Production Schedule Maintenance by Part - Purpose
JT110E
The Production Schedule Maintenance by Part program (JT110E) is an online maintenance program that allows you to balance the production quantities (flow authorization quantities) for a part within all production centers that may produce it. All production centers in the same family as the part's main production center (from the Part Master file) are displayed, as well as other production centers currently producing the part. The detail screen serves as a worksheet that allows you to simulate a production schedule before updating the master files. Once the optimal schedule has been determined, affected flow authorizations are updated along with their flow requirements.
Upon display of the detail screen, it is possible to view the load percentage of each production center displayed. Total loads and part availability are calculated for each day and each production center for the requested part. This information helps in establishing a production schedule to meet scheduled demand.
A flow authorization may be broken for several reasons: change in daily production quantity, change in revision level, or change in flow interval period.
Percentage of capacity total load and availability are recalculated each time you change a production quantity on the screen.
