Preface

Presents a summary of the training guide, describes the training environment, and any prerequisites required to take the training.

1

Overview: Changes in Paradigm

Discusses new terms and introduces new concepts, including managing repetitive order details, schedule discrete orders, schedule discrete, repetitive, and kanban orders on a shared resource, and track performance to schedules.

2

Getting Familiar with MSW

Introduces the framework, discusses concepts and tasks associated with retrieving scheduling data, including selection criteria, basic rules and system setup. Discusses reviewing scheduling data, including reviewing and drilling into supporting data, targeting data, and filtering and sorting data. Also discusses managing the UI, including monitor size, housekeeping, adding/removing fields, creating views, using auto-hide, and more.

3

Create a Master Schedule

Describes the business objective and process maps. Discusses scheduling horizon concepts. Describes how to identify production items with supply shortages, including reading the supply/demand panel and modifying demand sources. Discusses scheduling production orders, including modifying, creating, and auto-firming orders. Discusses production order type concepts, then tells you how to manage resource capacity, including how to read the capacity panel, use calendar exceptions, view capacity trends, and set up capacity.

4

Getting Familiar with PSW

Introduces the framework. Discusses retrieving scheduling data, including using and modifying selection criteria and basic rules. Discusses reviewing scheduling data, including introducing the Sequence Grid, Production Order Browse, and supporting data. Introduces capacity, and discusses targeting data with the navigator and grouping and filtering data.

5

Create a Production Schedule

Provides an overview of the production scheduling flow. Describes concepts, including scheduling by release versus due date, defining the sequence horizon, scheduling by release date, shift, and multi-resources. Discusses splitting a production order and anchoring a production order due date.

6

Release Orders to Production

Provides an overview of the process flow and describes general considerations. For discrete production orders, tells you how to authorize and release orders, and how to dispatch orders. For repetitive production orders, tells you how to authorize and dispatch orders.

7

Monitor Production

Provides an overview of the process flow. Discusses monitoring production activity, including visualizing completes to schedule. Also, discusses reviewing production activity detail, including discussions for both discrete and repetitive production orders. Tells you how to manage orders by closing orders, deleting schedule history, and reviewing the financial impacts.
