We are attempting to set up work centers for RRP in IFS. We currently have 13 Work Centers that show up in RRP Load Analysis. We have many other work centers that do not show up in RRP. To Our knowledge, we did not intentionally set up these 13 work centers in RRP. Our best guess as to why these show up and others do not is that it has to do with the basic data setup for the work centers.

 

We have been digging through the IFS help on this subject and have not been able to find detailed instructions on how to setup an existing work center to function with RRP.

 

Can anyone provide instructions to set up RRP for existing work centers?

Hi,

In this initial reply I just cover some basics.

Starting from Apps 10 and on wards (I think): When you create an MS Level 1 part, system automatically creates RRP Resource Routing header. If you have old parts in master scheduling level 1, you need to create the resource routing header manually.

In RRP you can only work with master scheduled part (MS Level 1 or MS Level 0) and product family parts that you are using in Sales and Operations Planning.

Below screenshot is an example of how to setup resource routing for an MS Level 1 part.

When using RRP you should really focus on your key resources (sometimes referred as bottlenecks), then ones that causes you problems in your supply chain.

The work centers can be normal work centers (internal work centers) or Resource Requirement Planning work centers.

For work centers with work center code Resource Requirement Planning you can use other unit of measure than HOURS, for example PCS or square meters.

So please check what you have entered considering above screenshot and also the data you have in below tab in the Work Center screen (Enterprise explorer and Cloud looks a bit different but basically it is same functionality)

Hope this helps :-)

Cheers,

Mats

Thanks this was helpful.
