I'm Jason, I'm a software developer here at Steelhead and I'll be walking you through capacity planning and scheduling so I'll start you off on the more complicated of the two subjects schedules in the schedules tab we can see all the different schedules that we have for our plant in this test domain here we only have one so investigating that further we can see that this page has broken down at mostly two tables this first table here on top is the schedule boards so
these are the schedules for multiple stations so say if you have these tasks that typically go through a series of stations these schedule boards are extremely useful in visualizing workflow making sure that these tasks don't get scheduled for that all that the start time for these tasks are very possible to make so you're not scheduling the same task or two different treatments around the same time where it's actually possible but if instead you want to go on schedule for a particular station say
the 71 you are given that option to but let's delve into a little bit more complicated here the schedule board so here are all the different stations that are in the schedule board and this is the so in order to see the particular unscheduled tasks for the station you just go and go and click down here and see all these tasks so there are several different ways you can schedule in Steelhead one is intentionally setting a specific time saying Hey I want this task to start now or start at that that
particular instance or if instead you don't really care when exactly this starts but you want this task to start after or before a different task we have this Auto scheduling feature here so let's start off with the intentional schedule task saying hey we want this scheduled for say 6:00 a.m.
go intentionally schedule that and now at 6:00 a.m. that is scheduled but say the rest we don't care about just go and schedule this schedule this and say okay well that's actually want to change that order up now save this all right we like the way the schedule is going let's throw in a lunch iut schedule that this gives us that feature sa If instead we want this to be number one we just go and click that exclamation mark there but we are gr greeted with this warning saying we cannot schedule this
because this task is scheduled for that particular time elsewhere so if instead we Autos schedule that that is an open time slot for this particular task so that is now able to be scheduled this is just a general overview if you want to schedule after a particular date we were given that option just shows the current time this gives different coloring formats for visualizing work there's a whole lot more features here but we're going to have to move on to capacity planning so capacity planning is
just the a look ahead for the work coming in to make sure that you're not being overloaded like particular treatment treatment group or station isn't getting too much work at one one time and that particular treatments are actually indeed getting work at all you can see which which are more popular than others so in this capacity planning page we can see a series of buttons here and a table so this table is essentially the amount of work that's coming in starting with overdue going up to 7 days
out but if instead we want to have a further view see further ahead in time we can go and see all the work scheduled up to 8 weeks out if we want to have a little more granular detail on the level of work me making sure that a particular treatment is not getting overworked or a particular station we can this views different groupings of work so if we don't really care about the work work separately but just the batches coming in we can this is the agre aggregate total sum amount of work to date
currently and this is the amount of work at that particular time here we can just a filter of all the work coming in or all the work that just doesn't have a predefined path through station and this is a unit change so if we want to change the units to part counts can so now we're looking at the current part counts by treatments if we're also curious on what makes up this number all we need to do is just click that cell scroll on down and we are agreed with this table this has also a lot of other
functionality where we can change in real time information like rart rack to that treatment time you want to Ed a route so on and so forth so that's just the general overview of scheduling and capacity planning and steel at I appreciate your time for watching and have a good day
