Hello, We change suppliers for the same part, using supplier for purchase part. We want to be able to see what stock we have from each supplier, and we want to be able to see what stock we have shipped to customers from each supplier. What possibilities exist in IFS10? Thank you, Basil
Hello,We are usually measuring forecast accuracy with a report created taking the forecasted quantities and ordered sales quantities. In Demand Planner there is a forecast accuracy measure. Does anyone know how this is calculated and whether this could be used to measure on a weekly or monthly basis?Regards,Basil
Hello, Before we implemented IFS10 we had ABC Classes on the parts we sold. We used contribution margin to determine whether a part was A, B or C. The parts are sold to a number of markets, and we got input from the markets to “reclassify” so that a small market wasn’t just left with Cs. If we had a constraint situation in production we could use the ABC class to prioritise. We also used it to prioritise focus for demand planning. The parts we sell are both manufactured and purchased.Since going live we have not changed the migrated values. I want to try the automatic update.Is ABC Class a mandatory field?Is is possible to change the default value so that it is not C?Do all Inventory Parts get the ABC Class?What experiences do you have with the automatic update of the ABC Class and what functionality is there linked to it, eg safety stock calculation and the service rate?Regards,Basil
Hello,In IPAP you see the projected usable quantity for a part at future dates. I want to get an overview of all the projected usable quantities for all parts in our site at a date in the future, for example 31st December. How can I do this?Regards,Basil
Hello,Out of all our parts we have many that are “Planned by MS” and many that are “Site MRP”. I have found 4 parts (3 are in the structure of one) which are defined as “Selective MRP”. How would these have been set as “Selective MRP”? Does it result in any difference when MRP is run?Thank you.Regards,Basil
We are using planning method A for the majority of our parts and have so far been updating the safety stock manually.I see in the help that the automatic update of safety stock is possible with planning methods B and C. Why is that? And is there any way we can use it for planning method A?Regards,Basil
We have MS Level 1 parts that are manufactured and many that are purchased (finished goods).All have a demand time of 2 days.MS Level 1 parts that are manufactured have a planning time fence of 20 days, and the planning time fence of those that are purchased reflect the purchase lead times of the parts, typically 50+ days, many above 100 days.For manufactured parts we tend to set a production plan for the next 3 weeks, and will not change the forecast in the planning time fence.For purchased parts with such a long lead time (planning time fence) we believe that we should make changes to the forecast if we expect that demand will change. By making such changes and being able to see the forecast in the planning time fence we would be able to communicate risks, such as when we see we will go into negative on-hand, and we may be able to act to expedite purchase orders, for example choosing a faster mode of transport.What is the best practice for managing the planning time fence and forecas
We are using APB to schedule shop orders. Parts are manufactured in four processes on different work centres with the different sub-assemblies (manufactured components) identified as separate parts. The processes need to be scheduled so that they are completed in time for the next part to be started. We are backward scheduling and the top part’s need date should drive the scheduling of the previous (lower) parts in the structure. APB is not scheduling the shop orders of the parts as we had expected. How can this be achieved in APB?
We have high forecasted demand for many parts on several work centres in January 2024, with these requisitions resulting in an overload on these work centres. We are not able to increase capacity on these work centres. We have available capacity in October, November and December where we could produce them in advance. We have planning time fences of maximum 20 days for the manufactured parts. Ideally we would want the available capacity to be filled pulling forward any requisitions that overload the work centres in January. Some of the purchased components in the product structures have long lead times and will need to be ordered in July for production in October. What possibilities do we have to do this without manually pulling forward and creating shop orders for October, November and December and without using order gap time?
