Machines with different Capacities in a production order

Former Member — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 10:39:13 GMT

i am have the Machines of Different Capacities( Ex Machine A :2pcs/hr & Machine B:4 Pcs Hr).

i have Maintained the Work centers as Same Name.

In actaual Production i want to use both the Machines.

How to maintain in the Routing .This is only one Operation and i want to use both the Machine.

Ex :Prod Order Qty :100

I want to use Machine A to manufacture the 60 Qty and use the Machine B for 40 Qty.

Please give me the Solution

Hi,

In routing for that operation make parallel operations assign both work center parallely. Devide qty as per requirement to each work center.

WE CANNOT CREATE THE WORK CENTER WITH THE SAME NAME. PLS CHECK IT FIRST

I THINK YOU MAINTAIN THE TWO M/C IN THE SAME WORK CENTER WITH NO OF INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AS 2.

IT NOT ADVISABLE TO MAINTAIN THE 2 M/C WHICH HAVING THE 2 DIFFER CAPACITY UNDER THE SAME W.C

PLS MAINTAIN THE TWO W.C

IF YOU WANT TO USE THE M/C FOR PRODUCTION IN ROUTING

GIVE THE PARALLEL SEQUENCE.

Hi Laks,

Its better to do parallel sequence , goto CA01 and while creating routing , create parallel sequence also

Thanks

Dear laks,

I think this will help. If you have maintained individual capacity as 2 for eg, for machine oriented capacity category then pl maintain the individual capacity details for those 2 nos. You can give the individual capacities what ever name u like for eg Punch press 10ton, Punch Press 20 ton etc.

Note: you can access the individual capacities in the menu bar "goto - Individual capacities" of the relevant capacity category.

Once you have maintained this, you can assign these individual capacities in your production order. You have to enter into the production order operations, double clik on the operation number which has got this WC, then enter into Cap. req assignement tab. There u can enter the individual capacities detail and assign the quantities for the individual capacities as well. Also, the capacites will be split and despatched as well.

During the confirmation process, in CO11n, you have to mention the split number as well other than your confirmation / order number. The system will validate this quantities with the production order capacities split qty.

Regarding parallel routing, i think this will only work if you have two different work centers.

If the scenarios is always like this, i think it would be preferable to create two diff work centres and like the other members of the forum have suggested, a parallel routing would be ideal.
