How to define/plan how much Steel Strips from a Coil sheet.

[satish_kumar176]

There is a slitting machine which cuts one Coil sheet in several strips. Such strips could be with different wide, it means different material number

The slitting machines produce 2 lanes of scrap and, in the example, 4 strips of 10 inches and one strip of 9 inches. Strips 1 to 4 are from the same Material number and the strip 5 is from a different material numbers.

We have one component and two products, but we have examples with 3 or 4 different produced material numbers, because it depends on the optimization at planning process.

The question I have for experts is how we can manage this. The ideal solution could be one Production order within products and one component.

1. Tracking of FG material till Mother coil?
2. Where we can maintain how much strip from single coil will be produce?

Other topic we have to take into account is capacity, the capacity i feet/sec at component level....

I really appreciate your comments

Been thinking about this.

1) have you looked in SAP mill products solution? I believe it was originally developed for the metals industries by Mitsubishi.

2) How are you receipting the products against the order? Can you somehow receipt each "lane" separately and create inspection lots for each lane of material? The first and last lanes would be processed with a UD of scrap or to blocked stock if you have a way of recycling or using the scraps. (i.e. post to a different material number for scrap material).

Hi Sathish,

You can maintain the negative quantity in bill of material for waste product so that at the time of goods receipt you can get the waste material can be counted (As By product-531 Mvt type).
