Hello,

We use manufacturing tools to constrain our schedule with APB in Apps 10. Recently, we have encountered an issue where some shop orders are scheduling in APB, but many other shop orders are not getting scheduled in APB. After looking through many of the potential causes, we have determined the most likely cause to be the manufacturing tool. If we remove the tool from the the shop orders, the shop orders will schedule. We have run several parts and several scenarios, and APB seems to only schedule 5ea shop orders- regardless of how many are attempted. We have tried to schedule varying amounts of shop orders (13, 91, 102, etc)- and each time only 5 shop orders are scheduled.

We are not having this same issue with other Manufacturing tools. Other tools seem to be scheduling all attempted parts / shop orders correctly. But one particular tool seems to be having issues, limiting the amount of shop orders scheduled to 5.

Is there a setting on the manufacturing tool that might be controlling the number of shop orders that get scheduled?

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

 

Does the tool have any PM against it after 5 uses?

 

I had a scenario where a customer “services” a tool (mold) after 5 uses, so in terms of the WO schedule the tool is not available to be used.

 

Regards

Hi Darrin, thanks for the response. We actually determined the issue. It was related to manufacturing labor class and calculated capacity, not the tool. Odd, since the shop orders got scheduled just fine when we removed the tool and didn’t change anything with labor. However, when we re-calculated the labor class capacity everything seemed to work fine. Thank you.
