Material-Dependent Rate
Use
If you work with a line hierarchy without line balancing and only produce one material at a time, then you can produce materials with various rates. In takt-based scheduling,
Sequencing
overrides the planned rate for the materials for which you have entered material-dependent rates.
Sequencing
schedules all materials, for which you have not entered a material-dependent rate, with the general planned rate for the production line.
Note
If you work with a line hierarchy with line balancing, you can enter a model mix in the line balance. Therefore, material-dependent rates are not planned for this process.
Integration
Sequencing
includes the material-dependent rates in takt-based scheduling.
Prerequisites
You have selected the indicator
No line balancing
for the line hierarchy. You can select this indicator on creating the line hierarchy or in the tab page

Features
The material-dependent rate allows you to override the planned rate for a certain material in takt-based scheduling. Since the planned rates are time-dependent, first of all enter the material-dependent rates in relation to the time-independent, maximum rate. The system then divides the material-dependent rate by the maximum rate and saves the result as the material-dependent factor. For takt-based scheduling, the system calculated the material-dependent rate by first of all determining the planned rate of the period and multiplying this by the material-dependent factor. In this way you ensure that the material-dependent rates are always adjusted in relation to the current planned rate of the production line.
You can enter any material-dependent rate for a material that is less than the maximum rate.
You can display the material-dependent rates which the system has calculated for the periods, for which you have already entered planned or operative rates.
If you change the maximum rate of a line hierarchy, the system automatically adjusts the material-dependent rates in comparison. The system multiples the altered maximum rate with the material-dependent factor.
If you enter a material-dependent rate, the system shows whether the material concerned is assigned to a production line, using a status display. The system determines this assignment via the production version.
