Hi, has anyone got any advice on how often to perform cycle counting against ABC classifications. I understand the concept of ABC and how to calculate and classify parts (including frequency and lifecycle) but wondering if anyone has any guidance on the days between counts against ABC/Frequency. We often have problems on shop orders where parts cannot be issued because they are being counted and this frustrates the heck out of the planners. My feeling is that we are counting too frequently and I would like to increase the cycle interval but not too sure where the sweet spot would be.Grateful if you could share your experiences.Thank you!

Tagging of Equipment

Hi All, We are looking to see if a specific functionality exists in IFS. We currently have the ability to have specific tagging instructions write from an outside program when order for multiple qty's of a single line item. Example - I have a qty of 10 as a line item on a customer order. Each of those items have specific tagging instructions - item 1 of 10 on the order goes to Building A , item 2 of 10 does to Building B, and so on and so forth. Other than the serial part notes field, is there a place where this type of information natively goes in IFS without modification. The goal is to print a label and apply it to each item, per the customers tagging instructions. This is separate from our serial number. Does this exist currently in IFS?

Using Kanban circuit to stop over producing

I am facing an issue at our factory that when an integration line has a stoppage, the information does not reach manufacturing and the parts manufactured keep clogging the lines. I have found no way to control this in IFS. I have not used Kanban circuits before but I was wondering if this could be a solution. could I set a maximum quantity for a specific part and a reorder point so when the quantity of parts exceeds the set limit, no more shop orders are released into manufacturing? thank you in advance.

Eco-footprint calculation - actual emission calculation

Hi community,We are studying the eco-footprint functionalities in IFS Cloud and would like to have an answer if the eco-footprint calculates the total emission based on actual part usage in the organization?As an example if we have defined substances and connected the substances for a part, are we able to calculate how much our actual usage has created emissions? Does it calculate how many parts we have produced / sold / disposed / purchased during the selected period? If yes, what is the logic and how we can do the actual emission calculation?Now we have been able to create calculation for one single part /part structure but how we get our actual total emissions calculated?I would appreciate your help since there is not so much material related to this topic.I have seen the demo video below and read the IFS help but cannot find the answer.https://www.gotostage.com/channel/4c8b006abd3344ea9a62605ba7c00c31/recording/f753f5fdfd964d72837d80c995fc2229/watch?source=CHANNEL

Shop Order Requisition Start Date

I have a question about the different calculations of the Shop Order Requisition start date depending on whether it is generated manually or through MS/MRP. From testing (Cloud) I have found the following: Manual SOR:Uses Fixed & Variable lead time set on the Inventory Part manufacturing tabIf this is 0, it uses Manufacturing Lead Time entered on Lead Time & Supply Dates section on Inventory Part main tab insteadIt doesn’t directly use the lead time data in the routing alternate revision MS/MRP:Uses lead time data in the routing alternate revision (if this has been calculated)If not calculated, uses Manufacturing Lead Time entered on Lead Time & Supply Dates section on Inventory Part main tabIgnores anything manually entered on Inventory Part manufacturing tab If I change the Due Date on an MS/MRP generate SOR, the start date changes based on the logic for the manual SOR.

Eco footprint - Ecomanpart Info already exists

Hello everyone, Has anyone encountered this error when wanting to recreate a master part ? The Eco-footprint Part Information is automatically created when the master part is created. However, if the master part is later deleted, this information is kept and it does not allow the recreation of the same master part number. Also, the record from “Eco-footprint Part Information” screen cannot be deleted. Do you know if there is a special setting that should be configured ? Thank you.

Multiple Operations Inventory Issue

When using multiple operations, the part is not dropping into inventory after op 10. It only drops into inventory after the final op. This is an issue as we create the first portion or part in op 10, move it to the next work center where it may sit for a few days, then run it through op 20. Close shop order and the final part is in inventory. Is this an IFS issue whereas there is not a way to run multiple operations while tracking inventory? Or-am i using the functionality wrong? If so, what does standard manufacturing operations use to track multiple ops throughout their plant? -part set up wrong preventing it from being in inventory after op 10?-wrong ifs application? If multiple ops is not used for this, what do IFS users use to track a single part that takes many operations to complete in its final form? Think of aluminum rolling mill…. One part number but takes many weeks and many passes to transform the ingot into its final sheet or plate form.

Scheduling with multiple operations

Hello everyone. I am hoping someone can give me some suggestions for how to resolve this conflict. Our manufacturing process is a conveyor belt line. The first machine does task 1 and the product goes down a conveyor to a second machine that performs task 2, then on to the conveyor belt again until it reaches another machine for a 3rd task. Then further down the conveyor belt the product is packaged at the final work station. We have these set up as operations within our route, and each operation has a unique work center.The production team reports scrap at the operation level to allocate the correct cost at time of scrap. They also report labor at the operation level and use for productivity measures. This has worked great for the production team, but our planning team is downloading files and planning outside of IFS.Our planning team would like to be able to schedule within IFS, but they would like to do so using a single bar in either APB or VP, without the spaghetti effect or

Currently, we hold shipping for about 3 days to complete performing the inventory and then resume shipping on the 4th day. Just wondering what some of the different ways in which you are counting your Finished goods inventory. Do you utilize a 3rd party team? Do you count/freeze warehouse-by-warehouse? Any other ways to shorten the time for performing the inventory count? Thanks in advance!D

Phantom BOM data missing when using MRP-Code "K" in a DOP-ordre

Hi all, I work in a Danish machine company called GM and we have been using IFS for a little over a year now. We are currently working and testing the IFS Configurator, to be able to configurate our machines to make it easier for us and our customers. There have been done several tests and our issue right now, is when we make a DOP-order for a machine, the phantom BOM of the machines sub assemblies with the MRP-code “K” isn't visible in the production order. Meaning our production won´t be able to see where all the different parts belong to. We have tried some different things incl. adding a BOM that have a MRP-Code “K” to the order, which came out as It should. - Also if the BOM is with a MRP-code “P” it will also come out correct, BUT we have run in to problem with the “P” MRP-code, so we don´t want to use that on. My questions is therefore, what can we do to fix the above issue? - we want to use the MRP-Code “K” and we want them to shown in the order when adding a DOP-order in our
