The following are functions available in the Tools Menu for maintaining flow schedules. This menu is available through any of the windows in the Line Scheduling Workbench.

• Completions

• Mixed Model Map

• Preferences

• Roll Flow Schedules

• Delete Flow Schedules

You can complete flow schedules through the Work Order-less Completions window. Choose Completions from the Tools menu to display the window. The details of the schedules you selected are defaulted in the Work Order-less Completions window.

You can access the Mixed Model Workbench from the Tools menu. The Mixed Model Map Workbench helps you to create and monitor your line design by balancing a line against a specified forecast.

You can use the Mixed Model Map to compare line information with demand requirements. This provides information to adjust resources on the line to meet the demand. The output of the Mixed Model Map will give you the line rate.

The Preferences window is used to change the quantity types that show on the Flow Schedule Summary window.

The Planned quantity is originally calculated when the flow schedule is created using the rule and available capacity. The Completed quantity is updated when you perform a completion on this schedule. The Variance is the difference between Planned and Completed quantities.
