alternate resource

Hi gurus,

I have a question for you experts. I have a resource WC_1 that has an alternate resource WC_2. WC_1 and WC_2 have different capacities, therefore their machine rate or scheduling is different. WC_1 is assigned to the master recipe, but when WC_2 is picked up as alternate, WC_1's rate/capacity is still being used.

How do you set this up? Thanks!

Regards,

Kumar

I also recomdon alaterive sequenec in routing rather tahn alternative WC.

As I am aware class 019 is used to find the WC with same char value and not for this purpose.

for the purpose you mentined alternative sequence is the best solution as recomonded by Yossi Bencuya.

hi

in your case you should create alternative sequence to WC1 with WC2, and in each sequence give the correct time.

at the production order you will choose can exchange the sequence.

How do you define alternative sequence? Is it through class types as well?

We are using PPPI, (master recipe). TIA!

Dear,

Assigning the WC to the primary work centers. By assigning thru this the secondary WC acts as alternate work center to primary work center

Hope clear to you.

Hi,

Alternate resource is managed with the use of Class Type 019 (Work Center Class). We assigned same class for the 2 resources. Thanks!

I agree with you..my only question is are you assigning WC1 in resource and WC2?

If you assign WC1 in recipe, then WC2 will be alternative and visa versa.
