Hi all, first question for the community...What are your best practices for scheduling outside service operations?In the middle of a routing we send a part to an outside vendor. We currently use machine run factor for example 40 hours to schedule the shop order to be outside for one week. Is there a way to schedule the start and end times for the operation based on the lead time loaded in Supplier For Purchase Part (for the OS part number)?Additional question, if the confirmed delivery date of the outside service purchase order is later or earlier than the scheduled time, can the scheduled operation reflect that change?Ty!
Attempting to schedule operations using the advanced planning board. Ops 10 and 20 on each shop order are routed to the same work center. I would like to schedule these operations back to back and complete both operations before moving to a different shop order. The APB is scheduling operation 10 from one order, then operation 10 from another order, then back to operation 20 on the original, then 20 on the next and so on.Is there a way to influence scheduling to complete both operations on one order before moving on to the next order?
Parking an order prevents any shop floor reporting on the entire order. We need to process an order up to a point before parking it. Example, order is currently at op 10. Ops 10, 20 and 30 need to be processed, but we want to prevent op 40 from being processed. Is there any functionality to prevent a shop order from processing at a specific operation? Thanks
We use the shop floor workbench to manage priorities at a work center. As soon as a partial qty is reported complete on an operation, it appears as executable at the next operation. Work cannot begin on the next op until the previous op is fully reported. Is there any functionality in App 10 to make the subsequent op executable only when the previous op is fully reported complete? Thanks!
If a shop order scheduled to be completed after a customer order is due, MS generates a new shop order req. MRP logic would create an action proposal to move in the late order, not generate a new requisition. Why doesn’t MS logic work the same way? How do I get MS proposals to not generate double supply without planning strictly by MRP? These parts are forecasted and we still want forecast to generate reqs. In this example, there is no forecast, but one open customer order. The shop order is scheduled 1 day late so MS generates an additional req.
We are desiring to setup multi site planning with 2 sites and use distribution orders to generate supply/demand between the sites. When I run MRP I am failing to generate any distribution orders. Does a guide/instruction manual exist outside of the online help to ensure we are setting everything up correctly?
I have a manufactured part I only want to build when I have actual demand, not to forecast. I would use a planning method of next level demand, however, there are very long lead times for the purchased raw material to build the component and I would like the Finished Good forecast to drive requirements for the purchased material. Consider this example…Finished Good – BikeManufactured Component – WheelPurchased – Tire I want to purchase enough tires to support the Finished good demand. However, I don’t want to assemble the wheels unless there is actual demand for the bike. Reason being there is a very long lead time on tires and a very high cost of assembling wheels.Is it possible to not have MRP generate requisitions for the component or finished good, but still generate purchase reqs for raw materials? Is it possible to accomplish this, and still have the make parts included in CRP?
Hi All, I get the MRP message “No Demand Exists” for a part that I have 3 open customer orders for. This should be generating an Early Order message since the shop order has a need by date earlier than the customer order. An ideas??
Calculating Master Schedule generates shop order req for customer order that has inventory already reserved for it. Customer order requires 50 pcs. We have a lot of 50 already reserved to the order. MS still generates another order for 50, leaving me with 50 pcs after the order ships. Why is it double dipping? Am I missing something? Thanks
