line. But if the system encounters a scheduling conflict and reschedules
due dates, these dates will not take into account the new lead time.
There are two ways to avoid this.
• Assign due dates manually and then monitor the line schedule to see
if any due dates following a changeover have been automatically
rescheduled.
• Increase the changeover time to reflect the increased lead time
between two products. This way the changeover time reflects the total
time a line is disrupted between model changes.
Deleting Sequence Records
Delete records from the workbench in three ways.
• Select a sequence record by pressing Enter, then the delete key (F5).
• Mark one or more records for deletion using the delete key, then
process them using Go.
• Reverse the original production quantity by entering a negative value.
For example, enter a quantity of –2000 for a production quantity of
2000. The system deletes all of the scheduled quantities and dates
created by that entry.
Reviewing Line Schedules
Use Line Utilization Report (18.22.1.15) to review the results generated
by the workbench. This report provides information for evaluating the
load placed by a line schedule on a production line if it replaced the
existing repetitive schedule. It also shows the changeover load between
shifts, when appropriate.
