Hello,
we have one operation which produce continously.
today is repetitive manufacturing, so there is no problem as we confirm against the material. Now, we are implementing discrete and someone the confirmed quantity need to be in reference to a specific production order.
As the machine is producing continously, somehow the production orders should be confirmed in sequence. Means as soon as one is finished then the next one starts. But so simple is it not.
We produce parts which goes into a box. the production order produce 5 box (planned). Now we have scrap but the box will be filled up completly because we can not take it out without beeing full. It means, the last box was filled up with the next upcming production order. In this case we have produce more and in the upcoming order we have produce less.
How to manage this situation. is it ok to overbook a production order and the next production order will be confirmed with less??
thank you!!
Hello
Why do you need to switch to discrete manufacturing? It really looks like your process is repetitive and it would be easier to address the scrap in repetitive manufacturing.
If you still want to use production orders, you need to define a scrap percentage in the material master, so that the system plans for an additional quantity for each order. Of course that this scrap percentage will not be 100% accurate, as you cannot predict exactly how much scrap you will have in each order, but at the end of the day the quantity should be accurate.
