What Is a Schedule Change Log?
A schedule change log is the audit trail that records every time a job's plan is created, rescheduled, swapped, overridden, closed, or reopened, and why.
What Is a Setup Sub-Phase in Changeover Tracking?
A setup sub-phase splits one changeover into timed stages, teardown, fixture, tools, first article, QA hold, and run-off, so a shop can see where setup time really goes.
What Is a Step Override in Quote Scenarios?
A step override is a per-scenario change to one routing step's setup, run time, or work center inside a quote, so a what-if option can be priced without altering the base routing.
What Is an Overtime Allowance in Shift Scheduling?
An overtime allowance is a shift's declared ceiling on hours per day and its flag for whether overtime is permitted, a stated limit that documents intent for the schedule.
What Is Holiday Scope in Scheduling Calendars?
Holiday scope is the level a non-working day applies to, plant-wide, one shift, or one work center, so the scheduler removes capacity from exactly the right resources.
What Is Job Status in Manufacturing Scheduling?
Job status is the top-level state of a manufacturing order, from scheduled through in progress and completed, that tells a planner where the work stands right now.
What Is Move Time in a Routing?
Move time is the physical transport time between operations on a routing step, counted in a job's total-time and cost estimate but not in the engine's capacity allocation.
What Is Shift Time in Production Scheduling?
Shift time is a single day's working slot inside a shift, a start, an end, and a break, that the scheduler decodes into the productive hours a work center has that day.
What Is Teardown Time in a Routing?
Teardown time is the cleanup and dismantling time at the end of a routing step, counted in a job's total-time and cost estimate but not in capacity allocation.
What Is a Continuous-Process Work Center?
A continuous-process work center runs flowing product you cannot count in transfer batches. Learn how the flag changes which lot-streaming model a schedule applies.
What Is a Downtime Event in Production Scheduling?
A downtime event is a period when one work center is unavailable, planned or unplanned. How downtime removes capacity, reroutes jobs, and how you enter it in the current release.
What Is a Plant Holiday in Production Scheduling?
A plant holiday is a non-working day that removes capacity from every work center at once. Learn how plant, shift, and machine holidays differ and how they shape a schedule.
