Repetitive Line Scheduling
Repetitive line scheduling is based on production line attributes including start and stop times, line speed, line capacity, and lead time. Repetitive line scheduling uses your workday calendar and the line start and stop times rather than detailed resource shift availability.
Define Production Lines
Work in Process lets you define production lines and specify a start and stop time for each line. You must also specify the minimum and maximum hourly rate on each line, and specify whether a line's lead time is fixed or routing based.
Repetitive Assembly
For lines with a lead time basis of Fixed, you must enter a fixed lead time. Oracle Manufacturing uses this fixed lead time for all repetitive assemblies assigned to the line. For lines with a lead time basis of Routing-based, you can automatically compute manufacturing lead time based upon a repetitive assembly's routing.
Work in Process lets you specify the production line where you build each assembly and the line speed determines the production run rate to schedule that assembly on that line. If you have a fixed speed line, all assemblies should use the same line speed. For variable speed lines, you need to specify different speeds for each assembly. The line speed for any particular assembly cannot exceed the line's maximum rate.
