| | Simulate and Create Line Sequences (tiasl4200m000) Sequence Options Sequence Options Select an improvement method. LN only optimizes the
sequence for the segment selected in the Pivot Segment field. You can also select the Neighbor Checking check box to optimize the sequence
for a segment. Local Improvement If this check box is selected, LN only optimizes the sequence for the
segment selected in the Pivot Segment field. You can also select the Neighbor Checking check box to optimize the sequence
for a segment. Global Improvement If this check box is selected, LN optimizes the
sequence for all the segments that you select in this session.
Confirm Sequence If this check box is selected, the sequence that LN generates is
confirmed automatically. The orders in the sequence are offset and the planning
data for ASC orders, such as segment start time and segment end time, are
calculated. If this check box is cleared, you
can confirm the sequence when you click the Confirm button, after you select the run number of a previously generated
sequence. Neighbor Checking If this check box is selected, LN takes account of the segments immediately before and after the
specified segments during the optimization process. This gives rise to a
sequence that is translatable to the neighbor segments, which means that the
sequence changes are feasible. You can only select this check box if the Local Improvement check box is selected. If the Global Improvement check box is selected, LN automatically
selects the current check box. Offsetting Options Offsetting Options Select an option for calculating the offset. Backlog If this check box is selected, LN takes a backlog into
account when it calculates the offset. That means that the first order is
planned at the beginning of the period you specify in this session. Actual Times If this check box is selected, and LN calculates the
offset, it takes into account when the last order was reported completed on the
last line station of a segment. Next time you run this session to replan a line
sequence, LN takes the
difference between planned end time and actual end time into
account.
Sequence Selection Pivot Segment The segment for which you have defined parameters in the Remix/Sequence Parameters (tiasl4110m000) session and from which LN starts generating
sequences. If you sequence multiple segments, LN sequences the pivot
segment first. This segment is then copied to the other segments within the
range, and the segments are then sequenced. If you selected the Global Improvement check box, this is the segment for which you defined
parameters. You can switch to different parameters by entering a different
pivot segment in this field. Note You must carefully select a segment that
is representative of your assembly line. You can simulate line sequences for
your assembly line with various different segments as the pivot segment, to see
which gives the most efficient sequence. Line Segment A set of consecutive assembly-line work centers on an assembly
line between two buffers. The first buffer is the beginning of the segment, the
next buffer is the first part of the next segment. Sequence Date The actual offline date of new orders which are taken into
account and added to the sequence in the sequencing process. LN always takes previously sequenced orders
into account, irrespective of the date range you specify in this
field. Sequence Quality Run Number The identification number of the sequencing run. To see
results of other run numbers, click the Up or Down button. Penalty Cost Theoretical costs for not meeting rules on an assembly line. Convertible Indicates whether the sequence is translatable between the
different segments of the assembly line. Sequence Progress Initialize Sequence The value of this field indicates whether a sequence was
initialized, by adding a new assembly order, for the selection you made in this
session. Initial Penalty Cost Penalty cost of the sequence before optimization has taken
place. Selected Sequence The run number of the selected run. | |
