[Weekly Topic] Things related to production scheduling
Thread Content
Regarding production scheduling, everyone is welcome to actively discuss it. 1. How is the duty scheduling arranged in your company? For example, a duty shift supervisor and a dispatcher. 2. The two units are in an upstream-downstream relationship, meaning that the material output from one unit serves as the raw material input for the other unit. When there are large fluctuations in the flow rate of the output material, which causes significant variations in the liquid level of the feed buffer tank in the downstream unit, is it the two units themselves that communicate directly, or is it through the shift supervisor? When a conflict arises between two units, how should the on-duty dispatcher handle it in the most appropriate manner?
Safety comes first, but generally it depends on the individual’s preferences in terms of scheduling, and that’s inevitable
Through contact with the dispatch chief, who has a recorded phone line, the contents of the discussions are documented. The internal communication between the two departments takes the form of private negotiation and mediation; in the event of an accident or violation of the production management regulations regarding scheduling, any fluctuations in the equipment will trigger subsequent interlock reactions. Any issues should be reported and communicated promptly, so that relevant units can be alerted in time to make adjustments. A small change can have a big impact; communication between the two departments is different from overall coordination and control. It’s correct to turn to the coordinator when there are issues.
