Line balancing with precedence constraints
When you work in line balancing with precedence constraints, Easy Plan displays error messages when you violate those constraints.
Prerequisites
You must configure Easy Plan to use precedence constraints.
You must define precedence constraints for your data.
Procedure
If you have not already done so search for and open a work package, and then navigate to the Line Balancing page.
On the Line Balancing page, perform line balancing tasks. Easy Plan displays a message when you violate a precedence constraint. Note A precedence constraint can be violated when you assign an operation between or among stations. Precedence constraints are also violated when you manually change a Find No.
Precedence constraints depend upon the mode in which you are working:
Prevention mode—Easy Plan displays a message and does not allow you to move data.
Warning mode—Easy Plan displays a message and allows you to move data.Resolve any precedence constraints and complete your line balancing.
