Production Scheduler (tirpt4202m200)

Use this session to to schedule work cells.

Note
  • The scheduling logic is based on a finite forward calculation, with the 'earliest need date' principle to reduce the lateness in the planning. You can use available slack and buffer inventory to optimize production if necessary.
  • You can also view and manage the production schedule in the Production Scheduler Gantt (tirpt4202m251) graphical session.
  • If manual changes must be made to the production schedule, you can do this after the schedule is actualized.
  • If no session defaults are saved, schedule options are defaulted from the Repetitive Manufacturing Parameters (tirpt0100m000) session.
