Ability to remove setup time for 2 consecutive Shop Order of the same Part_No

This can be achieved if you use characteristics and the setup matrix for the work center. 

You are right Bjorn, as I have stated initially, we can use the setup matrix… but this involves to set the matrix for all your items.

I would like to have the same functionality we had in APB that doesn’t involve any settings for consecutive shop orders of the same part.

Thanks for your comment,

Hi ​@NBYMONTMINY ,

I clearly understand your requirement.

However, the Sequence Shop Order Operations Assistant is a work center–resource-specific tool, primarily designed to support the sequencing functionality using setup matrices.

On the other hand, Setup Optimization in APB is a separate feature and does not have a direct dependency on a specific work center resource. Even when multiple operations exist, the Shop Order Infinite Scheduler can evaluate all relevant work centers and eliminate setup times when consecutive operations in same resource which are belong to the same parent part.

Therefore, this type of setting is more appropriate at the site level, rather than being defined at the work center resource level in within the sequencing assistant.

Thanks!
