Factors Affecting Scheduling with PeopleSoft Manufacturing

If you are using PeopleSoft Manufacturing to schedule production, in addition to planned lead times, these factors affect the actual start date and time and the actual due date and time of each operation:

• Operation overlap, based on a percentage or send ahead quantity.

• Whether setup can occur during queue time or at any time after production begins.

• Whether setup time is included in scheduling the operation.

• Operation intensity.

• The work center calendar, if one exists.

• The production calendar, if one exists.

• The five-day workweek calendar.

Note:

If PeopleSoft Supply Planning is installed, you cannot define queue planning lead times. Simultaneous setup and queue is not considered.

You define these factors for each business unit, item, work center, or routing. You can also define these factors when maintaining the operation list if the production is in the Firmed or Released status when an operation list is created.
