Overlapping operations

It can happen that operation times overlap, in other words, the schedule bars of two operations over­lap in the planning board. This occurs, for example, when scheduled operations take longer than cal­culated or machine operators process other jobs on the machine earlier.

Resolving overlaps

Overlaps are resolved when you click the "Clean up Scheduler: Operation overlaps are eliminated" button (see also "Clean up Scheduler" button).

Example: The print job manager has processed a different job to the scheduled one earlier, causing an overlap with the subsequent cutting operation. Loaded operations in the set-up status are shown "half size" and with a "green-yellow" icon in the planning board. You can resolve the resulting overlap of  the "Printing" and "Cutting" operations with the "Clean up Scheduler: Operation overlaps are elim­inated " button.
