Generating Level Schedules
A level schedule is a production schedule that indicates the quantity of each item a process must produce during each shift to meet the calculated takt time over the specified planning period.
Kanban provides two methods of calculating and viewing a level schedule for your pacemaker manufacturing processes:
• Use Preliminary Level Schedule Report (17.14.2) to produce a simple, shift-by-shift production schedule.
Note: An enhanced version of Preliminary Level Schedule Report is available at menu 17.14.26 for .NET UI users only.
• Use Level Mix Workbench (17.14.1) to analyze the historical mix percentage at pacemaker processes, as well as determine the future mix. You also can update flow schedules to support level scheduling of future demand.
