Scheduled

When used together with FactoryLogix Production Scheduling,

 Production Planners can place a scheduled kit group into the production schedule of specific factory resources (production lines, workstations, areas, and so on) on a batch-by-batch basis.

Transportation orders are generated to inform the stock room exactly when the materials in this kit group need to be prepared. A destination (factory resource) on the factory floor is specified where materials will be delivered.

Not Scheduled

The kit group

will not

 be scheduled in the Production Scheduling area. A kit will be created in the stock room and dispatched to the factory floor under the kit group name, but there

will not

 be a specific destination (factory resource) or a time frame. 

Stock room workers will create and process this kit using FactoryLogix, but on a timeline that is established using their own internal processes.

Reservation UID Strategy

• Reserve a unique set of materials for each individual Batch
  Reserves only the kitted materials required to complete the batch.

• Dynamically share materials across multiple Batches running on the same production line
  Allocates kitted materials as needed for all batches on the same production line.

  • Number of previous Batches to check for Excess Materials
    Specifies a "look back" through

• • n completed batches. When excess kitted materials are located, they are allocated dynamically to upcoming batches on the same production line to help maintain peak efficiency.

Material Dispatch Strategy

• Issue Entire Materials in Initial Transport
  Issues all materials necessary to build the entire batch.

• Limit Number of Kitted Reels to
  Limits the number of kitted reels to the number you specify.

• Limit Initial Amount of Kitted Materials to (Hours: Minutes)
  Limits the initial amount of kitted materials to the specified

• Hours

• and

• Minutes

• before additional kitted materials are released from stock.

Reordering Strategy

• Use Manual Reordering
  Specifies only manual reordering for kitted materials/kit groups. Operators must manually re-order materials as needed.

• Use Automatic Reordering
  Material requests from stock are generated automatically based on consumption rates in production.

  • Reorder Interval: Every (Hours: Minutes)
    Specifies the reorder interval for kit groups every

• • n

• • Hours

• • and

• • n

• • Minutes.

    • Reorder Priority
      Sets the priority of the reorder

• • • transport orders when requesting new materials (High,

• • • Medium, or

• • • Low).

Material Staging Strategy

• Transport Material Directly to Factory Resources
  Ensures that kitted materials are transported directly to the factory resources requiring them.

  • Filtered Source:
    Specifies the factory stock location where kit groups are transported from.

• Transport Material to Staging Location (Source: Target)
  Ensures that kitted materials are transported to the specified staging location.

• Source

• specifies where the materials originate in the factory;

• Target

• specifies the delivery location in the factory where they will be staged.
