Eliminating TST based on receiving hours
Receiving down time can be used to absorb TST
When your Receiving Hours are less than 24h, you can use Closing Hours to eliminate or reduce the TST by changing the Arrival Time.
TST <= Closing Hours
If your TST is shorter than your Closing Hours, you can schedule your Arrival Time during your Closing Hours. You just need to have at least the value of your TST between your Arrival Time and the opening of your Receiving.
TST > Closing Hours
In this case your TST can be only reduced by the value of your Closing Hours. Like in the previous case, you just need to have at least the value of your initial TST between your Arrival Time and the opening of your Receiving.
Conclusions
- In the first case, your TST is eliminated so your loop and your inventory are reduced by the value of your initial TST.
- In the second case, your TST is reduced by your Closing Hours, so your loop and your inventory are reduced by the value of your initial TST minus Closing Hours.
Do not forget that closing Receiving when Production is running increases inventory (you need to protect your line during your closing hours).
