Discusses the relationships between finite schedulers which operateon output from a higher level in a conventional MRPII system, andso-called stand-alone schedulers which essentially operate directly onorders. Presents two graphical models - a demand flow model and aflowpipe model - which help to explain the differences betweensuch schedulers and are used to illustrate the key features of each.Coupled schedulers tend to work on demand which has already beensmoothed or planned in some way and can be described as planning-led,whereas stand-alone schedulers work from unfiltered data, with theoperator reacting to schedule quality (due-date performance, resourceactivation levels, etc.) and thence adjusting resource and rerunning.Ascribes the growth of the stand-alone scheduler, at least in part, tothe greatly increased computing power available quite inexpensively onmodern equipment.
