Production line planning

Production line planning involves creating a detailed strategy for the manufacturing process, including determining resources, scheduling tasks, and establishing quality control measures. The goal is to ensure efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality production.

The basic setup works on the FIFO principle.

Name of the line, delay status
Different scenarios
List of currently generated shifts (date, time number of shifts, shutdown, edit)
Order of items on the production line (changeovers)

5. In this table we can see the list of orders assigned to this particular line:

Entering filters
a. ID
b. Material
c. Production version
d. Quantity
e. Outbound delivery number
f. Goods issue time
g. Required start time
h. Required finish time
i. Created
j. Handling unit template
k. Scheduled finish time
l. Estimated times
The dot shows the items from the bill of materials that make up the product, how many pieces do I need for production? The color indicates the current status of the pieces I have in stock:
Red = there are not enough pieces in stock and neither in planning
Blue = zaplánovaná výroba ale není na skladě - stihne se (materiál BOMu u kterého se to ukazuje)
Green = there are enough pieces in stock immediately
Material change → line reconfiguration (set in the parameterization)
Breaks
Red Scheduled finish time → Line delays

If you select the item checkbox, you can delete it or send it to Redbox: :DeleteRedbox:

List of individual times used in line planning and where this data is taken from:

GOOD ISSUE TIME

A) If there is a direct link between WO and CO item, the Planned Completion Time listed in the CO item (or the entire CO if no specific time was entered for the CO item) is taken
B) If there is no direct link between WO and CO item (WO was created in the distribution table without a link to CO), this field is blank

REQUIRED START TIME

A) If entered during assignment to the production line, it is marked with a snowflake and serves for a fixed freezing of the start of the WO production time
B) If the Required Completion Time was entered, the Required Start Time is automatically calculated from the production time
C) If the Required Start Time and Completion Time were not manually entered, they are calculated based on the schedule and related WOs so that the production times of the linked items are sequentia

REQUIRED FINSIH TIME

A) If entered during assignment to the production line, it is marked with a snowflake and serves for a fixed freezing of the completion of the WO production time
B) If the Required Start Time was entered, the Required Completion Time is automatically calculated from the production time
C) If neither Required Start Time nor Required Completion Time were manually entered, they are calculated based on the production order and related WOs to ensure that the production times of connected items are properly aligned - see the previous screenshot

SCHEDULED FINISH TIME

A) This is how the production plan was created and the line delay is calculated against it
B) If I schedule a WO on a completely empty line, where there was no queue, the first item in the production queue will have identical Planned Completion Time and Expected Completion Time, based on the start of the nearest shift. Once there is a time shift between the Planned Completion Time and the Expected Completion Time (expected delay), it will be highlighted in red to emphasize the delay compared to the plan. Other items in the production plan are calculated based on the first item in the list.
C) Other items in the production plan are calculated based on the first item in the list

ESTIMATED START TIME

A) It is always calculated based on the first item in the production queue.
B) This statement describes that the most accurate information is reflected by the system when another item is assigned to the production line. In this case, a declaration is made, sent to Redbox, or the estimated completion time is reset. The system then sets the start time to the nearest shift start time (if done between shifts) or the current system time (if done during production hours).

ESTIMATED FINISH TIME

A) It is always calculated based on the first item in the production queue.
B) It is calculated based on the Estimated Start Time, which is determined by the production times of the material and the quantity of the WO being produced, and in the future, it may also take into account the operator's skill level.

Action buttons affecting times in the production plan:

The gray button "Reset estimated times" sets the Estimated Start Time of the first item in the plan to the current time.

Calculated based on the Estimated Start Time according to the production times of the material and the quantity produced for the Work Order (and in the future, based on operator skill level).

Scenarios
We have the ability to generate different options or possibilities and present an overview of each. Based on this, you can evaluate and determine which scenario is the most beneficial for you.

The green scenario is active.

List of currently generated shifts

Here you can see the scheduled shifts for the following days:

You can simply turn the shift off with :Shutdown:

You can hide the shifts tab with :SHIFT:

Or you can change the following information by clicking on :Change:

In the main bar, we have the following options:

1) From a sequential view to a calendar view:

2) Show queue statistics with

The values to be monitored in the statics are entered in the settings of each line (parametrization).

3) Artificial planner

After entering it, it automatically sets the order of the items according to the rules according to the specified rules.

4) Reset estimated times

Updating the planned duration for a task or operation in a manufacturing process. This is done to ensure that the production schedule remains accurate and up-to-date and that production targets are met efficiently.

5) Delete the scenario

6) Batch building

Production batch creation for this line

7) Reset the time difference

Forced reset time. Line delay remains

8) Show production line log

List of changes.

9) Recalculate the logistic list

Generating all records from a specific production line into logistics lists.
