Mike,

The way system 21 loads the workstation (essentially)  is in 24 hour
buckets per part number.
So if you run several items on a line - it fills the line with "order" or
"demand" quantities (based on production lead times - cycle times on the
route(s)) for each part number so two part numbers = 48 hours etc.
If you are fortunate to have production cells built to match the customers
usual demand it really isn't too bad.
There are also some ways to cope using MPS production details rules and
the built in Capacity reports and inquiries for visibility before getting
down to the work station, but suffice it to say - system 21 is not a
finite or APS based (capacity) planning system..
I should note that I have not yet had the opportunity to test in version
3.5.2 SP4.

Could someone please explain how System 21 handles this?  We were looking
at another package that offers finite capacity loading and wondered how
effective JBA's functionality is?  (We're currently not using it.)

Thanks in advance.
