Shifts

Introduction

In Shifts section, it is possible to manage the working shifts, defined in the plant for production lines, to be used in SIM 1 board.

It is possible to download the Shift data from LDS, the structure is the same as LDS. You can define the shifts to apply to every single Line/Cell. The steps to define a Shift are:

1. Define Shift Template

2. Shift Definition. Here you define all the shifts linked to each shift template

3. Shift templates associated with every line for each day of the week

4. Shift Calendar

With that information, DLMO generates a working calendar plan for each line.

Plant Configuration - Plant Shifts - Templates

In Shift Template configuration, it is possible to:

• Define name and description of the template.

• Set the default template to be used (if not defined, DLMO uses the first in the list).

• Activate or deactivate the template.

1. Add one or more Templates by clicking the Add button.

2. Click on Edit button or double-click the selected row to edit the required fields in the pop-up menu.

3. Use the flag to activate the ongoing Shift Template.

1. Add a new Shift Template.

2. Insert Name and Description.

3. Select the Active flag to use it as default in the ongoing Shift Template.

4. Use the flag to activate the ongoing Shift Template.

Plant Configuration - Plant Shifts - Definition

In Shift Definition configuration, it is possible to define the Shifts for each Template (maximum 3 shifts per day), with Name, Description, Shift Number, Start and End Time (and also if the end time is on the same day of the start time, or on the next day). The system automatically calculates duration.

1. Add a Shift Name for each available Template.

2. Double-click on a row to edit the required fields in the popup menu.

3. Add the Time settings of each Shift start and end date.

4. Choose if the last Shift is ending the current day or not.

Plant Configuration - Plant Shifts/Line - Association

In Shift/Line Association configuration, it is possible to associate one of the existing Templates with every day of every line (so the related daily shifts), by double-clicking on every line's row.

Once associations are defined, DLMO generates the related Line Calendar for the Lines, accessible in View Only from the Shift Calendar view.

2. Double-click on a row to edit the required fields and assign a Shift Template to a Line.

4. Save the association.

It is also possible to do it en masse in the EXCEL UPDATE section, downloading the scheduling, updating it and uploading it.
