Plan and release production

Establish the production window and release eligible work against an available resource.

Step by step

  1. Check the operating basis Production Planner or Admin

    Production Planner checks the product, customer order and resource. Admin confirms that the acting account maps to the intended person. Resolve a resource marked Maintenance or Unavailable before expecting a release to succeed.

    • Establish product, readiness and acting identity
    • Updates Items, Orders, Resources, People, Users
  2. Capture the window Production Planner

    Production Planner sets the named period, planned minutes and ideal cycle. The guarded capture validates the basis and returns the same saved result when the request is repeated unchanged.

    • Save the validated window basis
    • Updates Planned production windows, Resources
  3. Prepare the work order Production Planner

    Production Planner checks planned quantity and dates against the customer demand and resource. Confirm that the order is in an eligible state before executing release.

    • Check quantity, dates and linked order
    • Updates Work orders, Orders, Resources
  4. Release the work Production Planner

    Production Planner runs the guarded release. Eligible Draft work moves to Released and the command freezes its release input. A changed request for the same work order conflicts with the original result.

    • Move eligible Draft work to Released once
    • Updates Work orders
  5. Hand over the run Production Operator

    Production Operator identifies the released work order and the production window to use for capture. Discuss the resource and interval together before the operator starts entering evidence.

    • Identify the run and evidence boundary
    • Updates Work orders, Planned production windows

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A resource's daily capacity is mistaken for the planned minutes of the selected window.
  • The operator chooses a neighboring window on the same resource because names do not distinguish the periods.
  • A changed quantity is sent as a retry after release, leaving a conflict that needs the planner's attention.
