Documentation
Definition
You can use this indicator in the case of procedures for production smoothing/leveling (Heijunka) to specify that the dispatching of planned orders in sequencing is based on the equal distribution principle.
Use
This indicator is only relevant if you use planning periods comprising several "subperiods". This is the case, for example, if you use 1 day as the planning period, and the available capacity for that day comprises several shifts. The parameter is also relevant to all periods that consist of several days.
In the case of equally distributed dispatching, all planned orders to be dispatched in a planning period are distributed equally over the "subperiods" before the sequence within the subperiods is determined. This ensures even utilization of capacity within the planning period, especially in the case of planning periods comprising several days.
If this indicator is not set, all planned orders in a planning period are dispatched at the start of the planning period.
Dependencies
Example
You use the production smoothing procedure together with a PPC planning calendar that uses weeks as planning periods. A standard available capacity of 5 working days without shifts is used. The existing pool of planned orders for dispatching is sufficient to utilize 80 % of the capacity for the relevant planning period (1 week).
If the dispatching of planned orders is based on the equal distribution principle, all planned orders are distributed within the planning period before the creation of sequences, so that if possible all the days of the week a capacity utilization of 80%. However, order splitting takes place. The sub-day sequence of the planned orders is then determined and they are dispatched consecutively from the start of the day onwards.
Without equally distributed dispatching, a sequence is determined for all planned orders in the planning period. Dispatching takes place at the start of the planning period. In this case, 100% of the capacity is utilized on the first 4 days of the planning period, whereas 0% is utilized on the fifth day.
