Rescheduling order blocks
In the Order Block Planning (tisfc0151m000) session, you can manipulate order blocks.
After you changed the value of the Block Sequence Number field or the Start Time field, you must reschedule the order blocks to recalculate the start times and end times of the order blocks.
You can reschedule in two ways:
- Reschedule a range of order blocks from a user-selected order block to the last order block.
- Reschedule all order blocks for a particular value of the Machine field and the Start Date of Order Block Period field.
The rescheduling function uses the calendar that is applicable to the machine's work center.
If the required lead time exceeds the time available in the order-block period according to the calendar that is applicable to the work center, the session also reschedules order blocks defined for the next value of the Start Date of Order Block Period field.
To reschedule a range of order blocks
To reschedule a range of order blocks in the Order Block Planning (tisfc0151m000) session:
- Check the Start Time field of the first order block of the range and correct the start time if necessary.
- Select the order block that is the first order block in the range.
- On the menu, click .
The session uses the start time of the selected order block to calculate the end time of that order block. Then, the session calculates the start time and the end time of the next order block, and so on, until the last order block.
To reschedule all order blocks
To reschedule all order blocks for a particular value of the Machine field and the Start Date of Order Block Period field, make sure that none of the order blocks is selected and click on the menu.
The session sets the Start Time field of the first order block to the value of the Start Date of Order Block Period field. Then, the session calculates the end time of that order block. Then, the session calculates the start time and the end time of the next order block, and so on, until the last order block.
