This chapter contains these topics:
The driving force for repetitive manufacturing is demand. Scheduling production line requires tools to schedule, sequence, and balance production based on the capacity for each production line.

From Shop Floor Control (G31), choose Repetitive Daily Processing
From Daily Processing - Repetitive (G3115), choose Line Scheduling Workbench
Use the Line Scheduling Workbench to schedule rates and work orders for the family of items produced on a production line. This workbench shows information about both firmed and planned rates and work orders, in daily buckets. After you manually manipulate the scheduled quantities, you can firm the schedule using a function key. Use start and through dates to show the work days for the production line within the date range. When you create a rate or work order, or the system creates a rate through planning, the system spreads the quantities evenly over the work days within the specified date range. From the workbench you can access:
Alternate Line Selection
Split Lines
Production Status
Item Availability
Rate Master Schedule
Use Split lines to move scheduled quantities from one line to another by:
Splitting production among two lines, which may create a rate on the new line
Consolidating production from two lines to one line
Transferring production from one line to another
Use Alternate Line Selection to view all lines for which line/item relationships exist for the item.
To schedule items on a production line
Figure 26-1 Line Scheduling Workbench screen
Complete the following fields:
Line
Branch/Plant
Complete the following optional fields:
Start Date
Through Date
Change any scheduled quantity as needed.
If you change the total quantity and update the schedule, the system shows a soft error and then spreads the new quantity evenly across the date range. You must update the schedule using a function key before the system changes the record.
Enter a 2 next to the appropriate item.

From Shop Floor Control (G31), choose Repetitive Daily Processing
From Daily Processing - Repetitive (G3115), choose Line Sequencing Workbench
Use the Line Sequencing Workbench to sequence the rates after you schedule production. This workbench only shows information about actual rates, in daily buckets. Set the processing options if you want the system to sequence quantities across shifts, or across both shifts and days. You must update the schedule using a function key before the system changes the record. You can sequence the rates, using function keys, by:
Category code
Sequence number
To sequence the rates by the items' category codes, you use a function key. (The category code values are determined by the setup in the processing options for the Enter/Change Rate Schedule.) Beginning with the first shift and day, you forward schedule the quantities, which consumes the available capacity. You use the processing options to control whether these quantities are pulled forward or pushed back in time across shifts only, or both shifts and days. This process places the scheduled quantities which exceed the capacity available, within the date range selected, in the last shift of the last day.
To sequence the rates by sequence number, you use a different function key. Again, beginning with the first shift and day, you forward schedule the quantities, which consumes the available capacity. When created, a new rate has an initial sequence number of all nines. This causes it to be sequenced last for the shift, therefore placing it after any previously sequenced rates. This default sequence may then be overridden manually, if desired. You do this by changing the sequence number value. After manipulating the sequence, you can update the schedule as is, or use the function key to forward schedule again.
To schedule rates by classification scheme

Complete the following optional fields and press Enter:
From Date
Through Date
To change the sequence of the rate, complete the following fields as needed:
From Shop Floor Control (G31), choose Repetitive Daily Processing
From Daily Processing - Repetitive (G3115), choose Line Schedule Review
Use Line Schedule Review to view the schedule of the production lines for the family of items produced. If items are produced on multiple production lines, use this workbench to view production across lines while staying within each line's capacity. You can toggle the information shown between an item and all items:
Item mode - the load column represents the capacity consumed by rates for that item.
All items mode - the load column represents the capacity consumed by the mix of items' rates in effect.
