IBM MAS - Scheduler

[Execution] In Progress management

The operations that have the "In progress" status, are always scheduled at the beginning of the next shift. However, two improvements are proposed: 1-Using the remaining duration and rescheduling the operation equal to the duration of a predefine...

Limit maximum delay between predecessor Successor

Task A is predecessor of Task B. Therefore, with this feature the user establishes that Task B must be performed within a certain maximum time interval after the end/start of Task A.

Manage multiple qualifications

Management of resources with multiple qualifications (e.g.: mechanics able to work on A320 and A350, mechanics allowed to work on AF and AV tasks) and allow the optimiser to choose the allocation.

Critical Path calculation (dependencies + resources)

The aim of the critical path (CP) is to obtain a list of constraints (precedence, date, operation attributes...) that are critical and/or limiting in the proposed solution to evaluate the risk of having delays on them or to define which ones can b...

Provide a new predecessor-successor constraint type.

Introduce a new parameter regarding the feasibility of the dependency decleared for an operation and its predecessor. It will be marked as a YES/NOT choice. When, the dependency is "Feasible", it is mandatory to be respected (it will be treated as...

Create dependecy type to avoid tasks to be scheduled in parallel

Add a new constraint that avoids two task to be scheduled simultaneously. Tasks might be scheduled before or after but never in parallel. The constraint will be addressed as "NOTINPARALLEL".

Declaration of max duration of parent work order to improve declaration of the work order inside HSOC

Add a new kind of constraint on envelop work order to limit its duration (and the duration of its children). Needed to act on the following modules: - Add a new field in the work order view to manage the max duration Optimization - Add parameters ...

In Graphical Scheduling and Graphical Work Week, on the Graphical View tab when the Work is filtered update the row count to reflect the count of the current filter rows

e.g., work list has 300 rows with no filters, filtering by crewworkgroup reduces and displays 15 of 300

Add SKDPROJECT.SITEID and display on Graphical Work Week, Graphical Scheduling, Graphical Assignment and Graphical Resource View list to allow filtering by site to narrow down the appropriate records in SKDPROJECT for use.

For generation utilities scheduling, assignment, etc. is usually done by site. Currently there is no way to separate out Schedules, Work Lists or Resource Lists other than including a Site identifier as part of the SKDPROJECT.NAME and/or the SKDPR...
