 Calling Sequencing

Procedure

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Production Planning Next navigation step Automated Production Planning and Optimization Next navigation step Model MixPlanning Next navigation step Sequencing End of the navigation path .

    The Sequencing screen appears.

  2. Enter a Planning Version .

  3. In the Planning Horizon area, enter the time period you want to display.

  4. Enter the line network or a part of the line network. This may be a group of alternative lines, a line or also a buffer.

    The system uses this entry to determine the planning segment. A differentiation is made between the following cases:

    If the line you enter is the planning segment and this is the only planning segment, you gain direct access to the sequence schedule.

    If there is only one line which is defined as the planning segment, but you enter another line, you receive a dialog box displaying the line which is defined as the planning segment.

    If you enter a line network which contains several lines which belong to the planning segment, you receive a dialog box where you have to select a line.

    Note Note

    The lines displayed in the dialog box may be parts of various line networks if several production versions exist for the product, such as, production version 1 with line network A and production version 2 with line network B or various production versions due to partial line networks, for example.

    End of the note.

  5. Choose .

    The system reads the available operating time of the line resource and the planned orders that lie in the time period, and then accesses sequencing in display mode .

    Sequencing only displays the time period you specified in the navigation tree. In the Dispatched Orders details area, no orders are displayed yet.

  6. You can select the time period you want to look at in the Dispatched Orders area, by:

    • Double-clicking on a day or a shift

    • Dragging a day or a shift to the data area with drag & drop

    • Selecting a period and then choosing Display Dispatched Orders with the right mouse button.

      If you want to display a larger period of time, you can also select several days by holding down the Shift key or the Ctrl key.

    Note Note

    The system displays the lists in the data area with the SAP List View (ALV), which is used in many SAP applications and which offers many generic display functions. For more information on the SAP List Viewer see the documentation Introduction to the SAP System under Lists .

    End of the note.

  7. You can only move to change mode of sequencing if all the orders in the planning horizon of the navigation tree, have order quantity 1, and are dispatched in takts.

    • If this prerequisite is not fulfilled, carry out takt-based scheduling first with an order split by choosing . After takt-based scheduling, you will automatically be in the change mode.

    • If you do not want to schedule the entire planning horizon in takts, which you have displayed in the navigation tree, you can reduce the horizon beforehand. To do so, select the days in the navigation tree in blocks that you want to exclude, and choose .

    • If the prerequisites are fulfilled, choose to move to change mode.

Result

You have called up sequencing and switched to the change mode. You can now process the sequence of the scheduled orders manually, start a process or recalculate the restriction violations.
