Re: START TIMES ON MO'S (Weston Wheat)

   As well as Queue time (W/C)  and possibly Std Eff (W/C) .  I suppose Yield
   too would inflate std hrs,  huh.

       Yes, you need lead times in the operations. There are three components
   to
       lead-time: the actual 'touch time', operation setup time, and move
   time
       (to get to this operation).
       Setup and run time are calculated based on what's in the routing and
   the
       capacity statement in the work center master. Move time is in the
   routing.
       The significance of the "operations in sequence" question is for
   reporting
       error detection  - with this set to 'yes', the system will not accept
   an
       activity transaction for, say, operation 30 if operation 20 is not
       complete. It has nothing to do with scheduling, per se, but forces you
   to
       close operations as they are completed which might affect the
   priorities
       calculated for the remainder of the operations as it progresses
   through
       the plant.
       At the risk of being promotional here, there are clear, simple
       explanations of the scheduling and all the fields that affect it in my
       book MAPICS Production Activity Control. I have about 50 copies left
   in
       stock. You can order one via email to dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
       Good luck.

       Hello group.
       Ok, This is going to sound trivial .
       As I have mention, before we are in the process
       of re-aligning our mapics processes. Or I should say
       in the process of matching our bussiness processes to
       mapics. We have allot of work arounds that we want to
       do away with.
       Anyway, we want to take advanage of the MO operations scheduling
       that mapics is capable of , i.e. We want mapics to tell us when to
   start a
       operation
       within a MO. I have the in the test environment, gone into Tayloring
   for
       PCC.
       Have set Backard Scheduling to YES as well as Process Shop activily in
       seq.
       to
       Yes. However when I did a test MO, I still got the Start Dates
   matching
       the
       Completion
       Dates. Do we need to load the lead time for the opearations mannally?
       And where would we do that?
       Thanks
