Hi,
I'd like to know what options are available to me to for keeping Orders for specific Materials grouped together when running heuristics.
For example, I have three Materials: Material A, Material B and Material C. Now, I want Material C to always be scheduled after Material B, but only if sufficient demand exists for it prior to the next run of Material B.
Maybe this illustration will help explain matters:
Week SKU
1 Material A
2 Material A
3 Material B
4 Material C
5 Material A
6 Material B
7 Material A
8 Material A
9 Material B
10 Material C
11 Material A
12 Material A
13 Material C
So, in week 3, I need to produce Material B, but because Material C is required before I next produce Material B (week 6) and Material C must always follow Material B, a run of Material C is scheduled into week 4.
Is there a strategy I can use that will do this for me? Any pointers welcome.
Thanks,
Matty
