The scheduling by product view allows you to have a macro visualization of the different production orders of the account, segmented by the different products that will be produced throughout the day/week/month.
It provides insights into the different workloads and capacities of the company, considering the different available filters.
Before starting the analysis of the load and capacity considering the different days, we recommend reviewing this article. It provides several examples, offering a more detailed explanation of how the load and capacity are calculated, considering multiple scenarios.
Available Filters
There are several filters available to help you understand in more detail the production order distribution per product in the scheduling menu.
Scale: Periodicity that will be displayed on the Gantt chart. The values available are hour, day, week, month.
Shipping: Only the production orders with the shipping identified on the filter will be displayed. In that same context, only the products associated with those production orders will be listed. The load will be adapted accordingly.
Product: Only the production orders that have the identified product will be displayed. The load will be adapted accordingly.
Section: Only the products that have operations that belong to the identified section will be presented on the listing. The capacity and load will be adapted accordingly.
Hide Weekends: If selected, the weekends will not be presented on the Gantt chat.
Date filter: Time interval to be displayed on the Gantt chart.
