Hi Expert,
The current process is a mess, we have demands for lots of items and they are creating a false load in the machine shop. The orders required through the product cell this week account for 550 hours this week, even though I can only produce 150 hours a week in this area. I have tried to address this by moving the orders using the planning screens but it seems to create/move other orders to fulfil the higher level requirements making the situation look worse. The basic process is as follows u2013
1. Check stock levels on kanban rack 3-4 times weekly
2. Raise orders where stock levels are below the desired quantity
3. Produce components
4. Place finished components on kanban rack
5. Book time and close order when quantity produced
Given there are demands for other components as well as these components I have also tried to move the demands using CM25 to level the load.
Waiting for the Reply>.
Thanks
Babar.
