Detailed Scheduling Strategy

Definition

A record of settings that control the detailed scheduling of operations and orders in Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling.

Use

Using the detailed scheduling strategy, you specify which rules and constraints the system uses to determine dates and resources for orders and operations, and which scheduling constraints (for example, product and resource availability) it considers when doing this.

Additional operations may be affected by the scheduling or rescheduling of an operation that you have selected specifically for scheduling. In order that the schedule remains consistent, the system must also schedule or adjust these operations accordingly. Scheduling or rescheduling of an operation can therefore trigger a chain reaction of detailed scheduling activities for the objects concerned.

You reschedule an urgent operation to another date, on which the resource is already occupied.

Structure

You can use strategy settings to control both the scheduling of the selected operations, and the subsequent rescheduling of the affected operations. You can divide the strategy settings into the following groups accordingly:
