Job Schedule Gantt Chart
The Gantt Chart for a job schedule shows all unfinished
operations and where the job is in the manufacturing calendar.
You can automatically schedule jobs backward from the due
date, forward from the start date or manually.
Finite modeling lets you see the effect on the shop of
moving operations to different date periods.
Active Job Status
With this spreadsheet display of all active jobs, you can
view up-to-date information concerning where every job is
and what jobs are behind schedule.
Data can be sorted and filtered to display only jobs of
interest at the moment in the order desired.
The Priority No. indicates if a job is ahead of or behind
schedule calculated in tenths of a day.
Detail for any job can be displayed within seconds, including
order information, operation and shop status and the schedule
for remaining operations
Dispatch List
Print Dispatch Lists for overloaded Work Centers so that
shop personnel know the order in which jobs should be handled.
You can first sort queued jobs by Priority No. so that
the jobs furthest behind schedule are processed first.
Before printing, you can modify the sequence to account
for any special circumstances.
Job Schedule Gantt Chart
The Job Schedule Gantt Chart provides a graphical display
of the daily schedule by Work Center for a specific job.
The current status of the job, delivery status and the schedule
for remaining operations are clearly visible. Operations
may be re-scheduled using forward, backward or manual scheduling
techniques. You can use "What if?" analysis to
view the effects of proposed schedule changes and then revert
back to the original schedule if desired. The Finite Modeling
graph can be accessed, which provides the ability to view
the effect of drag and drop moving of work center loads.
Active Job Status
The Active Jobs Status screen displays the current status
of each active job in Realtrac. You can quickly determine
a job’s current location; whether it is ahead or behind
schedule; and the estimated, actual and remaining hours.
You can retrieve only those jobs of specific interest and
generate a customized Open Order Status report.
Job Priority
The Job Priority No. is determined automatically after entering
a job into the system and is updated in real time to reflect
the job’s current status against its schedule. The
Priority No. reflects the number of days a job is scheduled
to be finished ahead of or behind the due date.
Dispatch List Report
The Dispatch List Report can be a powerful
tool to help shop employees determine the order in which
jobs should be run to maximize throughput at a work center.
Separate reports can be prepared for Active / Queued, Pending
and Distant jobs. The default Report Type is for Queued
jobs.
