Individual Capacity production rate

[Former Member]

The scenario is a work center with 2 machines, which are having different production rates. One machine has production rate of 1 hour / piece and another has 2 hours / piece.

In the work center these 2 machines are maintained as individual capacities. But how to maintain the different production ratesfor these individual capacities?

Dear Friend ,

Create the separate work center is the solution . Because if the capacity is not matching then ,it will not be of no use.

Because your scheduling , operation time calculation will not be correct.

The capacity of each individual machine within work center should be same to calculate the capacity of work center.

Hi,

Workcenter: here you define the available capacity, shift , control key, costing etc.and no where you will be defining the produciton rates

productoin rates:

1. For defining production rates you need to define them inthe routing

2. in routing you will define what is the production rate for each operation, workcentre combination.

if the same material can be produced indifferent workcnetres then you need to create one routing with 2 group counter and define them precisely.

kindly letme know your feedback

Hello DSK,

Thanks for your response. But I am looking into such scenario that have a work center, say for example Drilling. In this work center I have 2 drilling machines, the one a automatic and another non-automatic. The product is same from both the machines. But the production rates are different. So how do I map such scenraio?

Dear ,

I think you are looking for assingement of two differenet Activity type for Machine in the same work centre if I am not worng .

Basically , you have work centre and you assinged Activity type -Setup , Labor , machine in Costing View .Now in this case , do not assing any Machine Activity Type in Costing view .

Let say you have 100PC/HR for Automatic machien -Activity Type -AMAC

250 PC/HR for Non -Automatic -Activity Type- NAMAC

1.Create Routing in CA01 for the same FG-goto Operaton Detail Screen -Enter Operation Drilling -Enter Text Drilling Automatic -Assing Work Centre -Hrs ( Setup , Machine , Labour as applicable ) -Now double click on the Operation Line itm -Goto Standrad Value Tab -Assing the Activity Type AMAC for Automatic Machine .

2.You can also enter one more operation line -Enter Drilling Non-Automatic -Assing the Activity Type NAMAC .

You can enter the same operation line itme with same work centre in the same routing with different Actuvity Type in rotuing but not in Production Order .Or you can enter in different routing also .iF YOU DO NOT ASSING ANY ACTIVITY TYPE in work centre , you can choose the same in Routing as applicable .It depends how is your business needs to estimate the Production rate based on three Standrad Value key assinged to your Work Centre

Hope this is clear

ZSAPUSER, you said there are two machines in the work center, one with higher production rate than the other one. My question is, what happens when an order is shceduled on the work center, does it get split between the two machines or it takes which ever machine is avialable? If it doesn't get split then creating two seperate work centers will be the way. If the order gets split then we need to consider whether there is a minimum send ahead quantity or not or whether the order moves to the next operation in one go. The complexities will increase a bit more. Hope this helps some what.

Hi,

My requirement is simple:

I have a work center - Drilling

I have 2 drilling machines.

The first non-automatic drilling machine production is 100 bores in 100 minutes.

The second drilling automatic machine production rate is 100 bores in 50 minutes.

I need to bore 100 nos (one hole / plate i.e. on 100 plates) with these machines utilizing their full capacities.

So i will assign 33 nos to non-automatic machine and 67 nos to the automatic machine, so that my operation will be completed by same time on both the machines.

So how do I map this in SAP?

Hi,

Your requirement is simple, But to map it in SAP, you have to follow certain procedures,

In your case as you are telling 2 drilling machines, You need to have 2 production order to get executed in different rates,

In one single order you cannot have 2 different rates for one single material and with one single workcentre...( at the planning level)

Hope all the above people have detailed it the best possible solution for your requirement..

Dear ,

Based on your requirement , please note my suggestion to map this in SAP :

Option 1:

1.There are two individual capacity for your Work Centre having different production or drilling rate ( more specifically ) .They will assinged to CR02-Work Centre (Drilling ) -Capacity Tab Header Details-Available Capacity -No of Individaul Capacity .

2.Do not assing any Machine Activity Type in your Work Centre -Costing tab .(You may be having Set up activity type with Formula key as well as Labor also ) .

3.Create Two different Activity Type in KP26 under same Production Cost Center with propoer validity with different rate asisnged in the Activity Type .Take the Help of CO/FICO guy who will create the Activity Type with two different rate .

Activity Type : Automatic machine : 100 pc/100 min means 1 PC /MIN. Define the Miniute wise rate for this machine in KP26

Activity Type : Non-Automatic machine : 100 pc/50 min means 2 PC /MIN.Define the Miniute wise rate for this machine in KP26

4.Create Routing with two operation Line item : Drilling Automatic and Non Automatic and assing the Work Centre , activity type as applicable ( refer my earlier reply ) .Here keep Required Spillitng option with No of Split as 2 ( 33:67)

5.Create Production Order with 100 PCs which will processed as per the splitting and machine hrs

Option : 2

Otherwise , best option will be two different Work Centre with two different Machien Activity Type assinged with same Setup , Labor and work centre will be having single individual Available Capaicty in CR02.Follow point 2, 3 for the same
