Use these settings to choose how to process and manage Works Orders, Planning and Scheduling
The working week must be defined to form a basis for calculating Works Order lead times and to assess production capacity. It is also used by Planning when building recommendations and stock projections, along with the Scheduler when scheduling works orders.
When a new Works Order is created or recommended by MRP, the start date is calculated using the total production time of all operations combined with the capacity defined in the operations associated working week calendar.
You can setup multiple individual working week calendars to suit the different working patterns of various resources throughout your factory. There will be a default working week calendar that should reflect the days and times that the factory is operational.
In general, the more production days that are included in the working week, or the longer each working day is, the shorter each Works Order’s estimated lead time will be.
Setting up the Working Week
Open: Manage Calendars
Open: Add | Edit
- Enter a reference and description relevant to the working calendar you are about creating/amending.
- Tick a day to set it as a production day.
- In Start Time set the time that production starts on that day.
- In End Time set the time that production ends on that day.
- Repeat for every other production day.
- The total production time for each day of the week is calculated from the amount of time from Start Time to End Time, minus any Non-Working Minutes.
- In the Non-Working Minutes grid add any periods where production is stopped, i.e. lunchtime and any other break times and tick the days that non-working period relates to.
- To save the changes, click OK.
Note: Amend a calendar’s working periods does not automatically adjust existing works order, operation or MRP recommendation dates. Works Orders and Operation dates will need to be adjusted in the scheduler or manually. The updated working periods will take effect for MRP recommendations during the next MRP run.
