Re-evaluate target
Re-evaluate target refers to the process of revising production targets that were
previously set for a specific manufacturing operation. It is driven by various factors
like:
-
Non availability of resources such as raw materials or manufacturing equipment.
-
Unexpected operational issues such as equipment breakdown.
-
Change in quality standards.
During the above or any other unforeseen situations, when the operation stops, the system can re-evaluate targets for the upcoming operations. This is possible only when all the operations have the same target quantity and have a stop-to-start relationship.
For example, if there are three operations that are linked with start-to-finish relations
and have a set target to make 10 quantities of each product A, B, and C, respectively.
Product A and B are intermediate products of the final product C.
| Operations | Quantity | Product |
|---|---|---|
| Operation 1 | 10 | A |
| Operation 2 | 10 | B |
| Operation 3 | 10 | C |
If the re-evaluate target option is enabled and, due to an unforeseen situation, Operation 1 stops functioning after making six copies of product A, the targets of operations 2 and 3 will be re-evaluated and reflected on the data pane.
| Operations | Quantity | Product |
|---|---|---|
| Operation 1 | 6/10 | A |
| Operation 2 | 0/6 | B |
| Operation 3 | 0/6 | C |
