This activity is used to define the different default time frames used by the Advanced Planning Board (APB) when scheduling operations for a site. You also need to define the adjustment factor to be used in priority adjustment calculation formula if you want shop order prioritization in APB scheduling. Additionally the default sequencing horizon has to be defined as well.
By specifying a transport calendar you can exclude non-working days when calculating the transport time. The transportation calendar takes effect only when shop order operations are scheduled and when the preceding operation or operations have a defined transportation time. Setup optimization during the scheduling can be achieved if you use setup optimization.
This activity requires that the Advanced Planning Board must be enabled for the site.
As a result of this activity, the values you specify are used by the Advanced Planning Board to schedule operations.
