There are many ways to expand and compress a work order along the timeline.
Priority Priority can influence transit time and utilization.
Transit Time |--- Transfer time --| |-- Plan time --| |--- Idle time ---|
You can specify the % of transit time to be considered. For example, if you input 50%, the transit time is compressed to 50% and the lead time reduced accordingly.
Utilization You can use the utilization to specify the % to which an order can be dispatched to a resource.
Expansion / compression by resource allocation
The priority always refers to the overall production order. If only one operation should be expanded, the "Resource Allocation" option is available. This value can be specified in % or number of machines/persons per resource.
