Frozen horizon

The frozen horizon enables the user to define a specific period that will remain blocked while optimizing the planning. Jobs within this frozen horizon will keep their positioning and order in the planning.

A time, productive time or number of shifts (incl. current) can be entered while setting the frozen horizon. While optimizing the planning, jobs with a planned start in the set period will remain untouched.

It can optionally be set that while optimizing the planning, jobs can still be added after the last jobs, or both after the last jobs as between the other jobs in the frozen horizon.

The frozen horizon takes effect from the current point of time. However, jobs which are overdue and are still located in the past will also be taken into account in the frozen horizon.
