Rescheduling Assembly Orders

Note that the direction in which you move an order is time-oriented.

  • If you move an order backward, you move the order to an earlier time. This is also backward in line sequence position.
  • If you move an order forward, you move the order to a later time. This is also forward in line sequence position.

Two types of changes exist: moving and swapping. You must select the type of change you want to make.

Example

The original sequence is 1-2-3-4-5. If you:

  • Swap orders 1 and 4, these orders are interchanged and nothing else changes. So, the sequence 1-2-3-4-5 becomes 4- 2-3- 1-5.
  • Move an order, the order is taken from one position and inserted into another position. All orders between the initial and the new position are moved one place towards the initial position. As a result the orders between these positions move just the other direction of the moved order itself. So, if you move order 4 three places backward, the new sequence is 4-1-2-3-5. Orders 1, 2 and 3 have moved one place forward. But if you move order 1 three places forward, the new sequence is 2-3-4- 1-5 and orders 2, 3 and 4 have moved one place backward.
