Does anyone have experience using finite forward scheduling in a situation
where there are multiple work centers in the same warehouse that can produce
the same item.  The problem is that the routes assign each item to a
particular work center which may or may not be the one we will run the item
on.  But in finite forward scheduling the item will only show up and can
only be scheduled on the line the routing indicates, unless each shop order
is edited.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
