- Running PRO-PLAN over longer time
periods (eg. Looking 48 hours ahead) will reduce the number of production rate
changes. However, this is limited by the
reliability of the mill.
-
Scheduling
over longer time periods can be achieved by stepping ahead, one
schedule period at a time.
-
Keep track of all the constraints,
breakdowns, demand changes, etc. to build a
history of operation which can be used to fine
tune the system, eg. Calculating optimal levels.
- PRO-PLAN should be run at least once per shift. A
new solution is required whenever there is a significant change in
demand or constraints.
