Midpoint Rescheduling

You can use midpoint rescheduling to reschedule around a bottleneck job operation. When you midpoint reschedule jobs, job start and completion dates and times are automatically updated. The start and completion dates of all other job operations, including operations you added that are not part of the original routing, are also updated. Material and resource requirement dates are also updated.

Prerequisites

arrow icon   To midpoint reschedule operations:

  1. Navigate to the Operations window.

  2. Select the discrete Job.

  3. Choose the Find button to populate the Operations region with the job's operations.

  4. Select the Operation.

    You can choose any operation since any operation can be a bottleneck operation.

  5. Choose the Reschedule button. The Reschedule window appears.

  6. Choose either of the following options:

    First Unit Start Date: Reschedules the operation from its first unit start date (FUSD) and time.

    Last Unit Completion Date: Reschedules the operation from its last unit completion date (LUCD) and time.

  7. Enter the reschedule Date and time.

    The reschedule date and time becomes the new FUSD or LUCD and time of the operation. Operations that are before the operation being rescheduled are backward scheduled from this date and time. Operations that are after it are forward scheduled. Job start and completion dates and times as well as resource and material requirement dates and times are also updated.

  8. Choose OK to save your work.
