Hi,
For a chemical company I have the following situation: A bulk (intermediate product) is blended/produced in a tank. Then this bulk will be filled into different possible packaging. Therefore the tank will only be empty, when the last quantity is filled into one of these possible packaging. And a new production of a bulk can only begin, when the tank is empty. (An order for producing and one or some orders for filling will be used).
My idea was now to use container resources for these tanks. My aim would be, that if the tank is not empty, there is no capacity. That would mean, that any stock “uses” or blocks available capacity of the tank. First test showed that this is not the case.
Therefore: What is the final usage of a container resource – what is your experience? Can I somehow block the resource until it is emptied by the filling orders (which would use only the filling machines as resources)? What do I have to maintain to receive this result (already done: container resource and product flow in SCM 5.0)?
Thanks a lot
Guido
