RE: BPCS-L Digest, Vol 1, Issue 798

Finite forward scheduler is designed for leveling the load level in a work
center defined as a production line and redefine the release and due dates
for planned firm planned ans shop orders. and let to see any diference with
the MRP due date for any order.

Also you can add release remove change quantity or sequence etc for any
order.

Is very useful when you are working in a repetitive or jit manufacturing
enviroment.

Exist only in green screen version and you must to put a code in the line
code field in the work  and as optional a code in the tech code 1 in the
item master thats all.

Is not a finite planner or scheduler like I2, asprova etc.

If you need a software like I2 or see some theroy about see the site
www.production-scheduling.com or see the software lekin scheduler system
that you can find in internet

Mitch:

The logic for MPS/MRP calculation in this situation are as follows:

1.  The Horizon is considered under the direct control of the Planner.
Therefore, the system cannot create Planned Orders within this time period.

2.  If there is a Net Requirement within the Horizon (i.e. Projected Balance
goes below Minimum Balance), do not create the Planned Order on that date.
MPS/MRP will create the Planned Order just outside of the Horizon with an
Expedite Message to the actual required date.

3.  An FPO that is outside of the Horizon was placed there by the Planner.
MPS/MRP then assumes that the Planner has taken control of a time period
further out than just the Horizon.

4.  Therefore, if there already is an FPO outside the Horizon, MPS/MRP
recommends that it be Expedited to the actual required date.  In the netting
logic,
it will assume that this change will be made by the Planner and it will
carry
forward the Projected Balance.  When the next need occurs, it will create a
Planned Order on that date.

I hope that this explanation is clear.  If you have further questions,
please
feel free to contact me offline.
