2: Production Scheduling



The data is all in the database, so the user will normally go straight to the "Run" option.


During scheduling, a window appears to say that scheduling activity is in progress. The user can abort at any time.


A successful result is reported to the user.


The results are written to a text file. This contains Team/Style allocations and the time intervals. This can be printed out on any windows compatible printer.

Having entered the team and style data, we can now move to the Decision Support System (DSS) to allocate operators to specific tasks.
