Planning according to the pull - principle (consumption) controlled for unusable parts in conjunction with repair planning 'on demand ' (on demand)

摘要

In one embodiment comprises planning of repairs, in response to demand in a multi-level - repair network the access to a predicted demand for usable of the parts at a repair location and for every examined unusable part at the location, which can be repaired is not situated at the location of: (1) planning of a movement of the part to an upstream repair location, so that the part to an estimated earliest point in time at the upstream location for the repair can be available; (2) estimating a latest that point in time at which the repair of the part on the upstream location may begin, in order to meet the predicted demand, in accordance with the predicted demand and the estimated earliest point in time, and planar a repair work on the upstream location to the estimated latest point in time and (3) reschedule of the movement according to the start time of the repair by modifying a movement - delivery time, corresponding to a start time of the repair, and modifying a movement - start time according to the modified delivery time. The newly planned - start time of movement is an estimated latest point in time at which the part to the upstream repair location for the repair can be moved in order to meet the demand forecast.
