Manufacturing Lead time, milestone operation wise

[Former Member]

Good Evening to All !

I have a scenario. I am explaining this scenario through 1 example.

We have a material 'X'. Inhouse production time for this material is 6 days, which is maintained in MRP2 view.

Now in Routing of this material 'X' there are total 10 operations starts from 1 to 10. Operation No. '4' & Operation No. '10' are milestone operation. The workcenter for both milestone operations are different. Now in house production time which I maintained in material master is total lead time for material 'X'.

The requirement is: Workcenter of Operation "4 "wants to know on daily basis that what quantity should be delivered from their workcenter.

Now my question is that can I maintain this lead time(6 days) in 2 parts as:

Till operation "4" my lead time is 5 days &

From operation "5" to Operation 10 lead time is 1 day.

Please suggest all possible solutions.

Can APO help in this scenario.

Thanks in Advance.

If you run MRP with "lead time scheduling" (instead of "basic dates"), it will schedule the order by the routing, and let you know the planned workload for each WC in advance.
