The scheduling by machine view allows you to have a macro visualization of the production orders assigned to the different machines throughout the day/week/month. It provides insights into the loads and capacities of the company, considering the available filters.
Available Filters
There are several filters available to help you understand in more detail the production order distribution per machine 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 machines associated with those production orders will be listed.
Product: Only the production orders that have the identified product will be displayed.
Section: Only the machines that belong to the identified section will be presented on the listing. If there are no production orders that have those machines assigned, no results will be presented. The load and capacity will be adapted accordingly.
Machine: Only the production orders assigned to the filtered machine will be presented.
Hide Weekends: If selected, the weekends will not be presented on the Gantt chart.
Date filter: Time interval to be displayed on the Gantt chart.
