Hatching time
Slack time is a term from production planning and control (PPS) that describes the remaining time of an order . This is the time from the current processing time to the target finish date, minus the remaining processing times .
In the event of disruptions in production , the slack time is used to help determine the order priority. But even in trouble-free production, the order priority is often set according to urgency , that is: slack time.
The slip time of an order is determined as follows:
Liefertermin - Termin der Prioritätsfestlegung - verbleibende Durchlaufzeit = Schlupfzeit Beispiel (ausgehend vom 1. Januar): 20. Januar: Liefertermin - 10. Januar: Termin der Prioritätsfestlegung (heute) - 4 Tage verbleibende Durchlaufzeit → 20 - 10 - 4 = 6 Tage Schlupfzeit
The slip time becomes negative if the delivery date can no longer be achieved according to plan.
