Analysis and Adjustment Using Flow Schedules

Use Flow Schedules to review and manage the end time and scheduled build sequence of your flow schedules on a given production line.

Analyze

Select a production line from the list, and review details for each flow schedule. The flow schedules are sorted in ascending order by the end time and scheduled build sequence number.

The start time of a flow schedule is calculated backward from the last operation's end time, considering the takt time and the number of operations of the production line, together with the associated organization calendar. The exact usage durations of operation-resource sequences of the associated flow work definition aren’t considered.

Selecting flow schedules in the table highlights the flow schedule group that the selected flow schedules belong to.

Adjust

Here’s the list of actions you can do to influence scheduling using the flow schedules:

• Change the sequence of flow schedules. Use the sequence arrows to move a flow schedule or block of consecutive flow schedules ahead of or behind other flow schedules. Repair the schedule to save your sequence. The scheduled build sequence is recalculated at the end of each solve and repair action, considering each flow schedule's completion date.
• Change a flow schedule's end time. Double-click the End Time cell for a flow schedule and specify the date and time. Repair the schedule to save this change.
