Production Schedule Inquiry - Purpose
JT800E
The Production Schedule Inquiry program (JT800E) is an online inquiry program that allows the user to view the planned production quantities (flow authorization quantities) and availability quantities for all parts within a production center and plant that are active JIT manufacture, build-thru or transfer parts. The production center may be a cell or assembly line. The detail screen allows users to view a production schedule as either daily or weekly summary, depending on the option that is chosen from the menu.
Upon display of the detail screen, the total load and the percentage of capacity in the entered production center are calculated and displayed. It is possible to display availability for a given day or week for a part produced in that production center. This will help in establishing a production schedule to meet scheduled demand. Total load, percentage of capacity and availability are recalculated each time the user changes a daily/weekly production quantity on the screen.
