Hi All,

 

I have a resource that is working on both Shop Orders (Production) and Work Orders (Field Service Engineer).

Case:

  • a field service engineer that has no immediate work orders will jump in and help the production guys. We want to be able to schedule this.
  • A Production resource is required to go on-site to a customer because of his specific expertise and will need to be assigned to a work order

Shop Order planning is done through Advanced Planning Board.

Work Order planning is done with Allocate Resource and Resource Monitoring Gantt.

 

Problem:

On APB, I can see my production resource/Field service engineer but I do not see when he is assigned to a Work Order(s).

On allocate Resource: I can see my production resource but I do not see already scheduled Shop Orders.

 

 

Is there a way to have these 2 planning methods interact and at least show that Person X is working on a Work Order/Shop Order and is unavailable at that specific time?

 

Best Regards

Roel

 

Hello, 

We are wondering the same thing. Did you ever get this reseolved?

No, so far we have no solutions for this scenario.

Hi,

I think this is a very common scenario in many companies that is not properly supported in IFS.

I suggest to create an idea to let the community vote for it.

THank you for the response @Timmermans Roel 

@JohannesWittwer That is a good idea. There are many planning screens, but it’s hard to find the best one and how they all interact.

Do either one of you use the PSO module?
