Hello

how can be managed the alternative ressources with PDS?

means: the customer has a ressource 1 but when it is overloaded they would like the system to automatically switch to an alternative ressource?

thanks

Hi elena,

In such cases, you need to create an alternate sequence in the routing

with the alternate resource and CIF it to APO as PDS wherein the

alternate resource will get updated in your PDS

During scheduling, based on priority or cost, it wil pick up the alternate

resource based on the alternate sequence.

This will resolve your issue.

Hi,

If you dont want to use the Alternate Sequence, you can use Standard Workcentre Class 019 in R/3 and als0 maintain Classification on Resources and Recipes/Routings. This will give you ALternate modes in PDS.

But i have another questiuon for a Group regading the same,

I completly agree that Optimizer will reduce the Load to Other Resources based on Cost, but has anybody used heuristic for this application and if yes, can you please specify name of heuristic please.

Thanks

Hi Elena,

Maintain Production version for the alternative resource and CIF to APO.

If you are running Optimizer then maintain less cost in the main resource PPM.

If you are running Heuristics then maintain high priority in the main resource.

Then system first consider the main resource then alternative resource simultaneously

I think this will work. Please let me know.
