Schedule Menu

The Schedule menu lists the following options:

• Solver: Enables you to define the Solver settings.
• Run Solver: Allows you to run the solvers directly from the menu, if you select the show in menu check box when defining the Solver setting. You must select the valid batches before running the solver.
• Schedule Process Batches: Displays the Schedule Process Batches window, if you select the batches on the planning board.
• Repeat Schedule Process Batches: Allows you to use the Schedule Process Batches option again without changing the settings.
• Distribute Process Batches: Displays the Distribute Process Batches window.
• Earliest Start: Allows you to schedule the selected process batches at the earliest start time.
• Latest End: Allows you to schedule the selected process batches at the latest end time.
• Ultimate Inventory Quantity: Allows you to increases or decreases the quantities of unlocked, decoupled process batches (that is, replenishment and depletion batches). This enables you to maintain the inventory simulation just above standard inventory level.
• Earliest Inventory Time and Latest Inventory Time: Allows you to move the replenishment and depletion batches based on the parameter you select for the inventory strategy field on the Inventory point tab of the Product Entry window.
• Split: Displays the Split Batch window for the batch, selected on the planning board.
• Join: Allows you to combine two or more selected batches (of the same process step) into a new batch.
• Distribute Tank Batches: Displays the Distribute Tank Batches window, if you make a relevant selection on the planning board.
• Distribute Tank Outflow: Allows you to redistribute the total outflow of the selected tank batches for the same process step. By distributing the outflow, you can ensure that the tanks are occupied for the shortest possible time.
• Distribute Tank Outflow Parallel: Allows you to empty the tanks in parallel, only if the consuming process batches are scheduled in parallel.
• Allocate: Displays the Allocate Resources window.
• Check Schedule: Displays the Check Schedule window.
