Re: Overlapping Operations days

Mac,

Thanks for that comprehensive explanation, Mc. Hail to the
BPCS Guru!! :)

Just to clarify things - the hours set up in the routings,
do they actually affect the number of days a shop order will
take? Last time, I tried this - inputing extreme hours to
the machine / labor in a routing. Eg. 5000 hours in one
operation to create a batch of Prod. A. Amazingly, when I
created the shop order, the shop order still take one day to
finish. This is really strange. That's why I thought shop
order days are calculated only by move days / queue days. Is
this because it only has one operation? Is this the right
concept? Or should the shop order take [5000 / (available
hours per day)] days to create a batch of Prod. A?

So, when I input queue days, it should be -ve[5000 /
(available hours per day)] in the next operation to have
concurrent operations.  But the end result is that the shop
order will never be finished in one day right? Because the
second operation cannot finish before the first operation is
done.

How should I report the inconsistency in the number of days
a shop order will take? During labor ticket processing?

I probably should try this at the office when it opens
again.

Hope you can shed a little bit more light at my direction in
the meanwhile.

Once again, thanks.

Regards,

Santa
