Compare short-term scheduling at process-focused, repetitive, and product-focused facilities
What will be an ideal response?
Process-focused: 1. Scheduling to customer orders where changes in both volume and variety of jobs/clients/patients are frequent. 2. Schedules are often due-date focused, with loading refined by finite loading techniques.
Repetitive: 1. Schedule module production and product assembly based on frequent forecasts. 2. Finite loading with a focus on generating a forward-looking schedule. 3 . JIT techniques are used to schedule components that feed the assembly line.
Product-focused: 1. Schedule with high-volume finished products of limited variety to meet a reasonably stable demand within existing fixed capacity. 2. Finite loading with a focus on generating a forward-looking schedule that can meet known setup and run times for the limited range of products.
