Managing Deployment of production orders

[Former Member]

Hi,

In our system, we have production orders at plant and these are deployed to DCs. We have a special requirement that the production orders finishing before 6PM should be deployed the same day and the orders completing after 6PM should be deployed the subsequent day.

I appreciate any ideas for a solution to achieve this requirement.

Thanks.

Hi Visu Venkat,

We have such scenario in our previous project wherein

we have created separate storage locations(1 & 2) for the stock

to be visible for deployment.

ie Stocks after 6 pm should be moved to storage location 2 wherein

deployment will not consider those locations and stocks before 6 pm

will be posted in storage location 1 and deployment run will deploy

those stocks in unrestricted use.

I dont know whether this helps in your scenario or not, but just

sharing my thought so that if applicable for you, then it will be helpful

for you.

Hi Vishu,

If you are running deployment daily and only for that day , then the above innovative solution will work.

However if you are executing deployment run daily for say 5 days of period, then the above solution mayl not work.

We did a good development work in one implementation, which involved some 5 db tables and 3 programs for fulfilling distribution requirments depending up on some specific criteria.

Hi Senthil/Datta,

Thanks for the answers. We actually do deployment for a 7 day period and the system considers all planned/production orders as ATD receipts. So what Senthil suggested can not be used in this case...we were thinking about adding some production time to production orders to delay the orders but that is causing issues in production planning blocking capacity un-necessarily.

Any other ideas please?

Datta,

Can you explain a little on more what you guys did?
