You use this program to generate a detailed report indicating the suggested workload for each work center over a specified period of time. The data files used to produce this report are held within the snapshot directory (i.e. not the live data files). If no snapshop files exist then you are prompted to run the Requirements Calculation program.
The report provides supervisors with a prioritized list of work to be performed in each work center for each day, and functions as a work-to-list by indicating the sequence in which tasks should be performed in order to achieve the plan.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Report sequence | This lets you choose the sequence in which you want to
generate the report. Sequences include:
|
| Operation selection | |
| Completion overdue by today | This prints overdue incomplete operations, regardless of whether they have been started as at the run date. |
| Start overdue by today | This prints all operations that have not yet been started (i.e. no labor transactions have been posted) but which have a planned start date prior to the run date. |
| Started late and not completed | This prints all operations that were started late and which have not yet been completed as at the run date. |
| Active | This lists operations that are active within the range of dates specified. An operation becomes active as soon as the job is started. |
| Completed | This lists operations that were completed within the range of dates specified. |
| Planned for queue | This lists operations that are planned for queue within the range of dates specified (the letter Q is printed in the status column). |
| Jobs on hold | This lets you include/exclude or only include jobs on hold. |
| Unconfirmed jobs | This lets you include/exclude or only include unconfirmed jobs. |
| Print options | |
| No. of narration lines (1-60) | Indicate the number of narration lines you want to print for operations. |

| New page per operation | This prints each operation on a new page. You cannot select this option as well as the Subtotal each day or New page per day options. |
| New page per day | This prints the information for each new day on a new
page. You can only access this option if printing the report in Op start date, job priority, job or Op finish date, job priority, job sequence. You cannot select this option together with the New page per operation option. |
| Subtotal each day | This calculates and prints the total of all outstanding
times for each operation per day. If the operation is past due, then the total per day is not printed. Instead, all times for overdue operations are summed into a single value (regardless of date) and printed against the Subtotal - Overdue entry. In addition, future operations are grouped and subtotalled by date. You can only access this option if printing the report in Op start date, job priority, job or Op finish date, job priority, job sequence. You cannot select this option together with the New page per operation option. |

Otherwise quantities are printed in the stocking unit of measure. |
