Define Scheduling Dependency Attributes for Work Task

Explanation

This activity is used to define scheduling dependency attributes between dependent work tasks within a work order. These attributes will  govern the scheduling behavior of pre-requisite activities in Planning and Scheduling Optimization when scheduling work tasks.

Prerequisites

Before defining scheduling dependency attributes, the following must have been completed:

• A minimum of two work tasks must exist within the work order.
• Dependency relationship must be defined between the work tasks.

System Effects

As a result of this activity, scheduling dependency attributes between dependent work tasks will be defined. The dependency attributes are used to control the scheduling behavior in PSO scheduling for the work tasks.
