Re: Sequencing in Automotive Supply Industry

Igor Hi!

What do you exactly refer to when you talk about sequencing?  If it is
sequencing in shipping Robert's answer is absolutely correct.

If what you are referring to is sequencing manufacturing, RMS obviously is
not going to handle that, however you could use the Group Technology
functionality to then sequence the order in which the planned orders are
sorted in MRP640.  You can then manually adjust the sequencing if need be or
release them according to the system proposed sequencing.

Furthermore, there is a report, CAP240, that will give you the load by Group
Technology.  This report does not give information about any particular shop
order, but it can be use to get visibility as to the balance or imbalance of
the sequenced production groups.

I hope this helps, if you need further assistance you can e-mail me directly
at imco99@hotmail.com and I will be glad to walk you through the process.

Regards,

Ruben Mirensky.
