Detailed Scheduling
Detailed scheduling is based on detailed resource availability and usages and is the most precise scheduling method in Oracle Manufacturing. It takes into account minute to minute resource availability information as well as exact resource requirements from routings to schedule precise start and end dates and times for jobs and operations. Detailed scheduling is an infinite scheduling algorithm--so it does not take into account load from other discrete jobs. However, you can simulate the scheduling impact of the load by adding queue, move, and wait resources.
Job and Operation Scheduling
Oracle Work in Process schedules discrete jobs using detailed scheduling. Each resource required on a job is scheduled consecutively. Work in Process can either forward schedule, backward schedule, or both from an operation.
Work in Process schedules repetitive production using repetitive line scheduling, schedules each resource in sequence based upon the shift workday calendar, the amount of the resource required, and the number of assigned resources that can be simultaneously scheduled.
