Preliminary Level Schedule Report
Use Preliminary Level Schedule Report (17.14.2) to calculate the number of units that must be produced during each shift to meet takt time requirements of a process.
If you have QAD .NET UI, you can use the enhanced version of the report available at menu 17.14.26. The screen examples in this topic illustrate that version of the program.
Takt time is calculated based on the setting of Takt Time Calculation specified in Kanban Process Maintenance:
• When Takt Time Calculation is EPEICalc, takt time is calculated when you run Basic Process Calculations or Kanban Process Workbench.
• When Takt Time Calculation is LvlMixWB, takt time is calculated when you run Level Mix Workbench.

Use the filters to select processes to include in the report output. The only required fields are the date range. You can include all processes or limit the selection to processes defined as pacemakers in Kanban Process Maintenance (17.1.3). See
Pacemakers.
This program uses calendar records defined in Process Calendar Maintenance (17.1.13) to determine the total time available on each daily shift. Define exceptions in Process Calendar Except Maint (17.1.14). To display individual types of exceptions defined in that program, enter up to five codes in Schedule Shift Adjustments. These fields default from Kanban Control (17.24). The system validates these values against entries in the Reference field in Process Calendar Except Maint. If more than five adjustment categories are included in the exception records, the report output combines additional exception times in the Other column. See
Set Up Process Shifts.
The system uses the process takt time to calculate a preliminary level schedule for the process, expressed in terms of level schedule units per shift, per day:
Level Schedule Units = Total Available Minutes / Process Takt Time in Minutes
