 Scheduling Operations in Non-Working Times

Use

In the detailed scheduling planning board , you can schedule operations using drag and drop to the regular non-working times at a resource, that is, in times where the resource is not scheduled to work. By using this strategy, you do not have to change the resource data directly when you want to finish an operation after the end of the regular working time, for example, after the end of the last shift. During the non-working time, the same capacity and the same rate of resource utilization is available as was available in the regular working time that directly preceded this. For more information, see Scheduling in Non-Working Times .

Note Note

End of the note.

  • You cannot schedule any operations in resource downtimes (for example, due to machine shutdown).

  • In a resource chart the working times are displayed in white, the downtimes in dark gray and regular non-working times in light gray (if you have set in the planning board profile that regular non-working times should be displayed).

  • You can display and hide non-working times in the detailed scheduling planning board. You cannot display and hide downtimes in the detailed scheduling planning board.

Procedure

  1. Call up the strategy profile by choosing Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step Strategy End of the navigation path and set the indicator Non-working times in the detailed scheduling strategy.

  2. Choose Enter.

  3. Shift the desired operation to the non-working time using drag and drop.

Result

The system schedules the operation on this date when all other prerequisites are fulfilled; for example, when no constraints are violated by the schedule.

The system fixes the operations that you schedule in non-working times, that is, the operations can no longer be rescheduled. Even when you reset the indicator N on-working times , the operations remain fixed. In order to be able to reschedule the operations again, you must undo the fix .
