Auto Load ‘Best Fit’

• Single or multi linked work orders (suggested or planned and released) are loaded based on due date and available capacity of machines or machine groups. Schedule date, run-time and auto load capacity are set based on capacity load percent at any calendar level.

Manual Load

• Schedulers load one work order at a time as they view capacity and (if necessary) split a work order over multiple machines, or load multiple work orders onto one machine adjusting quantities and start dates.

Aligning Bottleneck Routings

• Schedulers can select a ‘bottleneck’ routing (or work order operation) and place the job bar for it on a selected machine with available capacity. The subsequent operations of the same work order from the ‘end date’ of the bottleneck – job bar are forward scheduled. Preceding operations or processes of the same work order are backward scheduled (rescheduled) from the ‘start date’ of its bottleneck operation.

Set-up by Department and Cost Center

• Equipment Setup – machines that belong to machine group with manufacturing parameters and capacity in hours/days
• Bill of Material/Process Sheet Set-up – for each work order there should be an associated BOM and Process sheet with quantity and time that determine capacity and schedule requirements

Schedule Board Set-up and Definitions

Timeline can be set in days, hours, half hours and minutes

Calendars can be set at the plant, department, machine group and/or machine level

Machine List Filter allows for selection by department, machine group list, work order and linked work orders.
