Custom sequencing
Custom sequencing allows the user to take total control of the scheduling activity. This
can take the form of a specialized simulation approach or may involve the use of
optimization routines or searches to develop the entire schedule. FactoryTalk Scheduler
provides an extensive list of objects that can be utilized to query the schedule status,
search unscheduled operations, and so forth.
Summary
In this chapter, we provided a brief overview of the various methods available for
schedule construction and the rules that add the desired flexibility and control to the
scheduling process. As we move into Chapter 6, we’ll begin to use FactoryTalk Scheduler
to apply these concepts through our tutorial system.
