This course is an introduction to the integration between IFS/Work Order Management and the IFS/Constraint Based Scheduling (IFS/CBS). The lessons for this course can be found under the Schedule Work Order with CBS chapter. The course is divided in to 4 lessons, and should be followed in the sequence outlined below.
In order to understand the integration you would require some technical and functional knowledge both of which are covered in this course. From a technical point of view the integration is described in terms of concepts. From a functional point of view, the course explains the basic data required to schedule a work order.
IFS/CBS can schedule work orders in three setups: standalone work orders, work order structures and work orders connected to projects.
The estimated time to complete this course is 7 hours.
The intended target audience for this course are application consultants working together with maintenance planners.
Before taking this lesson, IFS/CBS must be installed for a work order site. The installation is not covered in this lesson.
The estimated time to complete this lesson is 1 hour.
This lesson is intended for those who want to get acquainted with the overall purpose of the CBS/Work Order Integration and the different setups that are available for work order scheduling. The lesson also shows conceptually the data that are transferred from the database to the CBS Server and what is returned from the CBS Server once it has performed the scheduling activities.
Before taking this lesson, you should have completed the Using CBS in a Work Order Environment lesson.
The estimated time to complete this lesson is 2 hours.
This lesson is intended for those who want to understand what basic data is required to perform scheduling and how the solution works from a conceptual standpoint in technical terms.
Before taking this lesson, you should have completed the CBS Basic Data Definitions lesson.
The estimated time to complete this lesson is 2.5 hours.
This lesson is intended for those who want to understand what constraints are applicable when scheduling work orders with IFS/CBS. For each of the constraint types, the logic behind how IFS/CBS behaves in different situations are explained. The different types of constraints are : human resources, tools, material, dependencies within a work order, temporary resource breaks and the required start and completion dates of a work order. This lesson also explains what feedback the CBS Server will return to the work order.
Before taking this lesson, you should have completed the CBS Basic Data Definitions lesson. (Completing the Work Order Structures - Scheduling a Maintenance Order lesson is not a requirement).
The estimated time to complete this lesson is 1.5 hours.
This lesson is intended for those who want to understand how project connected work orders can be scheduled, how dependencies between work orders can be managed and how project work orders can be scheduled as a set. It also explains which data on the project is important for the scheduling process.
