I'm not sure exactly how you want to use and setup vantage but some of the
choices are:
To make every piece of equipment a workcenter or use machines and work
centers or both.
Create Jobs from the part file or directly from quotes or both.
What operation rates are you going to use fixed hours, pieces per hour,
etc....
What are the work center settings such as number of machines, Hrs per day,
machines per operation, move and queue times?
Example:
In a training database, Before your class try to create a part in the part
file, add some operations, keep it simple such as using 8 setup hours and 8
fixed run hours per operation. Set the work centers for 1 machine, 8 hours,
and 1 machine per operation. Create a job then copy the part routing to it.
Back schedule and look at the results in job tracker and on the schedule
board for each work center. Next add in MOVE and QUEUE times on the work
centers of 16 hours and 32 hours. Back schedule and review again. Change the
crew size for production or setup then do the process again. This is the
basic mechanics for scheduling, from this base calculation you will simply
add more calculations such and changing from fixed hours to pieces per hour,
scrap, etc...
From there you will look at rearranging the schedule with finite scheduling,
load leveling, what if scheduling or advanced scheduling. Also the fields
for costing for jobs and quotes but save that for the costing class.
If you grasp the basic calculations for forward and backward scheduling you
should be well ahead of the curve for your class.

Yes and Yes, anything in particular your concerned about? We went live on it
in 1997 and replaced a magnetic schedule board along with some paper
bulletin board style scheduling boards. Now we schedule with the scheduling
board exclusively and monitor with shop load reports.

Does anyone out there use the scheduling module? Have you had any success
with it?
Thanks,
