Example 5

This diagram shows an example of operations overlap. The queue and setup are done sequentially. Assume that operations have overlap expressed as a percent (100% = total overlap, 0% = no overlap) or send ahead quantity. If overlap is expressed as a percentage, assume that all units are available for processing at the start of the run or soon after:

Example 5: 80 percent overlap or a send ahead quantity of 2 units

Forward Scheduling Calculations

Production ID Start Date and Time = Day 1, 8:00 a.m.

This table lists the steps that you take to calculate the start and due date and times for the first operation (Operation 10):

Step To Calculate Use Notes

1

Operation 10 start date and time

Production ID's start date and time

This calculation assumes that queue doesn't occur in the first operation.

2

Operation 10 run start date and time

Operation start date and time + setup time

None.

3a, or

Operation 10 run time (time/unit)

Operation start quantity x run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of time per unit.

3b

Operation 10 run time (units and time)

Operation start quantity / run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of units per time unit.

4

Operation 10 due date and time

Run start date and time + run time

None.

This table lists the steps that you take to calculate start and due dates and times for the second operation (Operation 20):

Step To Calculate Use Notes

1a, or

Operation 20 start date and time; overlap expressed as a percentage

Prior operation's (Operation 10) start of run + [prior operation's total run time x (1 - overlap percent / 100)] + prior operation's intransit time + current operation's queue time

None.

1b

Operation 20 start date and time; overlap expressed as a send ahead quantity

Prior operation's (Operation 10) start of run + (prior operation's run rate x send ahead quantity, converted to hours) + prior operation's fixed run time + prior operation's intransit time + current operation's queue time

None.

2

Operation 20 run start date and time

Current operation start date and time + setup time

None.

3a, or

Operation 20 run time (time/unit)

Operation start quantity x run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of time per unit.

3b

Operation 20 run time (units/time)

Operation start quantity / run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of units per time unit.

4

Operation 20 due date and time

Current operation run start date and time + run time

If you have a schedule with more than two operations, repeat steps 1 through 4 in this table until all subsequent operation due dates and times are calculated.

Backward Scheduling Calculations

Production ID Due Date and Time = Day 2, 2:00 a.m.

This table lists the steps that you take to calculate the start and due date and times for the last operation (Operation 20):

Step To Calculate Use Notes

1

Operation 20's due date and time

Production ID's due date and time - current operation's intransit time

None.

2a, or

Operation 20 run time (time/unit)

Operation start quantity x run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of time per unit.

2b

Operation 20 run time (units/time)

Operation start quantity/ run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of units per time unit.

3

Operation 20 run start date and time

Current operation's due date and time - run time

None.

4

Operation 20 start date and time

Current operation's run start date and time - setup time

None.

This table lists the steps that you take to calculate start and due dates and times for the prior operation (Operation 10), with an operation overlap expressed as a percentage:

Step To Calculate Use Notes

1

Operation 10 due date and time, when operation overlap is expressed as a percentage

Subsequent operation's (Operation 20) start date and time - subsequent operation's queue time - current operation's intransit time + [current operation's total run time x (overlap percent / 100)]

None.

2a, or

Operation 10 run time (time/unit)

Operation start quantity x run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of time per unit.

2b

Operation 10 run time (units/time)

Operation start quantity / run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of units per time unit.

3

Operation 10 run start date and time

Current operation's due date and time - run time

None.

4

Operation 10 start date and time

Current operation's run start date and time - setup time

If you have a schedule with more than two operations, repeat steps 1 through 4 in this table until all prior operation due dates and times are calculated.

This table lists the steps that you take to calculate start and due dates and times for the prior operation (Operation 10), with an operation overlap expressed as a send ahead quantity:

Step To Calculate Use Notes

1

Operation 10 due date and time, when operation overlap is expressed as a send ahead quantity

Subsequent operation's (Operation 20) start date and time - current operation's intransit time - subsequent operation's queue time + [current operation's run time x (Operation start quantity - send ahead quantity)]

None.

2a, or

Operation 10 run time (time and unit)

Operation start quantity x run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of time per unit.

2b

Operation 10 run time (units/time)

Operation start quantity / run rate (converted to hours) + fixed run (converted to hours)

Use this calculation if the run rate is in terms of units per time unit.

If you have a schedule with more than two operations, repeat steps 1 through 4 in this table until all prior operation due dates and times are calculated.
