Rescheduling Repetitive Schedules
You can reschedule repetitive schedules with and without routings. When you change a repetitive schedule quantity, the system automatically prompts you to choose the date around which you want to reschedule. The number of processing days increases/decreases to reflect the quantity change.
When you update the number of workdays, you must choose the date around which you want to reschedule. The current schedule is rescheduled around the date you specify.
You can enter first unit/last unit start (FUCD/LUSD) and first unit/last unit completion (FUCD/LUCD) dates and times earlier than the current date and time to maintain relative date priorities for department schedules and material requirements.
Prerequisites
To reschedule a repetitive schedule with a routing or a fixed lead time repetitive schedule without a routing:
2. Choose the New button to navigate to the Repetitive Schedules window.
3. Select the production Line and Assembly.
4. Select a FUSD or FUCD or a LUSD or LUCD.
Only one date (FUSD, FUCD, LUSD, or LUCD) is required for repetitive assemblies with routings and repetitive assemblies without routings that are associated with production lines that have Fixed lead time. The repetitive schedule is automatically forward or backward scheduled based upon the dates entered.
To reschedule a repetitive schedule without a routing that has a routing-based lead time:
1. Navigate to the Repetitive Schedules window.
2. Select the production Line.
3. Select the repetitive Assembly.
4. Select the FUSD and FUCD or select the LUSD and LUCD.
A set of start or completion dates is required for repetitive schedules without routings that are associated with production lines that have Routing-based lead times. The system uses the processing days to schedule the dates not entered.
1. After changing the Daily quantity, which updates the Total Quantity based on the number of processing Days; changing the number of processing Days, which updates the Total Quantity based on the Daily Quantity; or changing the Total Quantity, which updates the number of processing Days but does not update the Daily Quantity; and saving your work, the Reschedule Repetitive Schedule window appears.
Select a reschedule point option:
First Unit Start Date: All other dates and times are cleared and the schedule is forward scheduled using the FUSD and time.
First Unit Completion Date: All other dates and times are cleared and the schedule is forward scheduled using FUCD and time.
Last Unit Start Date: All other dates and times are cleared and the schedule is backward scheduled using the LUSD and time.
Last Unit Completion Date: All other dates and times are cleared and the schedule is backward scheduled using the LUCD and time.
2. Choose the Reschedule button.
