Assembly Constraints.  The Bill-of-Material product structure is an invaluable tool that shows how parts assemble to make a final finished product. JobTime^®5 assures that parts are not scheduled until feeder work orders are finished.  JobTime^®5  creates schedules that can be actually be followed on the shop floor. The in-house assembly of internally fabricated items depends on logically scheduling the supporting make components.  This feature provides timely scheduling of internal make items, to assure the smooth assembly of higher items.
