Planning production orders brings together data from all over MKG, such as operations and resources, but also employees and time registration. If an operation goes differently than planned, a notification may arise. What does such a notification mean and what triggers it? This article provides an overview of all planning notifications.

We describe how to work with the schedule. We have entered several orders and defined several resources, in this case machines. For simplicity, we do not provide explanations of the buttons, screens, and controls here.

By default, MKG plans based on operation sequence and structure. It is also possible to plan by phase. This is often used in machine manufacturing. In that case, engineering is performed first, followed by assembly.

From the Production Advice List, orders can be scheduled. The scheduled operations are displayed in the production schedule, resource schedule, and capacity schedule. This guide shows how to schedule a production order.

In addition to production orders, calculations can also be scheduled.

Door de actie 'Planning vrijgeven' uit te voeren zorg je ervoor dat de datum waarop het materiaal of een uitbesteding beschikbaar komt en de interne planningsdatum van de orderregel, teruggekoppeld worden naar de productieorder.

Samengestelde producten kunnen gefaseerd worden gepland. Als het veld 'Productiefase' wordt ingevuld op de productieorderregel, zal er in de volgorde van deze fase worden gepland.

An order is automatically planned forward when no delivery date is entered. The end date is calculated based on the number of days from today during which planning is not allowed—according to the administration setting 'For planning ahead, start planning after'—plus the lead time in the schedule.

Handling is an interval in time or quantities that indicates that an employee must perform certain tasks for an unmanned operation. This includes tasks such as refilling materials or removing products.

An order is automatically planned backward when a delivery date is entered. This may result in operations being planned in the past. For example: the delivery date is tomorrow with a lead time of 40 hours.
