]] and [[user-guide-state-models#semi-e58|SEMI E58]] (includes reason text). Each state is associated with a set of attributes which are used to determine the Resource System State: the attribute Basic specifies whether the **Resource** should be Up or Down. This attribute is important because there is a DEE rule that synchronizes the Resource System State with the value stored in this attribute. ```mermaid graph TD subgraph SEMI E10 and SEMI E58 A1[NonScheduled] -->|NonScheduled to Standby| A2[Standby] A2 --->|Standby to Productive| A3[Productive] A2 --->|Standby to UnscheduledDown| A4[Unscheduled Down] A2 --->|Standby to ScheduledDown| A5[Scheduled Down] A2 -->|Standby to Engineering| A6[Engineering] A2 --->|Standby to NonScheduled| A1 A3 --->|Productive to Standby| A2 A4 --->|UnscheduledDown to Standby| A2 A5 --->|ScheduledDown to Standby| A2 A3 --->|Productive to UnscheduledDown| A4 A4 --->|UnscheduledDown to Productive| A3 A6 --->|Engineering to Standby| A2 A6 --->|Engineering to UnscheduledDown| A4 A4 --->|UnscheduledDown to Engineering| A6 end class A1,A2,A3,A6 mermaid_state class A4,A5 mermaid_entitylinked class N1,N2 mermaid_businessdata ``` !!! warning Some reports assume some states and attributes.
