Problem in Combining Multiple Work centers

39 Views

Dear All,

In my client Place, A plant has been divided into Cells ( Customer wise Cell)

The Cell concept is followed to monitor the Consumption closely and to issue the production Plan cell wise.

For Example, There are 2 CNC machines and 2 Vertical Milling machines and 1 Multi Spindle machine available in "Cell 1".

In "Cell 2" - 3 CNC machines, 2 VMCs & 2 Multi Spindle Automate machines.

I want to manufacture Material "A". It can be manufactured by using all 5 CNC machines available.

1. If I define all CNC machies as separate work centers, i need to create 4 alternative sequences.

2. If I define all as a single work center, when there is a breakdown in one particular machine i will not be able to calculate the actual capacity.

Please suggest me some solution for this.

Thanks & Regards

Bala
