Introduction

Production Scheduling is a 42Q portlet, which provides the users with the ability to schedule when Shop Orders are expected to run in the Manufacturing  Lines. It presents a calendar view where the users can see their MFG Lines capacities and set them up by Day, Week, or Month; the different shifts are layout in different colors.

 

To access Production Scheduling, navigate to Shop Floor Control > Production Control> Production Scheduling.

 

Note: Production Scheduling has integration with CMMS, allowing users to see when maintenance or calibration is scheduled or if machinery is down.  
 

See the next topics for further details on how to use Production Scheduling.

Integration of Schedule Down and Plant Calendar modules

42Q Production Scheduling allows the integration of the schedule downtime and non-production time from Schedule Down and Plant Calendar OEE modules. As Production Scheduling uses the MFG lines, it is necessary to map the associated MFG Line with a CMMS line. To do so, users need to cross information at CMMS Asset Mapping, writing down:

• Location of the MFG Line
• Asset ID of the CMMS Line

 

Figure 23: Asset Mapping

Schedule Downtime

Users are able to display the schedule downtime in the Production Scheduling calendar. This action may help planners to know with accuracy the downtime for a specific MFG Line, and avoid scheduling a shop order at that time.

 

To allow that a downtime schedule data can be taken from OEE to be displayed at Production Scheduling, users may follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Shop Floor Control > Configuration > OEE Configuration > Schedule Down icon from the menu. A new tab will appear at the top of the menu.
