Re: Exploding Material and Labor Requirements on Shop Orders...

DeeDee,

In version 8.x using Lean Manufacturing, you can release a "Lean 
Manufactured" item to be produced in the Production Cell that the item is 
assigned to. In the bill-of-materials you can specify if the 
sub-assemblies related to the final assembly are either stocked or 
non-stocked. When you release the parent order to the Final Assembly 
Schedule, you can also create all the non-stocked sub-assembly orders with 
it. Lean Manufacturing provides WIP transfers for the sub-assembly orders 
to be consumed in Final Assembly. They never go into a formal stockroom. 

In older versions of BPCS the only way I know to accomplish this is to use 
SFC350 to validate available sub-assemblies (if MRP is not your planning 
direction) and then use SFC530 Multi-Level Shop Order Release.

[BPCS-L] Exploding Material and Labor Requirements on Shop Orders...






Hi All,

Is there a way to create a shop order that will also produce material
and labor requirements for sub-assemblies that are out of stock or hard
allocated?

We are on 4.05 CD, but are also very interested in hearing from members
on versions of 6, 8, and/or LX.  Thanks in advance.

Regards,
