I am new to IFS (4 weeks) and have been tasked with coming up with a way for our schedulers to be able to plan using drag and drop (I am looking at visual planning) as well as plan with a single line of the route (we currently have up to 4 operations).  Is there a way in IFS to group the operations together for planning while leaving the 4 separate operations intact for the rest of the organization? 

Right now we are on the path of creating a ‘dummy’ work center that would represent the full time on the machine.  This is failing because when I set the operation to the bottom of the route (operation 50), it doesn’t start until operation 30 is complete.  I need it to start at the same time as operation 10 and complete at the same time as operation 40.

Is there a way in IFS to make this happen, or what am I missing on the operation set up to make them align?
