P200 FCS

Preactor 200 FCS is the first of the FCS solutions that is capable of being tightly integrated with other packages as well as Preactor Viewers. An event based messaging system can be used to pass data between applications.

Orders can have a ‘Delivery Buffer’ that can be either customer or product specific. This time period can offset the due date reference when an order is backward sequenced and provides a warning when operations are scheduled within the buffer. Operations within an order can overlap or split. Operations can be locked so that they will not be scheduled automatically.

Whereas in Preactor 100 FCS there is only one type of resource, in Preactor 200 FCS additional resources can be defined. These resources are modeled as having infinite capacity in Preactor 200 FCS and the usage is displayed. These plots are shown in a muti-plot window that not only shows secondary resource usage but also capacity utilization by period for primary and secondary resources.

The run speed of each resource within a resource group (workcenter) for a specific operations step for a product can be defined and setup times can be made sequence dependent rather than fixed.

There is a ‘Schedule Repair’ feature that automatically moves operations into the correct sequence after updates have been entered.
