Link scheduling of two dependent material

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please give solution for the below mentioned scenario.

There are 2 materials X,Y which are dependent on each other in scheduling for example shaft(X) is to machined based on the bore(Y) size.

Production order is created for both the materials X and Y.

Operation sequence for the bore(Y) is as follows:

10 Cutting

20 Turing

30 Boring

40 Milling

50 Drilling

Operation sequence for the Shaft(X) is as follows:

10 Cutting

20 Turning

30 drilling

40 milling

My requirement is in the production order, scheduling should be done for operation 20(Turning) of shaft(X) after finish date of Operation 30(Boring) of bore(Y) i.e If Operation 20(Turning) of shaft(X) is scheduled on 12-11-2007, then Operation 30(boring) of bore(Y) is finished before 12-11.2007. Is there any possibility to link the operation wise scheduling of two production orders.

Note:

1.Both the materials have different BOM.

2.Both have different work center.

3.Both materials are assembled in later stages

Hi,

You can try this by manual dispatch of the material (X) to the concerned date by knowing the date of the 30 Operation of material(Y) using Capacity Levelling.

Try this process...

hi thaila,

Thank you for the suggestion. But my requirement is the scheduling is to be done automatically in the production order for the connective operations.

Hi,

As far as i'm concerned, i dont think that this type of Operation Scheduling is possible.

Let us wait for any other options available for the same from the PP-Gurus.

Afzal,

There is no standard option available for your requirement. You need to develop a custom program for this.

The only option what I can think of is using Collective Orders Scenario. Pls explore this option, before getting into program development.
