Interesting scenario. Let's wait to get feedback on whether this is a common scenario! Solution wise it could probably be handled similar to as it is handled for labor. I.e. one person (resource) could be split among several labor classes (even on different sites) using a % factor. So one machine resource could be split among work centers using the same logic.Hi Bjorn,If the planners function is to balance the production load for any given time frame ,I don’t think a fixed capacity share between a sites is a good solution.eg:This week CNC-X is utilized solely for production of the site X & next week it may be utilized for shop orders in both sites.
I’ve encountered this scenario multiple times .Even across multiple companies.Example: weaving,Knitting mills ,Tea Packaging . -Common factor -Single planning departmentthe first two can have 100s of machines at a single site.Like Saman has mentioned ,The same machine is registered in all sites as work center resources.As far as I know none of them uses CRP. what they do is look at the machine load grouped at machine level .as to identify the machines real location a custom filed is used to identify the actual ‘Site’
