Master Scheduling with Multiple routes & Master planning at same time.

ReportReport
Posted on by 156
Hi All,
Our requirement is as follows:
Routes – Can not Recognize that a Product can be Run at Multiple Machines.
Product A can be made with different process as a finished good with Route R1, R2, R3 , R4. For this different Routes R1, R2, R3, R4.We have different machine gets tagged like M1, M2, M3, M4. 
If we have Product A defined in this way, practically what users does is as per demand if raw material exists, Product A can be parallely used with R1, R2, R3 , R4.where as in D365FO we have a limitation to activate one route to one Finished good.
Due to this limitation, if we activate Product A with Route R1 it schedules only R1 all the time.
Example is as follows for a sales order/demand qty of 50 qty with 8 hrs of production hrs without no on hand inventory of item: 
1. Product A can be manufactured with there respective routes as follows:
    Route R1 with Machine 1 can make 1 Product  of  A in 0.5 hrs (30 mins)
 
    Route R2 with Machine 2 can make 1 Product  of  A in 0.6 hrs (36 mins)
 
    Route R3 with Machine 3 can make 1 Product  of  A in 0.4 hrs (24 mins).
 
If we have Master planning run, D365fo considers only product A with R1 scheduling for 100 hrs (8.5 days from sales order date).
Practically client doesn't do in this way, as he has 3 different process to execute with different capacities and routes he execute the best way possible and he could fulfill demand only in 3 days instead of 8.5 days.
  Product A 50 Qty
  R1 R2 R3  
Time to Mfg 0.5 0.6 0.4  
Qty to Manufacture 16 12 22  
Time to Mfg 50 Qty = Qty to Mfg * Time to mfg in hrs 8 7.2 8.8 24 hrs 3 days
is this possible in OOB or standard facility to fulfill client requirement ?

    Hello Krish

    I doubt Microsoft will develop this feature but worth trying.

    You might want to look at integrating D365 with a scheduling tool that might optimize the schedule for you.

    Hello, it is not possible using D365 STD functionality. You will need to specify which route is the active one and indirectly which resource.

    Even if you had to break down your concept of having multiple routes  and use a consolidated one with an operation that requires a capability which can be covered by different machines , you will still need to specify what the priority would be ( assuming the faster has highter priority ).

    Hi Hana,

    Thanks for your response. I am looking this feature in D365fo.

    I have multiple routes not multiple operations under same route, I am looking for a process of multiple routes with same finished good. So scheduling should happen as described below: can you suggest me how master planning schedules this ? If so can you share me that please ?

    Hi Krish,

    If more complex routing networks are enabled in the production control parameters, it is possible to define routings with multiple origins and operations that can run in parallel. It can be modeled using parallel operations, where one operation is designated as the primary operation and the others are designated as secondary operations. For more information about routing, please refer to the link below.
