Hi,

 

Is it possible in manufacturing to include an extra paramater to define the capacity, besides hours?

 

In the assembly industry, you often have a big hall where the assembly takes places. Multiple orders take place at the same time. However, not every order needs as much as room as the other.

Let’s say our hall is 100m². Order A takes 50m² for 20 hours, order B takes 25m² for 8 hours and order C takes 10m² for 40 hours.

We now use 85m² meters of the 100 available. So if could theoritically still plan an order that needs max 15m².

Is there an option to visualise this?

 

 

You should be able to solve this by defining the % of the space an order should allocate using the “Resource Share” concept.

The resource share is set on the routing operation. If you for the product produced on order A set resource share = 0.5 (50%) and runtime = 20h, the system will allocate the resource for 50% during 20 hours. The load visible from CRP will show as 10h (but the time from scheduled start to finish is 20h).
