Exempt Labor
Explanation
Use this activity to exempt labor from the Manufacturing Scheduling and Optimization (MSO)
scheduling service. When labor is exempted, no labor-related data will be sent to the IFS Planning
Scheduling and Optimization (PSO) scheduling engine. As a result, labor will not be a scheduling
constraint when operations are finitely scheduled.
Prerequisites
- MSO solution uses IFS Planning Scheduling and Optimization (PSO) solution based tenant as
its scheduling service. Therefore, it is mandatory to have a configured PSO scheduling server in the backend to
execute this activity.
- Site must be defined, and the User is allowed to use any authorized manufacturing Site which is required to
reschedule considering finite constraints.
- Site should be disabled on Finite Schedule Basic Data page to enable this
option.
System Effects
- Shop orders will be finitely scheduled without considering the labor constraints of the site instead, only
work centers and tools will be considered as scheduling constraints.
- When labor is exempted, no labor related information will be available on Smart Manufacturing
Planning Board page.
