JSC - Job Shop Planning Board

The Job Shop Planning Board (tisfc8372m000) has been added to facilitate the day-to-day activities of a planner.

These features are supported:

  • You can filter based on work center, shop floor planner, routing group, and production department.
  • For a selected production order or operation, you can display material availability based on pegging information. Short or late supply is indicated by self-explanatory color coding.
  • Functions are available to perform actions directly from the planning board, such as creating a new production order and completing an operation.
  • You can display linked orders and operations in the production and scheduling Gantt charts.
  • An in-context view is available of the shop floor capacity utilization for shop floor planners.

    In-context refers to the context of the production order operations that are marked in the Gantt schedule. If planned operations must be adjusted, the capacity utilization provides feedback on where there are gaps to move to. The capacity is colored, based on the usage thresholds set by the user. Material availability and capacity utilization are retrieved based on user settings.

  • You can double-click a production order to open JSC order screens.
  • You can double-click an operation to open operation screens.
  • In the user settings, these options are available for connection arrows and material filters:
    • Show connection arrows when selecting an operation (SCS scheduler behavior), or show always.
    • Show materials that are in stock, running out, or are not yet in stock.
  • Job Shop Schedule Runs is available on the context menu of the empty Gantt. This starts the session in a modal.
  • For operations, the Fix dates for Planning and Scheduling menu is available. It has options for Fixed Planning Dates on operation and Locked for Scheduling on machine operation. If there are no machine operations, or Job Shop by Site is inactive, the title of the menu is Fix dates for Planning.
  • If Fixed Planning Dates or Locked for Scheduling are selected, the lock symbol is shown for the operation activity.
  • To specify the machine breakdown time for the machine that is linked to the selected operation, you can start the Machine Availability (tirou8350m000) session.
  • The quantity of a production order is shown when hovering over the production order.
