Product variant constraint in SNP optimizer run

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a business scenario where I require a constraint on the number of FG variants produced per day. A number of FG SKUs come under a particular variant. On any day the factory is able to produce only a fixed number of variants (say 5). I am looking for a way to map this constraint in optimizer run.

Will appreciate your thoughts to solve this problem.

Hi,

Try with the set up time & setup cost.

Make the setup time high so that the number of verients may come down.This is a work around solution.

Hope this can help.

Hi,

Does SNP Optimzer considers the Set up costs in the planning run ?

SNP Optimizer considers following factors for the optimizer Run:

Factors Considered During the Run

u2022 Valid transportation lanes

u2022 Lead times

u2022 Transportation capacity

u2022 Transportation costs

u2022 Handling capacity

u2022 Handling costs

u2022 Production capacity

u2022 Production costs

u2022 Storage capacity

u2022 Storage costs

u2022 Time stream (location master data)

u2022 Lot size (minimum, maximum, and rounding value)

u2022 Scrap

u2022 Alternative resources

u2022 Penalty costs for not fulfilling demand (supply shortage)

u2022 Safety stock violation penalty costs

u2022 Procurement costs

u2022 Shelf life

u2022 Cost multipliers

u2022 Location Products

u2022 Fixed PPM/PDS resource consumption

u2022 Fixed PPM/PDS material consumption

Hi,

By setup cost I have tried to mean the fixed cost in PPM.the optimizer will consider the same if you use optimizer profile with discrete option and with cost profiles.I think if the fixed cost is high then change overs will be probably less for SNP.As already said it is an work around.

Setup cost or change over cost is considered by PPDS optimizer.Regret for misunderstanding.

Hope this can help.
