Sequence Optimizer and process batches
Single stage production batches can now be optimized using the new sequence
optimizer.
The optimizer applies objective weights that can be set by the user to influence the results.
Known limitations in the current version:
- The sequence optimizer does not support combination resource groups
- Transition segments will not overlap resource unavailability or work area boundaries
- Idle time on transition matrices is not taken into account
- The sequence optimizer does not support enabling or utility claim constraints
- The sequence optimizer does not support weight or volume resource constraints
Note: Optimize Process Batch Sequence”. Restart Production Scheduling for this change to be
effective.
You are not required a new role or privilege access to use this feature. Once enabled by an administrator, this feature is available to users with the scheduler and modeler roles.
