Analysis and Adjustment Using the Dispatch List
Use the dispatch list to review and manage operation start times and sequences on a specific resource.
Analyze
Select a resource from the resource list, and review operation details for each work order. Filter for relevant columns by using the View By field to review only scheduling attribute data, customer service data, maintenance work order data, or work order operation data. For more work order information, you can click the View Work Order icon in the Work Order Column to view the work order in the Supply Chain Execution work area.
Adjust
Here are the list of actions you can do to influence scheduling using the dispatch list.
- Change the sequence of work order operations. Use the sequence arrows to move an operation
or block of consecutive operations ahead of or behind other operations. Repair
the schedule to save your sequence.Note: Production Scheduling will attempt to schedule contiguous operation-resources on the same resource only if the same set of resources and resource alternates are defined.
- Change an operation's start time. Double-click the Start Time cell for a work order and specify the date and time. Repair the schedule to save this change.
- Override the need-by date. Double-click the Need-by Override cell for a work order and specify the date and time; then solve the schedule to save the override. The solve process uses the new date to target the work order's completion. The override date isn't released to your manufacturing application when you release the schedule.
- Change the alternate resource of a selected work order operation. Double-click
the Alternate Resource cell for the work order operation and select the required
alternate resource from the drop-down list.
If the following conditions are satisfied, offloading of work order operation with alternate resources can be completed:
- Alternate resource for a work order must be defined in the corresponding work definition resource record.
- Work Order is not firm in SCM Work Execution and the work order operation has not been transacted.
- The resource sequence number of the work order operation must match the resource sequence number of the work definition operation in the Supply Chain Execution work area. Phantom components with resource alternates in their work definition may not be offloaded by the system. This may be because the phantom explosion process in Work Execution during work order creation can introduce inconsistencies in resource sequence numbers. Alternate resources and operation attributes exist on the work definition but not on the work order within the SCM Execution. To ensure they are included in a production schedule, the work definition should be setup such that the phantom items are consumed by a separate (upstream) operation-resource sequence with Scheduled flag set to No.
The solve process discards manual adjustments to work order operations, including those saved using the repair process, and calculates a new schedule.
