Dear colleagues,
We have 3 production lines, 2 press-forms and 1 setup-engineer. 3 productions lines X 2 press-forms = 6 combinations.
Press-form can be installed to any production line.
Productivity depends on the production line and press-form combination. Only one press-form can be installed on the production line.
Work hours of production lines and press-forms for production planning - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setup matrix is use properly.
Setup activity can be performed only by a setup-engineer (work time at 9-00 to 14-00). In another time changeover can not be performed.
Production line and press-form loaded simultaneously during the entire period of production and can not be used to produce another product.
Questions:
1) How PDS should be structured in APO PP/DS in order to reflect abovementioned requirements?
2) How to plan setup activity only in work hours of setup-engineer?
Best regards, Dmitry
Hi Dimitry,
As I understand your requirement the sequence on each of the 3 production lines is something like this:
Setup Engineer -> press form, Setup Engineer being 1 for the 3 lines it is the bottleneck.
Map Setup Engineer as a secondary resource and use it for the setup operation -- pooled capacity can be used for this purpose -- so that setup will happen only when this setup engineer is active
Map press form also as a secondary resource will pooled capacity - 2 nos.
By doing this you will be able to produce on each of the 3 production lines only based on the availability of these 2 resources.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Subhash

Hi Subnash.
1) Productivity depends on the production line and press-form combination. Press-forms are unique. We can not use a pooled capacity to press-forms.
2) In APO only one capacity may be relevant for scheduling, we need usually two capacity for scheduling - production line and setup-engineer. According to your solution only one capacity is used for scheduling (setup-engineer).
Best regards, Dmitry
