Sequence manually

Path: Production > Sequencing Sequence manually when you need to adjust a few orders or operations without creating a production plan. Changes to target dates directly affect pending shop floor work.

​

Choose the level of work

The Production sequencing screen offers three tabs:

​

Orders

Use Orders to review all open MOs. Sort by required or target date and change each order’s target date when you need to change its priority.

​

Sort the list

• Required date: sorts by the date when the MO must be completed.
• Target date: sorts by the internal date planned to execute shop floor work.

​

Adjust the target date

The list shows each MO’s calculated priority. Change its target date to bring it forward or delay it. Bold shows an alert if the new date is after the required date.

​

Operations

Use Operations for physical tasks such as cutting, milling, or painting. Select an area or workstation and filter by tool if needed.

• Adjust an operation’s target date when its priority should differ from the rest of the MO.
• Group operations when they should run together at the same workstation.
• Filter by tool to prepare consecutive operations sharing a mold, fixture, or setup.

​

Plans

Use Plans to calculate a complete sequence, review restrictions, and adjust the result in a diagram before applying it.
