Distributing Planned Orders to Shifts

Use

If you work with larger planned orders or run schedule quantities whose production time stretches over several shifts, you can split the planned order into separate planned orders per shift. For example, you can use this function to split a planned order which stretches over three shifts into three separate planned orders.

Prerequisites

In the initial screen, in the "Period" tabstrip, you must set the period to shift.

In the initial screen of the planning table, in the "Scheduling" tabstrip, you must select the option Production dates .

The quantity distribution is based on the scheduling results. Therefore, you must make sure that the parameters required for Scheduling in the Planning Table have already been maintained.

Features

Shift distribution per order

If you choose Distribute to shift Per order , the system distributes the order quantity as it does for the distributed view . That is, starting from the dates of the planning operations, it splits the production quantities over the determined shifts.

In the section, Processing time, double-click the production quantity The system displays a dialog box, Detailed Data for Partial Order in which you can see the planning operation schedules. The processing time is the time in which the order quantity is processed at the planning segment (this is usually the production line). Setup time is not included in the processing time. The processing time is the basis for distributing shifts.

For each shift, the system creates a planned order. These individual planned orders can be changed.

The original planned order no longer exists.

Note Note

If there is no setup or tear down time before or after processing, then the production time is the same as the processing time. In this case the system will only display production start and end dates.

End of the note.

Distribute to shift - even

If you choose Distribute to shift Even , the system distributes the planned order according to the available shifts maintained in the work center.

Example

A production line produces 100 pieces per hour. In the work center, you defined that the production line runs 6 hours in shift 2 and only 4 hours in shift 3.

Therefore, the system distributes a planned order for 1000 pieces as follows:

Shift 2: 600 pieces

Shift 3: 400 pieces

Activities

To carry out this function, select the row and the period columns to define the planned orders you want to distribute and choose Quantity changes Distribute to shifts Evenly or Per order.
