© beas group 2011 / Page 6 General (Online Connection) Database be.as APS  Production planning is always implemented directly from the production data. A copy of the data is never created for planning.  in the graphical view too, the calculation is always performed from the original data. Each change therefore always directly affects production.  If an incorrect action was unintentionally implemented in the graphical view, effective undo functions are available.

Standard method for rough and detailed planning. Re-allocate forward: resource optimized from start date. If delivery date cannot be met, resources are overloaded stepwise, until the delivery date can be met Catch up: For planned orders, which have not startet yet. Operations are moved and compressed. Backward simulation: determines the latest possible start date without consideration of time reservations and material availability

© beas group 2011 / Page 9 General Scheduling: Backward  Backward- calculation is optimized for material requirement  backwards from date of delivery, start date as late as possible.  2 order related sub-assemblies.  Subassemblies are finished, when „Assembly 1“ starts.

© beas group 2011 / Page 10 General Scheduling: forward  „Assembly 1“ can be produced only, after all sub-assemblies have been finished.  last operations of the sub- assemblies are linked to the first operation of „Assembly 1“.

© beas group 2011 / Page 12 Work with APS Standard: planning based on work orders Resource: planning based on resources Examples: -Planning for resource-critical machines (eg. laser machine) -Planning view only for the next 5 days and only for one resource group „laser machine“

© beas group 2011 / Page 13 Work with APS (planning view)  Filter production orders by resource usage and other criteria  Sort production orders (Planning with priority)  Plan and dispatch production orders

© beas group 2011 / Page 15 Work with APS (planning view)  Block work orders  Direct access on work order structure

© beas group 2011 / Page 16 Work with APS (planning view)  Shortage per work order  Material requirement per work order

© beas group 2011 / Page 17 Work with APS (Sorting in the planning view)  Pre-sort via right click on column header – sort by column xyz.  Left click on document number and keep mouse button pressed. Move the selected entry (drag and drop).

© beas group 2011 / Page 20 Working with APS (Menu Area) Depending on the field just selected in APS, the menu automatically adjusts. Only those fields that are currently necessary are displayed.

© beas group 2011 / Page 21 Working with APS (Moving Operations)  Routing positions can be freely moved  You can configure what happens after the move.  select the Settings tab and then select the desired setting in the After moving field.

© beas group 2011 / Page 22 Working with APS (New Calculation) to carry out a new calculation in the graphical view, at least one operation must be selected. After you have done this, you can use the button to begin calculations.

© beas group 2011 / Page 23 Working with APS (Undo) it is possible to undo the last action carried out in the graphical view. be.as stores the 10 most recent actions.

© beas group 2011 / Page 24 Working with APS (Resource Utilization) 1. Utilization Shows the overall utilization of the resource. 2. Resources Shows the individual operations which are currently dispatched to the resource.

© beas group 2011 / Page 25 Working with APS (Resource Utilization) resource group allocated to an operation Alternative operation allocated to an operation this can be done directly in APS. In the lower area operation can be planned and dispatched

© beas group 2011 / Page 26 Working with APS (Grouping Function) 1. Hold down the Ctrl+ key and click on the routing positions 2. Click on the empty Gantt area, hold and drag a rectangle over all routing positions to be selected 3. Hold down the Ctrl+ key and click on the scale (upper timeline): All routing positions from that day are selected.
