Dear experts,
I have created a resource with a control key which is linked with machine hours and labour hours. I have maintained capacity utilization as 100 %. I have used this resource in my recipe and defined 8 hours required to produce one batch of 100 Kg.
Example:
I have put a plan to produce 300 Kgs. After MPS run, during capacity evaluation in CM01 system displays available capacity as 24 Hrs. per day and requirement capacity as 24 Hrs. per day and there is no overload seen on the resource. But there is one reuirement. Whenever the production team starts the campaign or there is a product changeover, they perform the cleaning of the resource, check the resources cleaniness, take line clearance from the quality assurance department and then start the actual production. This way they spend aprroximately 8 Hrs. and utilise only 16 hrs. for actual production. During a month the cleaning activity is performed almost 10 to 12 times and this gives a wrong picture of the available capacity and the planner plans for more no. of batches which are not actually possible.
The requirement is that in such cases the available capacity should be shown as 18 Hrs. and the requirement capacity should be shown as 24 Hrs. Then, the production planner shall plan the third batch on the next day.
The cleaning time is not required for every batch, but it is at the start of the campaign. Can we use setup time in the resource? If yes, what configuration needs to be performed. When this resource is used in any recipe, what the user needs to perform during confirmation of process order when there is cleaning involved and for process order when there is no cleaning involved.
Pl. suggest how set up time to be used or is there any other way to do this.
Regards,
Prashant
