Title: Finite Scheduling
Post by JAM1967 on 06/14/06 at 15:58:39

I already posted this on the Forum and am posting it again as a repeatable problem, as I cannot get it to work, despite trying various ways.

I have a situation where I want to forward schedule and use finite scheduling too. I have 9 work orders set up, each with 1 operation, and all using the same work center. This one work center is set up to use finite scheduling and 8 hours capacity.

I am running SH-E Finite Scheduling, hitting Re-Process and Go, and nothing happens. The Sched Start date does not change and all the Sched Finish dates show 00/00/00.

SH-G Print Work Order Schedule has original Start Dates but no Finish Dates.

SH-I Work Center Schedule has no Start or Finish Dates.

SH-O Finite Schedule Bucket Report has a completely blank screen with nothing on it, no text, lines or anything.

Am I reporting a bug or am I missing a step?

seems to me Ive done that and it makes a mess with the dates

Ive never had any results with the scheduler that made less work for me.

Lynn,

Well, it looks like someone else is experiencing the same problems that I have. Can we have this noted as a bug and have it fixed sometime in the future? I think it is a good feature and it would be nice to have it working.

Thanks

i tested in manufacturing answer. i was getting the same result as you were.

then i remembered, my shop calendar was out of date!

so i ran a new shop calendar from 1/1/2006 thru 12/31/2008 marking off just weekends.

went back to sheduling SH-E. process and GO. wow, now i have the finish dates.

hth,
dave

Dave,

Thanks for your help. The notes on "How Finite Scheduling Works" state that you "must generate a scheduling calendar". I thought I had done that but obviously did not do it correctly.

I just followed your advice and now it seems to work properly. I will double check it thoroughly over the weekend, but I am sure you gave us the solution. So thanks very much once again, otherwise I would still be banging my head against the wall.
