As shown on the left and right of the body, manufacturing orders are registered and scheduled as separate orders, but there are cases when a given process gets simultaneously assigned owing to processing accuracy or tinting issues. The group assignment option meets such needs. It allows grouping of multiple specified operations and assigning them so that their production start times are the same. Further, when an operation is moved, this is reflected […]

The functions of Asprova DS (DS = Data Server), making it possible to view schedules with multiple other users and input results have been strengthened, allowing multiple users to simultaneously edit schedules on a Gantt chart or Dispatching view. For example, multiple process in-charges can simultaneously edit their respective resource schedules and upload the results to Asprova DS to get them reflected to the latest schedule. Asprova SED (SED = Schedule Editor) […]

■The response to GUI operation when handling large data was improved. The program response was improved so that you can use Asprova tables, Resource Gantt charts, and other charts smoothly even when there is large amount of data. ・The time for opening tables was shortened. For example, with a project file that displays 1.6 million rows of orders in the order table, opening the table in standard style took 22.8 seconds on […]

Asprova supports many languages, and you can easily change the display language. With the feature additions in this version, you can now start Asprova in the language that you were using previously. For example, if your OS language is Japanese, the display language when you start Asprova is Japanese. But, if you change it to English, the display language when you start Asprova next time will be English. Asprova HELP -> http://lib.asprova.com/onlinehelp/en/AS2003HELP00737830.html […]

Integrated Master importing is now faster. The effect is more pronounced as the number of input instruction masters, use instruction masters, and output instruction masters increases. For example, importing the following Integrated Master took 3 hours and 30 minutes in the previous version, but this was reduced to 7 minutes in this version. Input instruction master: 500,000 items, Integrated Master: 2.48 million rows

Altering an expression in the expression dialog automatically updates the sample results. However, in the case of large data or complicated expression, the updating sometimes takes a long time. Clearing the [Auto update] check box, which was added in this version, stops the sample result updating allowing you to edit the expression more smoothly. When you finish altering the expression, you can click [Update] to update the sample results. Asprova HELP -> […]

Filter conditions can now be directly set in filter commands. Scheduling time can be reduced by filtering in several steps. If you want to filter manufacturing orders of item A that are not pegged to receive orders, we could use && to combine conditions as in ME.Item == ‘A’&&ME.’Order type’==’Manufacturing order’&&SumIF (ME.’Rightmost orders’,TARGET.’Order type’=’Sales order’,1)==0 and filter using a single order filter. But instead, we can separate conditions in the following manner […]

■Improved message window Error locations are now easier to find When the scheduling parameters are executed, messages are output in the same hierarchical structure as the scheduling parameters. Moreover, if errors, such as improper assignment within the schedule period, occur when the scheduling parameters are executed, the number of errors and the number of warnings are added in text form to the messages issued while the scheduling parameters are executed, and if […]
