Use

If you access the planning table using the line-on view, the system sorts the production quantities according to the start date in the corresponding period, such as shift.

If you access the planning table using the line-off view, the system sorts the production quantities according to the finish date in the corresponding period, such as shift.

The advantage of this procedure is that you can always see exactly when an order arrives at the production line or when it leaves the production line.

Features

You define the view in the initial screen of the planning table. However, you can also change the view in the planning table by choosing  Sequencing Line-on view or Line-off view .

This function is clarified by the following example :

( )

An assembly is produced on production line 1. In the line hierarchy of the production line, you maintained the following data:

Maximum production rate = 100 pieces per hour

Number of takts in the line = 100

The system calculates a lead time of one hour per piece.

The production line runs in 2 shifts: Shift 1 from 6.00 am to 2.00 p.m. and shift 2 from 2 p.m. until 10.00 p.m.

The order is for 200 pieces and starts at 12.00 p.m.

From 12.00 p.m. until 2.00 p.m., one part is continually placed on the line.

From 1.00 p.m. until 3.00 p.m. assemblies are produced and available at the end of the production line.

Line-on view

If you selected the period, shift with the line-on view, the system displays the order for 200 pieces in shift one as the parts arrive at the production line between 12.00 p.m. and 2.00 p.m.

Line-off view

If you selected the line-off view, you see that the assemblies leave the production line between 1.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. Therefore, the 200 pieces are displayed in shift 2.

If you also selected  View Quantity display Orders / Distributed in the planning table, the system displays 100 pieces in shift 1 and 100 pieces in shift 2.
