The Dynamic Production Schedule module is based on the following setup:    In System Setup for Shop Floor Tracking Defaults the system assigns the Average Hrs/Work Day as 24 hours.

  
 

Also check the status of the Work Order of interest – it can not be on Administrative Hold (for example), to complete the scheduling.

This screen provides visibility of all open and scheduled orders.  Users are able to see when capacity constraints may hinder production and any time in the future.  This module can provide sufficient notice to adjust the production schedule or adjust capacity to maximize production and meet promised delivery dates.  It will also indicate when a job will not be completed on time based on processing time remaining and the current due date.

 

This module will aide in managing jobs by the work orders and/or work centers based on customer requirements (due date or complete date).  The work orders can be managed by work center with the ability to prioritize within each work center.  This module will allow you to view and schedule the workload to ensure deadlines are met.  The system will assume that you have a 24 hour capacity shop.  The idea behind the work order schedule module is not to predict when the job will move through the shop, but to accurately prioritize the job so the user knows which job has to be processed first.  To get a better understanding on how this module calculates the priority for a job see the attached word document <Production Schedule Module>.
