Scheduling Configured Parts—Key Exercises
IMPORTANT |
It is extremely important that you set up and work within the CBS
training site. If you work within any other site, you will not be
able to access a CBS server. To simplify data entry, select the CBS
site as your default site on the
Sites
per User window. Also, to keep your data separate from
that of other users, be sure to name all data using your initials as the
prefix. |
Basic Data Setup
Overview of Constraint Based Scheduling Data
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to create the
required data used in the Constraint Based Scheduling (CBS) exercises. This sets up data for your
site that needs to be done only once for all CBS exercises.
- If you have not done so already, set up your site so that it includes all
the CBS required data.
General exercise for Overview of Constraint Based Scheduling Data
Main Exercises
Creating Shop Orders for CTO Parts
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show you how
CBS handles shop orders for configured parts.
Windows:
Shop Order
Simulation Client
Note: Before beginning this
exercise, make sure that you have defined your configured part, XX–250–G20C, along with its
configuration characteristics and rules.
- Make sure that the program is set to create shop orders with a status of
Planned.
Note: Parameters for
Distribution and Manufacturing window.
- Open the
Shop Order window.
Create a shop order for your configured part, XX–250–G20C.
- In the shop order header, right-click, point to Configuration, and
then click Create to define the part's configuration characteristics for the selected shop
order. Select 6 as the characteristic
value.
Note: When prompted, be sure to click Yes to create and schedule the shop order
operations.
- Reopen or refresh the Simulation Client. Find your shop order,
right-click, and then click Show.
- Click Show Contents. Verify that the configuration
characteristic, GLENG, is attached to this shop order with the correct
value.
Note: When the Sequencing
Assistant is used to
reorder operations for a work center, a combination of the inventory part and
configuration characteristics can be specified as the sequence criteria.
Using the Capability Check for CTO Parts
Purpose: The purpose of this exercise is to show you how
the Capability Check feature is used for CTO parts.
Windows:
Customer Order
Simulation Client
DOP Header
- Open the
Customer Order window.
Create a customer order for your customer.
- Enter a customer order line for your configured part, XX-250-G20C.
- Select the customer order line, right-click, point to Configuration,
and then click Create. Enter 8 as the characteristic
value.
- Select the customer order line, right-click, point to Capability Check, and then click Run Capability Check. The
Capability Check window opens.
- Make sure to set the Allocate option to Reserve and Allocate. Click OK.
CBS calculates a promise date.
- Review the interim order structure created for this capability
check request.
- Reopen or refresh the Simulation Client, and review the promise shop order
created for the configured part. Verify that the configuration
characteristic, GLENG, is related to the shop order.
- Release the customer order.
- Once the background processing has completed, review the DOP header and
shop orders created for this customer order line.
- Reopen or refresh the Simulation Client. Verify that the shop order
inherits the characteristics from the promise shop order.
