About this guide¶

This guide describes how the DSE can be used to schedule work that is to be carried out over a long period of time, or with a high volume of activities. This could be:

• Cyclic scheduling: setting up patterns of work for activities that need to be repeated on a regular basis, e.g. planned maintenance activities.
• Distributed scheduling: allows a combination of dynamic scheduling over a shorter window, with static scheduling over a longer window, with multiple child datasets produced for viewing purposes.
• Incremental scheduling: setting up pools of activities in a defined order, such that each pool can be processed independently before moving on to scheduling the next pool. For example, scheduling the steps for the decommissioning of a machine before scheduling maintenance on it.
