In this menu option you define strategy profiles to control capacity leveling with the planning tables.

Strategy profiles are not relevant for the extended evaluation.

In the first section you define parameters to control scheduling, that is, the dispatching of individual operations.

Parameters relevant to the capacity planning table are:

  • Finite scheduling

    It is only if you have set this indicator that the system takes account of competing requirements for the capacities.

  • Plan. direction forwards

    If you set this indicator, then when the system dispatches operations automatically it schedules them forwards towards the future.

    If the indicator is not set then the system schedules backwards.

  • Dispatch at earliest point in time

    You must set this indicator if an operation is to be dispatched at the earliest point in time in the planning period. The system does not take account of the earliest/latest dates of the operations.

  • Cancel dispatching due to error

    You can use this indicator to ensure that the system stops planning the current order if an error occurs because of an activated function (for example, material not available).

  • Dispatching sequence

    You use this indicator to define the sequence in which the operations displayed and selected are to be sorted and dispatched. Here you can enter a

  • Planning in non-work periods

    You use this indicator to specify that operations can be dispatched to non-work periods without you having to change the available capacities at the work centers.

    In dispatching, the calendars, operating times and available capacities at work centers are ignored and instead the following data is used:

    Operating time    00:00 to 24:00

    Efficiency rate    100%

  • Rescheduling with production version

    This indicator is only relevant for planned orders. You use it to specify that when rescheduling an operation the production version is copied to the planned order in which the new work center is entered as the production line. The planned order is scheduled with the new routing and dispatched to the new production line.

    The prerequisites for this are:

    • the old and the new work centers specified in the routings for these production versions are not assigned to more than one operation.

      If these prerequisites are not fulfilled then the system carries out scheduling using the formulas from the new work center but the old standard values and the operation is dispatched to the new work center.

      If, in addition to the indicator Reschedule with production version you have set the indicator Cancel rescheduling with production version then rescheduling is cancelled if one of the prerequisites mentioned above is not fulfilled.

  • Terminate when dispatching with production version

    This indicator is only effective if the indicator Rescheduling with production version has also been set. It specifies that rescheduling of a planned order to another work center is terminated if the new work center is not entered as the production line in a production version for the material.

  • Date entry when dispatching

    If you set this indicator then only manual as opposed to automatic dispatching is possible. That means that after the planning table function Dispatch has been triggered, a dialog box appears in which a desired time and/or a desired work center can be displayed.

  • Change planning direction

    If you set this indicator the system searches the whole planning period for remaining available capacity when dispatching operations.

    The system looks for remaining available capacity first in the planning direction. If it does not find any here then it searches in the opposite direction. direction specified in the strategy profile.

    The indicator Insert operation must not be set. If it is set then the system only searches in the planning direction specified in the strategy profile.

Parameters relevant to theCapacity planning table and for the capacity planning table (tabular form) with periodic-continuous display are:

  • Insert operation

    You must activate this indicator if one or more operations are to be dispatched at a particular point in time. Operations in an existing commitment are shifted according to the planning direction. Their sequence remains the same.

  • Close gaps

    With this indicator you can trigger actions to follow the deallocation of an operation. The gaps that arise when an operation is deallocated can be closed by shifting neighbouring commitments into the gap.

  • Dispatching to best point in time

    If you set this indicator then operations are dispatched to existing commitments in such a way as to increase the setup times at the work centers as little as possible.

    To adjust the setup times of the operations at the work centers and reschedule the operations accordingly you have to follow up by executing the function "Automatic adjustment of setup time".

    The functions Dispatch at best time for setup and automatic adjustment of setup time do not calculate the setup times using the setup times in the operations but instead the setup standard values stored in the setup matrix for the appropriate setup transitions.

    If you activate Dispatch at best time for setup then you also have to activate Insert operation.

Note

  • Initial setup status

    An initial setup status is the initial setup status of a work center. It is used in capacity leveling by the following functions:

    • Setup time adjustment
    • Dispatching operations in a sequence with minimum setup time (setup time optimization).
    • Dispatching an operation at the best setup time

      An initial setup status is identified by a key that has a maximum length of three characters.

The following parameters are relevant for the capacity planning table (tabular form):

  • Finite scheduling
  • Planning direction

  • Overall capacity load

    You must set this indicator if overloads in individual periods are to be taken into account in the following periods. For example, a 200% load in one period prevents you from dispatching operations to the following period.

  • Dispatching at earliest point in time
  • Cancel dispatching on error
  • Date entry on dispatching
  • Rescheduling with production versions
  • Cancel on rescheduling with production version
  • Change planning direction

In the second section you define parameters to control operation data:

  • Take op. floats into accnt., Use float bef. prod., Use float aft.prod.

    If you only want an operation to be dispatched within the float that is assigned to it in order scheduling then you should activate these indicators.

    If an operation is dispatched in such a way that a part of the float before production is used up, then the other operations in the order only have the rest of the float available.

  • Treatment of queue time and Reduction level

    If scheduling is to be carried out using a queue time that diverges from lead time scheduling, this can be controlled using these parameters.

    Note

    When carrying out finite scheduling for an individual operation, other reduction measures such as splitting are not taken into account.

  • The field "Dispatch internal production" serves to determine the date for dispatching operations/activities from networks and maintenance orders.

    If an operation from a network or maintenance order is to be dispatched on the planning table (tabular form), without entering a period, then the dispatching date is determined by the data in this field.

In the third section you specify which functions are to be activated within dispatching.

The following functions are available:

  • Sorting of operations to be dispatched
  • Consider operation sequence in the order
  • Operation date check
  • Change production version in event of an error
  • Midpoint scheduling

You can find information on these functions in the F1 Help Action in the screen section "Dispatching functions".

In the fourth section you enter a period pattern for dispatching and specify whether and how the period pattern for dispatching operations is to be taken into account.
