Job Shop Planning Board - schedule capacity view

The planning board for scheduling is used to facilitate the day-to-day activities of a planner.

Several features have been added to this workbench for scheduling, including:

• An in-context view 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.

• Double-clicking the production order to open JSC order screens.
• Double-clicking the operation to open operation screens.
• Production department as a filter, next to work center.
• Choices in the user settings related to 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.

Splitting of a production order with machine operations

The functionality for splitting a production order has been extended.

You can now split a production order when one or more operations are performed on a machine capacity group with unique machines. When splitting the order, the applicable order operations and the applicable machine operations are split.

The splitting logic itself has not changed.
