Plan with production orders – automatic positioning of the orders
Precondition: For one machine, production orders are sequentially planned over time.
Purpose: To maintain the plan with production orders for the machine one after the other. In case of changes in the duration of the planned order, those after it are automatically rearranged.
In case of changes in the orders in ERP as re-planning, the changes are reflected in the plan as order duration changes and the next orders will be automatically rearranged.
When checking downtime for the machine in the ERP and shifting the current order with the duration of downtime the next orders are automatically rearranged. Only started or closed orders are not moved.
Automatic positioning of the orders for machine is possible after the following actions:
- Manual changes of the order
- Re-planning the operation in the ERP
- Logs for produced details in the ERP
- Logs for downtime in the ERP
Automatic positioning of the orders after manual changes to orders
Precondition: For one machine, production orders are sequentially planned over time.
Purpose: In case of manual changes in one planned order, such as duration, the next orders after it with the status Planned or Overdue (but not started) are automatically rearranged one after the other.
We open the first order with a double click. The Change Production Order form is displayed. Increase the duration of the order and click Save and then Plan in schedule.
- The duration of the first order is increased
- The orders after it with the status Planned or Overdue (but not started) are automatically moved and rearranged in the plan.

Automatic positioning of the orders after re-planning the operations in the ERP
Precondition: For one machine, production orders are sequentially planned over time.
Purpose: After re-planning the operation in the ERP, in the plan the duration of the corresponding production order is updated according to duration in the ERP. After it, all planned or overdue (but not started) orders are automatically rearranged in sequence.
After rescheduling the operation in the ERP, the planned times are synchronized in Upkip.
If the operation is planned for a machine as a production order, it is updated in the plan with the new duration from the ERP.
The planned or overdue (but not started) orders after the changed one are automatically rearranged in the plan with production orders.
The Started or Completed orders are not changed in the plan.
Automatic positioning of the orders after logs for produced details in the ERP
Precondition: For one machine, production orders are sequentially planned over time.
Purpose: In the production order plan, when an order has been completed, to show the actual duration of the order. After that, all planned or overdue (but not started) orders are automatically rearranged in sequence.
The actual start of a production order is determined from the time of the first log of manufactured parts in the EPR.
The end time of a production order is determined by the end time of the actual log for manufactured parts in the ERP when progress is 100%.
The completed order in the plan is presented with the actual duration of the work.
After that, all planned or overdue (but not started) orders are automatically rearranged in the production order plan.
The Started or Completed orders are not changed in the plan.
Automatic positioning of the orders after logs for downtime in the ERP
Precondition: For one machine, production orders are sequentially planned over time.
Purpose: In the production order plan to show the periods of downtime of the machine, which are determined by the checked start and end in the ERP. The duration of the order should be shown in the plan, excluding the periods of downtime.
When the end of a production order is moved due to downtime, the next planned or overdue (but not started) orders are automatically rearranged.
The actual start of a production order is determined from the moment of the first log of manufactured parts in the EPR.
During machine downtime, the ERP checks are made for the start and end of the downtime. The downtimes are automatically imported into Upkip with their reasons.
In the production order plan, the downtime is visualized with different color. On mouse over the drown downtime in the plan, the tooltip with downtime reason is displayed.
Planned Capacity
Precondition: There is created plan with production orders for machines.
Purpose: The planned capacity of machines per days show the percentage how much of the machine’s available hours are busy with production orders:
The planned capacity page shows:

Under the graphics is shown a table as a heat map.
- Horizontally - dates from the selected period and vertically the list of selected machines.
- Each cell has a gradient color showing machine capacity per day. The colors are from light green (small capacity) to dark green (90%-100% capacity) or dark red (greater than 100%).
- With the mouse over the cells is shown tooltip with information (5) – available hours, planned hours, capacity, and number of orders.
Calculation of planned capacity for machine:
Machine planned hours per day are equal to the sum of production orders duration planned on the machine per day. (see Planning production orders)
Machine.PlannedHoursPerDay += OrdersDurationOnManiche[i]
Machine available hours per day are taken from the shift calendar assigned to the machine. (see Machine calendars)
Machine.AvailableHoursPerDay = MachineWorkinghoursDurationPerDay
MachinePlannedCapacity [%]= MachinePlannedHoursPerDay / MachineAvailableHoursPerDay
To show the summary capacity percentage of the selected machines check Group machines.
- For each day from the select period is shown one bar with a summary capacity percentage per day.
Figure 47: Planned capacity for group of machines per day
Calculation of Summary capacity percentage per day.
- AllPlannedHoursPerDay += Machine[i].PlannedHoursPerDay
- AllAvailablehoursPerDay += Machine[i].AvailableHoursPerDay
SummaryMachinesCapacityPerDay [%] = AllPlannedHoursPerDay / AllAvailablehoursPerDay
Move to the next or previous days with the period filter.
