 Properties of Deactivated Setup Activities

The deactivated sequence-dependent setup activity still retains the properties of a sequence-dependent setup activity even after its deactivation. This means that:

  • A deactivated setup activity for an operation does not lead to a change in the setup status at the affected resource. That is to say, the first activity that follows the setup activity changes the setup status.

  • A deactivated setup activity belongs to the planning horizon if all activities except the deactivated setup activity lie within the planning horizon.

  • The function Do Not Take Rate of Capacity Utilization for Sequence-Dependent Setup Activities Into Account is also valid for deactivated sequence-dependent setup activities.

  • A deactivated setup activity loads the bucket capacity of a resource with the average duration specified in the mode.

  • If a deactivated setup activity is deallocated, the system adopts the average duration from the mode in order to schedule the deallocated setup activity.

  • A deactivated sequence-dependent setup activity is scheduled exactly in the same way as a non-deactivated one. You can therefore also schedule these activities infinitely in the past for example.
