Abstract
A method for scheduling a production process is disclosed, wherein a production order requiring components is placed on a production schedule, the availabilities of the components, which are required for the production order, are detected by a computing unit, production orders requesting one or more of the components are classified depending on the availabilities of the corresponding components, and the production order is displayed with a first optically observable marker if the order requests a missing component and/or produces a missing component.
Claims14
A method for scheduling a production process, the method comprising the following steps:
- placing a production order requiring components on a production schedule;
- detecting availabilities of the components required for the production order with a computing unit;
- classifying production orders requesting one or more of the components depending on the availabilities of the corresponding components;
- and
- displaying the production order with a first optically observable marker if the order requests a missing component and/or produces a missing component.
