 Display Table of Periods from liveCache

Use

You can use this function to check the table of periods that the liveCache has calculated for the resource you specified. The table of periods contains the periods into which the component requirements determined by the matrix are to be grouped.

Integration

This function provides the same results as the function Calculation of Table of Periods for a Resource .

Prerequisites

  • You have maintained a period profile .

  • You have maintained the factory calendar for a location.

  • You have created a line resource and a shift sequence for this resource.

Features

The table of periods for a resource is calculated during the planning run, based on the period profile, and is then saved in the liveCache. You can use this function to check the results of this calculation.

Activities

  1. Choose Start of the navigation path Rapid Planning Matrix Next navigation step Tools Next navigation step Table of Periods Next navigation step Display Table of Periods from liveCache. End of the navigation path

    The initial screen appears.

  2. Enter the line resource, planning version, and period profile and state whether the result is to be given in local time.

    Caution Caution

    If you enter a lead time, the report then moves the time stream back by the number of seconds entered. For example, if you set a lead time of 10 minutes and the period start is at 14.00 hours, the system then displays the period start as 13.50. The shift calendar is also taken into consideration, that is, the system checks whether the line is in operation at the time calculated. For example, if the lead time is 10 minutes and the shift begins at 06.00 hours, the system calculates 05.50 as the start time. There is no night shift, and so the system uses 21.50 hours (on the previous evening) as the start time, when the shift ends at 22.00 hours.

    The lead time is the time between the start of an order and the installation of a component. It is calculated from the number of stations and the takt time. For example, a component is installed at station 4. The takt time is 10 minutes; this results in a lead time of 3 x 10 minutes = 30 minutes.

    End of the caution.

  3. Choose .

    The system displays the periods that the liveCache has determined using the resource data and the table of periods.
