operation split between multiple work centers

[#1]

Dears,

customer requirement is to split the operation quantity between multiple work centers during dispatching.

e.g: the plant has 2 mixers one to process 600 kg in 1 hr while the other is to process 300 kg in 1 hr.

so, if an order with Quantity 900 kg it will be splitted between mixer1 (600 kg) & mixer 2 (300 kg).

the two mixers will have different formulas thus can't be maintained as individual capacities.

So, can we split order quantity between multiple work centers (& without formation of a child order split)

or, if I'll use individual capacity , can I incorporate a parameter that is individual capacity related in the formula for capacity & scheduling.

Hi Moustafa,

You need to follow the way:-

1. Create two work center. A. 600KG/Hr B 300KG/Hr.

2. Create two routing for MIX one with work center 600KG/Hr and second with work center 300KG/Hr.

3. Create two production version with different routings.

4. Maintain Quota arrangement Usage in Material master MRP 2 view.

5. Maintain Quota arrangement for this material in MEQ1.

Thanks

Regarding quota arrangement..

will it allow me to use the 2 work centers together  for this operation in the same production order?

Hi Moustafa,

Sorry. It would not allow you to use the 2 work centers together for this operation in the same production order?

My question to you is :

How did you maintain the routings you told both Process is same for both work center?

As you told capacity is the difference in both of the work centers.

You need to go with two different production orders to use both work centers.

Thanks
