Introduction to Production Scheduler

PS integration with EBS and ASCP
PS plan options
PS key entities (items, safety stock, demand, work order, PS UI views,
routings, BOM, resources, etc.) and data setup in EBS
Concepts such as lot multiple and co-products
Complex networks and hard links
Sequence dependent setups and changeover rules
Work order and planned order scheduling
Repetitive manufacturing optimization
Enhancements of EBS-PS V2 integration

Description

Constrained dependent demands,

Independent Demands, Planned Orders

Advanced Supply Chain Planning

Plan for multiple facilities

Production Scheduling
Schedule a single facility

Which plant makes what products

Sequence Production to meet

and when

demands on this facility

Pre-builds based on capacity shortages

Account for detailed production

constraints and come up with an

executable schedule

Alternate facilities, suppliers and

processes
Detailed Sequence of activities near term to
constrain the medium / long term plan

Description Modes of Running PS

Running PS Standalone

Running PS with reference to an

ASCP Plan

Schedule work orders only

Schedule work orders and planned

orders

Forecast demands specified via

Demand schedules

Forecast demands come in via the

referenced ASCP plan

Inter-org demands included only

via internal sales orders

Inter-org demands also include

planned order demands from the
ASCP plan

Items to be included in PS
specified via specification of
category sets / categories

Items to be included in PS derived

from the items in the ASCP plan

No Forecast consumption

Forecast consumption performed in

ASCP is retained within PS

Production Scheduling Integration

Description Schedule Options - Horizon

The length of the

scheduling horizon
A subset of the scheduling horizon
within which schedule results are
published back (released) to ERP
An offset relative to the system date
that marks the start date of the
schedule
A timestamp that is appended to the
start date of the schedule

Schedule start and end are derived

from the other inputs described

Description Schedule Options - Scope

Number of days prior to schedule start date within

which to consider sales orders as valid demands to
PS

Behavior of the demand time fence

depends on whether ASCP plan is
referenced or not (see Notes for
Details)

If no ASCP Plan reference is specified,

demand schedules can be specified as
input to the PS schedule

Set of categories within the specified

category set determine the set of items in the
PS schedule if no ASCP plan reference is
specified

Lot multiple

Defaulting
Order

EBS Modeling Construct

PS Routing level lot multiple

1.

The minimum of all Charge quantities for

resources within a routing (OPM Only)

2.

The MTQ of the first operation of the routing

3.

Fixed Order quantity of the primary item produced

by the routing

4.

Fixed Lot multiple of the primary item produced

by the routing

5.

Minimum Order quantity of the primary item

produced by the routing

6.

Maximum Order quantity of the primary item

produced by the routing

7.

Value of 1

It is strongly recommended to avoid a lot multiple of 1 from

being created in PS due to the large number of operation
instances created as a result

Page 31

Co-products
Co-Products defined in OPM and OSFM and by-products
defined in WIP and OPM are represented as part of the item
routing in PS
OSFM Lot Based Jobs with the co-product supply flag set to
Yes will create co-product supplies in PS. Those with the
flag set to No will not

represent OPM complex routing relationships
Transfer Percents between operations influence step
quantities which in turn determine resource and
component usages

Repetitive Manufacturing Optimization

Repetitive Manufacturing Optimization (RMO) addresses the following business

requirements
Scheduling of production campaigns on designated resources across manufacturing
cycles
Minimum run length constraints on these designated resources across manufacturing
cycles
Optimization of sequence dependant changeovers on these resources during campaign /
minimum run schedule creation

Page 48

PS EBS V2 integration enhancements list

Time based lot multiple plan option set by resource
Support batchable resources by grouping operations based on attributes and
attribute values
Use resource calendar for changeovers
Ability to specify which planned order should be released
Pass forecast priorities to PS
Use All-of-Sets for replacement groups
Production Schedule as a source of firm planned orders to ASCP
Use defined item and resource groupings and better naming conventions
Distinguish resources from OPM as crew or machine or tool
Set campaign run optimization for properties for machines in PS
Additional lead time attribute in PS
