- Selected Date
-
Indicate whether the Synchronized Scheduling Engine calculates lateness by subtracting Leveled or Planned dates from the Scheduled dates.
Allowed values
- Planned Dates
- Leveled Dates
- Max Transfer Lot
- The maximum number of transfer lots allowed for a production order step. All transfer lots are considered actual lots by the Synchronized Scheduling Engine, therefore this parameter value must be restricted to a smaller digit. This limits the number of lots and enhances the scheduling speed. The SCH_MaxTransferLot value must be an integer.
- Forecasting Scope
- The number of production order steps considered for scheduling simultaneously by the Scheduling Engine.
- Second Forecasting Scope
-
The number of production order steps considered for scheduling simultaneously by the Scheduling Engine. This parameter is activated only when these parameters are set to a value greater than 0:
- Detailed schedule duration.
- Compare Production order operations within this time period.
When this parameter is activated, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine considers the first forecasting scope as the forecasting scope from the scheduled start date until the scheduled start date + the value of Compare Production order operations within this time period + the value of detailed schedule duration. At the end of this time period, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine considers the second forecasting scope as the forecasting scope.
- Apply Dynamic Buffer
-
If this check box is selected, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine activates the dynamic buffer.
- Compress / Expansion
-
If this check box is selected, the compression/expansion algorithm is applied to planned dates for the next complete schedule.
- Load Forecast Receipts
-
If this check box is selected, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine loads all forecasted receipts that are not recommended to purchase.
If this check box is cleared, only forecasted purchase receipts with dates prior to the scheduled start date + item's lead time + waiting for items receipts tolerance are loaded by the Synchronized Scheduling Engine.
- Use Inactivity Periods
-
If this check box is selected, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine considers inactive periods to calculate the Global Delivery schedule.
- Use of Following Resources
-
If this check box is selected, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine considers the following resource in a sequence of production order operations and the Synchronized Scheduling Engine considers this constraint during the calculations.
- Generate Schedule Constraints
-
If this check box is selected, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine generates a list of schedule constraints for production order operations. The applicable constraints are displayed in the Production order operations 's record.
- Weights
-
- Consistent Dispatching
- The value indicating the extent to which the Synchronized Scheduling Engine can use consistent dispatching. The number indicates how the Synchronized Scheduling Engine can distribute production order operations equally, among the selected resources.
- Minimize Cycle Time
- This value indicating the importance of reducing cycle time when a Production order operations is selected in the forecasting scope.
- Respect of Gradation (General)
- The value indicating the importance of the gradation order in a setup class when a Production order operations is selected from the forecasting scope.
- Respect of Gradation (Machine)
- The value indicating the importance of gradation order in a setup class for a machine when selected it for a specific Production order operations.
- Just-in-Time Production
- The value indicating the importance of respecting on-time production and reducing lateness when selecting a Production order in the forecasting scope. As a result, the Synchronized Scheduling Engine schedules late Production order operations first.
- Machine Production Rate
- The value indicating the importance of the production rate when a machine is selected for a specific Production order operations. The Synchronized Scheduling Engine uses the machine with the best possible production rate for an operation.
- Minimize Setups (General)
-
The value indicating the importance of reducing setup time when selecting a Production order operations from the forecasting scope. Production order operations are rated in proportion to the setup times. The value of this parameter must be increased to minimize setup times.
Note: Similar weights can be defined for setup classes and resources.
- Minimize Setups (Machine)
- The value indicating the importance of reducing setup times when selecting a machine for a specific Production order operations.
- Reduction of Time Losses
- The value importance the importance of reducing time loss when selecting Production order operations for scheduling.
