Routings should have reportable or collectable step(s), which may involve
different work centers. We have modified our paperwork on those steps, and
do get what we call "job tickets" that can have different work centers off
of the same item, where labor needs to be reported against each step.

Subject: [BPCS-L] Use of MRP640 for finite scheduling

Hello there,

We find it difficult to obtain information how to work successful with the
MRP640 program and look for advise.

PS: In our setup items get produced by going through multiple routing steps
on different work centres.

When working with MRP640 to plan the production and create the shop orders
from here we experienced that only routing entries are getting considered
where the work centre is assigned to the production line we are working in.
Other routing steps with different work centres from the same routing are
getting ignored and dropped in the shop order creation with option 6.

We wonder as well how to optimize the production plan generation considering
with capacity constraints when using MRP640 as the only available capacity
planning tool.

How do you use MRP640 in your environment?

Thanks in advance for some tips & advise


Regards
