work center grouping

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have 8 no of similar type of machine say M1....M8, with 21 hr capacity each per day.

Now first four (M1to M4) machines are grouped for specific finish product say FERT1 and next four(M5 to M8) for FERT2.

Now tell me how to configure this,,whethere as create M11 single machine with individual capacity 4 for first and M22 with individual capacity 4 for second....If so if i have M3 under break down or some problem then i have capacity for FERT1 will be (21x3).

Also some times i can use M5 machine to produce FERT1 in case of overload.

Please tell me best solution to configure.

Regards

Tara

Hi,

1. As you have mentioned you have to maintain 2 workcentre

2. M1 - Machin 1to4, M2 M/c5to8

3. Now you have to create 2 set of routing with your primary machine as group counter 1 and second one as group counter 2

4. Also you have to create the production version with first version as your normal production.

Normal scenario:

1. IN normal run the mrp will select the first production version( set the indicatro in the mrp view for prod version selection)

Breakdwon scnearion:

1. In such scenarion, we have to go the workcentre view and in the capacity, shift and intervals we have to reduce the no of individual capacity for the breakdown period.

3. then select the planned order/ productin order to the new verision.

Note:

1. this changes are conditional to the status of the production order.

2. Each Fert material need to have 2 routing and 2 production version.

Kindly let me know your feedback

Hi sateesh

Thanks for reply,,

As u suggested if i create M11 (M1to M4) with individual capacity 4 and create routing for FERT1 with the same.

At the time of order creation system will say that i ve capacity (21x4).

But here there are physicaly 8 differrent machines with 8 different operators and client want machinewise report for each.

If i create different machines with M1 to M8 then i cant write routing properly and cant calculate available capacity.

Master data setup:

1. In the work centre capacity you have to deine the individual capacity

2. In the workc centre capacity header ->Goto>Individual capactiy

3. Here you can give the indivdual machine number as M11 TO M15

4. and give the capcity

Note: this is required because only this will be available in the production order for splitting.

Productionorder

1. Now when we have planned order, we conver them to production order

2. For example if produciton order qty is 500 EA and now we plant to run in the machine, m11 and m12.

3. For this we need to go the opeation details>cap.req.assignment.

4. Here you can see the split number ( greyed out) and capacity ( input filed) here you can select the split and give the

individual capacity

for our case we will be assighning like below

splino ! capacity ! split qty

1 ! m11 ! 250 EA

2 ! m12 ! 250 EA

Production confirmation:

1. Now when we confirm the production in colln , when we select the production order/operation number

along with that we will be able to give the split number.

2. the system will validate the individual capacity number that we have given here

Reporint:

1. Now in the AFRU table the split number is saved.

2. So using this we will be able to generate the report.

Kindly let me know if you have any issues

Thanx Sateesh,

Thats i want...thank you once again.

Hi,

1. You can create only One work center involving the capacity of all 8 machine as machine type and capacity is same. You will not be having problem to interchange the machine if overload is ther, as you mentioned machine M5. Here entry level and confirmation of operation would be easy.

2. Create 3 groups . One group for machine type common for FERT1 , group 2 for FERT2 and 3rd group for the machine which are common which , machine like M5 will lie in this group. If M5 machine is rarely interchange then you have to do entry every time which will consume time and entry level will increase.
