Optimum 'routing-alternate' for the appropriate Lot Size of Shop Order

We often pre-define product routings based on traditional routing operations for all lot sizes. However, what if the ERP application can select the correct routing for the defined lot size in your shop order? IFS Applications has the ability to simulate ‘Unit Cost Per Alternate’.

Now, if we can gain cost benefit via Economies Of Scale, then why not use a selection of routing alternates to cater the varying scale of your operation.

Solution: Unit Cost Per Alternate functionality

Define several Alternates in your Routing; Simulate Cost Per Unit based on the Cost Set (2); Define alternate recommendation for the varied range of lot sizes.

There is a setting in Routing window where you can define the minimum lot size and the routing alternate you want to select for that lot size.

This is under the routing lot size tab in Routings window.
