Gantt Production Status

The function is a graphic representation of the status of a production tasks' fulfilment. According to the selected option in the Display field, it enables to graphically display:

• Percentage Complete: displays the chart according to the Completion (%) field;
• Time Spent: displays the chart according to the Time Spent (%) field;
• Scheduled Dates: displays the chart with regard to the time implementation of operations.

This is a specific form of the Gantt chart. The chart is available in the following ways:

• on the 8 - Gantt Production Status tab in the Production Orders;
• on the 8 - Gantt Production Status in Job Cards: it displays the current Job Card;
• by Ctrl+F8 keys on page 0 in Job Cards: it displays the production tree down from the current Job Card;
• by Ctrl+F8 keys on page 0 in Sales Orders and Reserving Cards.

Chart Specification

• The 'X' dimension of the chart:
  • The 'Percentage Complete' and 'Time Spent' chart type: the dimension is not a time one, but a 'minute' one, and it is not shown. It means that a chart does not display the requirements and their fulfillment with respect to the scheduling in time, but only to their duration.
  • The 'Scheduled Dates' chart type: a time dimension is displayed, the line segments are displayed according to the dates of incorporating the operations.
• The 'Y' dimension displays the individual time intervals (elements).
• The elements in the current form of the chart are: physical - operations, summation - Job Cards.
• Elements create a tree structure, physical elements are interconnected by connecting lines.
• The scheduled duration is defined by all times of the operation.
• The length of summation elements is only the sum of times of the subordinate elements.
• The summation elements are displayed above the physical elements and are represented by a different colour.
• Each element consists of two coloured parts: a plan and a completed fact. In the case of the 'Time Spent' chart type, a third coloured part may appear, which represents the surplus of the actual time over the planned time.
• Colours:
  • physical elements (operations): plan = light green; completed fact = dark green; in the case of the 'Time Spent' chart type, the time spent over the value of the planned time = dark red;
  • summation elements (Job Cards): plan = light blue; completed fact = dark blue; in the case of the 'Time Spent' chart type, the time spent over the value of the planned time = dark red;
• A numeric information with a value in percentage is displayed for each element.
• The individual elements smoothly follow one another within the tree structure, no time gaps arise among them (simulation of an optimization run when planning a Job Card tree) - this applies for the 'Percentage Completed' and 'Time Spent' chart types.

A chart can be exported to the PDF or BMP format. The Chart Export function is available through the right-click menu over the chart.
