1)What is production scheduling profile
Production scheduling profile control the Production Order :
1) Automatic release of production order
2)automatic GR
3)Automatic batch creation during production order creation or release etc
2)What is float before production & float after production.
Since malfunctions and other disturbances in the production process can never be fully prevented, the system carries out scheduling using a float before and a float after production.
The floatbefore production has the following two functions in the order:
- It can compensate for delays in the staging of the material components.
- If there is a capacity bottleneck at the work centers involved, you can move the production dates forward in the future. In this way it serves as a float for capacity leveling.
The float after production is used in the order to compensate for unexpected interruptions in the production process. It prevents a delay of the scheduled finish.
3)what is re-order planning
In the case of Manual Reorder Point Planning (MRP Type VB), when the Plant stock & firmed receipts(firm planned order, firm purchase requisition, prod order etc) for a given material fall below reorder point, the planning for the material is triggered (a planning file entry is created). For this to happen, you would have to enter the Reorder level manually in MRP 1 view of the material master (as in the case of manual Reorder Point Planning) or the reorder point can be automatically calculated by the system (as in automatic Reorder point planning).
4))what is Replenishment lead time.
Total time for the in-house production or for the external procurement of a product. In in-house production, the replenishment lead time is determined to cover all BOM levels.
5)What is order type.
Order: Object that defines
-When, where and in which quantities which products are required or available
-Which work steps are necessary for these products and which resources are occupied by them
Order Type:
Key that differentiates orders according to their purpose. The order type contains a range of parameters which affect the way the order is processed. For example, using the order type, we can specify
-The number ranges to be used for the orders
-Which criteria are used when selecting a routing
-How the order is to be costed.
6)What is production type.
Different types of Production Type:
1) Discrete Manufacturing 2)Process Industry 3) Continuous manufacturing(Repetitive Manufacturing) 4) Engineer to order 5) Kanban
