The Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling
application is a Work in Process web-based shop floor scheduling solution.
Oracle Manufacturing Scheduling consists of two major components:
The constraint-based scheduling
engine schedules jobs and operations based on user-predefined objectives,
priorities, resources, and material constraints. It can reschedule single jobs
and operations or the entire shop floor.
The
Scheduler Workbench lets graphically view and reschedule single jobs and
operations based on constraints, such as resource or material shortages. It
provides with a visual display (Gantt chart) of jobs on the shop floor. Also
can interactively reschedule jobs, operations, and resources. And also can
manually control the rescheduling or let the system automatically optimize the
schedule based on resource and material constraints. The Scheduler Workbench
interfaces directly with Oracle Work in Process.
Features:
The Manufacturing
Scheduling product provides the following features:
- Graphically
view shop floor jobs, operations, and resources
- User
friendly drag and drop mechanism to reschedule jobs, operations, and
resources
- Fully
integrated with Oracle Work in Process
- Ability
to select the primary objective of work in process scheduling
- Ability
to schedule jobs based on available resources and material
- Ability
to reschedule jobs due to resource and material shortages (machine
breakdown, employee sickness, material availability)
- Ability
to maintain schedules
- Adjustable
bucket sizing that affects the Gantt chart and associated resource load
versus capacity view
- Simultaneous
and alternate resources invoked during high demand or when a resource is
unavailable
- Ability
to simulate capacity changes, or dragging and dropping to simulate load
changes on the Scheduler Workbench
- Modeling
features for creating a prototype for scheduling
- Minimum
transfer quantities for operations to move a portion of some assemblies to
a subsequent operation rather than waiting for the entire quantity to
complete
- Resource
batching to use resources across multiple jobs simultaneously, preventing
a resource from being under utilized
- Ability
to dispatch jobs to instances of machines
- Ability
to group and sequence jobs based on setup changeovers
- View
job related sales order and customer information on the workbench
- Oracle
Shop Floor Management enabled so you can schedule discrete jobs on the
Scheduler Workbench created in lot based organizations
- Integrated
with Oracle Enterprise Asset Management for scheduling maintenance of
assets
Constraint-Based
Scheduling:
The constraint-based scheduling
engine factors resource and material availability when scheduling and
rescheduling jobs and operations.
The constraint-based scheduling
engine lets you:
- Schedule
single discrete jobs and operations
- Reschedule
all jobs on the entire shop floor
