shift sequence

Production Planning and Control (PP)

A shift sequence contains a sequence of shifts defined for several work centers for a specific period of time.

The central maintenance of shift sequences reduces the work involved in changing the order of shift definitions.

(APO-CA)

In a shift sequence, you define the daily shift order for as many consecutive days as you want.

You use shift sequences to define the working times and the capacity in the capacity variants for a resource.

To do this, you define in a capacity variant time intervals and:

• Assign each time interval a shift sequence

• Define which day of the shift sequence falls on the first day of the time interval

The shift sequence repeats itself in cycles, for example, every 5 days for a 5-day shift sequence.
