Automatic Scheduling of maintenance work orders

Normally, when scheduling manufacturing orders and maintenance work orders, Automatic Simulation is used first. Certain orders in the Scheduling Board are then manually optimized. The assigned priorities of the orders determine when and where M3 SWB places orders in the schedule.

During Automatic Simulation, orders are inserted in the schedule when production time is available. Manufacturing orders and maintenance work orders are inserted by order of network priority and due date, with the highest priority first.
