Hello
In the last post, we looked at the difference between Scheduling and Dispatching. At this time, I want to talk about the Functional Description of APRISO Dispatching Board.
What is the general sequence for Detail Schedule management? Maybe, It will depend a lot on the system configuration and procedures within the company, but if they use ERP, APS, and MOM(MES), it will be similar to the below.
Now, I would like to look around how the APRIO Dispatching Board performs Detailed Scheduling that reflects the situation of the field by the general sequence.
First of all, it is a Schedule Building. How does APRISO Dispatching Board reflect the Schedule created in ERP or APS?
APRISO uses Workspace classes and Objects called Workspace.
| Workspace classes | Workspace |
| • Defines the type of scheduling process, determines the screen layout, the business methods, the operation types and resources types, etc | • Single instance of the scheduling process is assigned to a workspace class • Takes the set of orders and operations to be planned • Returns the set of operations scheduled to particular resources |
Through Workspace Classes, we define how to manage production schedules ( Manage production order by production line, production order by equipment, or production order by line supervisor, and so on.) and what information should be displayed in the workspace.
| Internal Business Data – APRISO | External Business Data – ERP or APS |
| • Master data - Products and Components • Resources - Machines, equipment, tools - Employees, departments • Scheduling methodology - Standard operations - Screen customizations | • Production Orders |
And the supervisor who manages the production creates a Workspace Instance based on Workspace Classes and adjusts the detailed schedule on the Dispatching board.
