SAIL - Scheduling and Allocation System
Features/Screens
Part Route Definition
The part route definition contains a list of part numbers, pallets, estimated cycle times, machine / station assignments, and efficiency levels. This defines the specific capacity allocation or play to use in generating the schedule.
Machine Assignments
Machines are assigned to parts based on demand and qualified paths. Alternative allocations can be reviewed for capacity.
Production Demand Schedule
SAIL keeps track of start and end time of shifts, number of shifts per day, and operating days per week. Scheduling can be generated for one day, one week, or an entire month. Planned downtimes are allowed for each machine. The production demand quantities are imported or entered to correspond to the scheduling period. Priorities can be set using start and end dates and daily run quantities.
Review Schedule / Check Capacity
The proposed schedule and machine burden is available for review. Alternative capacity allocations, part priorities, machine assignments, pallet assignments, and number of active pallets can be reviewed prior to generating the schedule.
Generate Schedule and Instruction Download
Generating the schedule "hands off" the plan to operations. The monitoring reports are updated with the plan, and instructions needed to execute the plan are created.
