Specify the production day

All the reports except Utilization Analysis, Utilization by Entity, and Utilization Waterfall use the Reports system parameters. These parameters define when the 24 hours of the production day starts. The Reports system parameters are set in MES Client.

The shift history dimension uses the Reports system parameter to set the production day for each shift record, which is then used by the reports to filter or group data by production day. Therefore, shifts must be defined within MES for the production day filtering to function.

The Utilization Analysis and Utilization by Entity reports use the utilization event time and calendar day to determine what records to include and calculate time during the day when an event crosses a day boundary. The Utilization Waterfall report uses the provided start and end times and does not have options for time periods of current day, previous day, etc.

Note: Any time you change the production day, the model must be redeployed. See Modify and redeploy the model.

Production Day Start

The possible values are:

• ShiftStart

  The production day starts with the first shift that starts in the day. For example, if the first shift that starts in the day starts at 08:00:00, then the production day starts at 08:00:00 of the current calendar day and ends at 07:59:59 of the next calendar day. If the current calendar day is December 1, then the production day would be from December 1 at 08:00:00 to December 2 at 07:59:59.

• ShiftEnd

  The production day ends with the last shift that ends in the day. For example, if the last shift that ends in the day ends at 23:00:00, then the production day starts at 23:00:00 of the previous calendar day and ends at 22:59:59 of the current calendar day. If the current calendar day is December 1, then the production day would be from November 30 at 23:00:00 to December 1 at 22:59:59.

• TimeOfDay

  The production day starts with the first shift that occurs after the cut-off time specified by the Production Day Start (Hours) the Production Day Start (Minutes) parameters. For example, if the cut-off time is defined to be 06:00:00 and the first shift that starts after that time starts at 07:00:00, then the production day starts at 07:00:00 of the current calendar day and ends at 06:59:59 of the next calendar day. If the current calendar day is December 1, then the production day would be from December 1 at 07:00:00 to December 2 at 06:59:59.

  When TimeOfDay is selected as the Production Day Start parameter, the values from the Production Day Start (Hour) and Production Day Start (Minute) parameters will be used as the cut-off time.

Production Day Start (Hours)

If the Production Day Start parameter is set to Time of Day, specifies the hour portion of the cut-off time for the production day. The valid range of values is 0 (the default) to 23.

Production Day Start (Minutes)

If the Production Day Start parameter is set to Time of Day, specifies the minute portion of the cut-off time for the production day. The valid range of values is 0 (the default) to 59.
