Repetitive Line Rescheduling
You can reschedule repetitive schedules by changing quantities, dates, and routing revisions.
Repetitive Schedule Changes
You can change the daily production quantity, processing days, and total quantity of a repetitive schedule. You can change any quantity and the system reschedules all other dates and quantities on that schedule accordingly. For example:
- Changing the daily production rate on a repetitive schedule causes the total quantity to change accordingly based on the processing days.
- Changing the processing days causes the total quantity to change according to the daily quantity.
- Changing the total quantity on a schedule does not impact the daily quantity. Instead increasing the total quantity causes the processing days to increase. Conversely, reducing the total quantity decreases the processing days.
If you change repetitive schedule quantities, you must select a date around which to reschedule. The system then keeps this date constant while automatically changing the other dates accordingly. For instance, if you increase the processing days on a repetitive schedule and choose to keep the first unit start and completion dates constant, the system pushes out the last unit start date and last unit completion date and increases the total quantity.
Repetitive Schedule Dates
You can change the dates and times on a repetitive schedule. When you change dates and times, the system reschedules unreleased and released schedules the same way. If you change the first unit start date, first unit completion date, last unit start date, or last unit completion date, the system reschedules the repetitive schedule to adjust the remaining start and completion dates. Changing any of the four start and completion dates does not impact the processing days, total quantity, daily quantity, or lead time. You cannot change dates and times so that schedules for the same assembly on the same line overlap.
You cannot change the lead time on a schedule. For fixed rate lines, the line determines the lead time. For routing-based lines, the routing determines the lead time. When you change dates on a repetitive schedule, all the other attributes of that schedule, such as bill revision, remain the same.
Bill Revisions and Dates
You can change the bill revision and dates for any unreleased or pending repetitive schedule.
Routing Revisions and Dates
If you change the routing revision or revision date for any repetitive schedule with a status of Unreleased or Pending - Mass loaded, the system automatically reschedules based on the new routing. For routing-based lines this may impact the dates. For fixed rate lines, changing the routing does not impact the dates.
