This test verifies theĀ behaviourĀ of date effective flows:
- case 1: effectivity on consuming flows of a delivery operation
This scenario models a situation where an old product is being replaced by a new version starting from a certain date. - case 2: date-effective material consumption with constrained supply
The supply of date effective component A is constrained. Extra supply arrives only after the end of the effectivity of the component. This extra supply is ignored since the flow is not effective any more at that time. - case 3: date-effective producing flow
This scenario models a so-called learning curve: the production of a new product becomes more efficient as time progresses.
The operation “3. make end item” produces a variable number of units of the end item. In january it produces 0.7 units, in februari it produces 0.8 units and from then onwards it produces 1.0 units.
