Fields and Definitions for the Production Scheduling Method
 
 
Calculate Capacity Load Based on:
 
Run & Setup TImes in Work Order Traveler Setup under Production Planning

The default, “Run & Setup Time” will calculate the resources and costs associated with those entered in the work center setups and activities for the product. The costs will be based on the work center rates, and the capacity on the product routing information.

Run & Setup Times in Activities Setup
under Work Center Setup

The Activities Drivers option may be used in conjunction with the Job Planning module, and will calculate the costs and durations based on parameters entered by the users in the planning module.Normally, the Run & Setup time option is used.  However, once the system has an active capacity planning module in place, the user may use Activities Drivers to schedule priorities in the Dynamic Scheduling Module.

Avg Hrs/Work Day (For Cap Plng)
The system assigns the Average Hrs/Work Day as 24 hours.  This field is for reference only.

No change is required in this setup unless the user is going to make extensive use of the job planning module.

Note:  In order to add Times in Routing, the Run and Setup Time MUST be selected in this module.
