Manufacturing: machine set up optimizing

SOLVED
Posted By

Hello, everyone!

We are facing an issue during the production scheduler implementation. The customer uses products characteristics to optimize the set-up time. Let’s say it is 5 hours long for a complete machine set-up, then to change from a product with diameter 5 to another with diameter 6 it takes only 1 hour. How could we set it up in the system?

We have considered using the formula field to insert the criteria, but we are not sure it would work with the production scheduler.

Has anyone had this problem? Would you suggest how could we solve it?

    Such criteria fields used to be managed in the former Gantt planning (until U9) but this is no longer used with SPS. In the future setup optmization will be taken into account but not for the moment. I believe the sequencing of the work order need to be done manually to optimize the setup time. With 4GL specific development, it should be possible to recalculte the setup time operation properly and resent the new setup duration in SPS.

    I just realized since Patch 5, you can display custom fields in SPS. Then the grouping criteria can be one of the customer field and be used to select operation with similar grouping criteria and manually pin the operations in sequence for instance.
