| Setup States (tcmcs0186m000)If you use Supply Chain Scheduler integrated with LN, you can use set up
states. You can use setup states also to plan with order blocks. Planning sequence The Generate Order Block Planning (tisfc0251m000) session sorts the newly generated order blocks according to the value of the Planning Sequence field. If you specify the value in the Planning Sequence field as zero for a setup state,
the order-block planning process puts that setup state at the end of the
sequence. Example Suppose you defined the following setup
states: Setup State | Planning Sequence | Custom
Blend | | Light Yellow | 20 | Dark
Brown | 10 | White | 30 |
The order blocks will be sorted as follows: - Order block for setup state Dark
Brown ( Planning Sequence = 10)
- Order block for setup state Light
Yellow ( Planning Sequence = 20)
- Order block for setup state White ( Planning Sequence = 30)
- Order block for setup state Custom
Blend ( Planning Sequence = Undefined)
Setup Class A type of item characteristic that indicates how a machine must
be set up to produce the item. The setup class determines the changeover time
for a machine or a tool between two operations. A setup class consists of a
series of setup states. Example Examples of setup classes are color and thickness. If your
setup class is color, the setup states can be red, green, white, black, and so
on. Setup State An item's characteristic that is linked to an operation.
Depending on the setup states of two successive operations, a machine's
changeover takes longer or less long. A series of setup states form a setup
class. Example If your setup class is color, examples of setup states are
red, green, white, black, and so on. Planning Sequence The sequence number on which the Generate Order Block Planning (tisfc0251m000) session bases the sequence of order blocks. If you specify the value in this field as zero, the
order-block planning process puts this setup state last in the sequence. | |
