9.6.2.13 Planning the unit allocation
Unit allocation
A dialog provides you with a complete overview of all batches and their unit allocation. Symbols
indicate whether or not there is a conflict or double allocation of the units by pending batches
or in the future. Both in processing mode and during the planning, the dialog provides
information about the allocation of batches and units.
Note
If units are selected using "The longest out of use", "Operator selection" or "Process
parameters" allocation strategies, they are not shown in the upper "Units" section. An allocation
conflict can only be clearly indicated when the "Preferred unit" allocation strategy is exclusively
used.
To select the unit allocation overview:
Select the menu command Planning > Unit allocation.
In the upper left area, you can display the units and corresponding batches. In the lower left
area, the batches are displayed at the first level and then the required units. This allows you
to optimize the unit allocation with various options. The time conflict is indicated by a red
lightning icon. Time conflicts can be eliminated in this overview dialog by simply moving the
batches in the right-hand time window.
