Overlapping Operation Processing - APS
This topic applies only to APS.
You define overlap on an operation to represent the number of run hours
the previous operation must complete before this operation can start.
The system moves back the operation's start and end dates to reflect this
overlap. It then makes further adjustments to the operation's dates based
on the following circumstances:
- Considers that the first operation may split across breaks for
other operations (as defined in the Break
Rule for the operation) and makes the necessary adjustment.
- Ensures the second operation does not end before the first operation.
If the difference between the second operation's new start date/time
and the end of the first operation is greater than the total duration
of the second operation, the system adjusts the horizon again so the
second operation cannot finish before the first operation.
If you run the Scheduler after running APS Planning, the Scheduler performs
its overlap processing based on the same Offset value.
