The precedence diagram method (PDM) is a tool for scheduling activities in a project plan. It is a method of constructing a project schedule network diagram that uses boxes, referred to as nodes, to represent activities and connects them with arrows that show the dependencies. It is also called the activity-on-node (AON) method.
Forward scheduling is planning the tasks from the date resources become available to determine the shipping date or the due date. Backward scheduling is planning the tasks from the due date or required-by date to determine the start date and/or any changes in capacity required. The benefits of production scheduling include:
A Gantt chart showing three kinds of schedule dependencies (in red) and percent complete indications. Henry Gantt, inventor of the Gantt chart. A Gantt chart is a bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. [1] It was designed and popularized by Henry Gantt around the years 1910–1915.
Specific names for the linear scheduling method have been adopted, such as: [1] Location-based scheduling (the preferred term in the book) Harmonograms; Line-of-balance; Flowline or flow line; Repetitive scheduling method; Vertical production method; Time-location matrix model; Time space scheduling method; Disturbance scheduling
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS.It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
Typical examples include job scheduling in manufacturing and data delivery scheduling in data processing networks. [1] In manufacturing environment, inventory management considers both tardiness and earliness undesirable. Tardiness involves backlog issues such as customer compensation for delays and loss of goodwill.
The MPS is a statement of what the company expects to produce and purchase (i.e. quantity to be produced, staffing levels, dates, available to promise, projected balance). [1] [3] The MPS translates the customer demand (sales orders, PIR’s), into a build plan using planned orders in a true component scheduling environment.
Note that use the schedulability test formula under deadline as period. When deadline is less than period, things are different. Here is an example: The four periodic tasks needs scheduling, where each task is depicted as TaskNo( computation time, relative deadline, period). They are T0(5,13,20), T1(3,7,11), T2(4,6,10) and T3(1,1,20).
