Prioritise Work Jobs
According to a prioritisation, the work jobs can be allocated to the resources during the later operation. This is important if a resource has a malfunction and the current work job has to be reassigned. If no alternative resource is available, the work job has to be assigned to a resource which is also able to run the required process. If this resource is already used for another work job, both work jobs have to be compared. The one with the higher prioritisation will be processed and the other will be postponed. For the prioritisation, established methods like the ABC or the XYZ analysis are used. The ABC analysis is suitable to classify material elements (products) and customers into different categories. For instance, important customers or very profitable products will be assigned to class A.
