You can sequence the jobs and Flow schedules that you are building within schedule groups. This is done by assigning a unique schedule number to each job or Flow schedule within a group.
Schedule groups are defined in the Define Schedule Groups window and can be optionally assigned to jobs, in the Discrete Jobs window, or to Flow schedules, in the Line Scheduling Workbench Options window. The schedule group assigned in the Line Scheduling Workbench Options window can be overridden in the Work Order-less Completions window, but only with a schedule group that is associated with a Flow schedule.
Sequencing jobs and Flow schedules within a schedule group makes it possible to prioritize, for example by customers, the jobs or Flow schedules being built on a specific production line.
You must specify a production line when you sequence Flow schedules. Production lines are optional for discrete jobs. When a production line is assigned, the schedule group/build sequence/production line combination must be unique, as shown in the following table.
| Schedule Group 1000 | Schedule Group 2000 |
|---|---|
| Production Line 4000, Build Sequence 0001 | Production Line 4000, Build Sequence 0001 |
| Production Line 4000, Build Sequence 0002 | Production Line 4000, Build Sequence 0002 |
| Production Line 5000, Build Sequence 0001 | Production Line 5000, Build Sequence 0001 |
| Production Line 5000, Build Sequence 0002 | Production Line 5000, Build Sequence 0002 |
All of the above combinations would be valid for any job or Flow schedule, but you cannot assign the same combination to both a discrete job and a Flow schedule.
