Scheduling multiple shifts in a single day

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 190

In the plant where Axapta is used, there are 2 shifts - 1st, 2nd

 We are trying to schedule people who assemble equipment. An
 assembly operation usually takes more hours than can be accomplished
 in a single shift. Therefore, people on the next shift take over
 and continue assembling the equipment.

 I have a single work center group set up that contains all available work centers.

 The work centers are of type 'Human Resource' and
 represent each of the assembly people. I also have 2 calendars
 set up - one for each shift. The work centers contain the
 appropriate calendar for the shift the person works.

 Whenever I run job scheduling for the production order it always
 uses a single work center and schedules it out for multiple
 consecutive days, scheduling only one shift per day. I want it to
 schedule both shifts in a single day - the first shift work
 center, then the second shift work center.

 After a single day of both shifts having been
 scheduled, then it should begin the process again for the next day
 until all of the demand is satisfied.

 Any ideas?

    Hi Corwin,

    Were you able to find an answer to your question?

    You should be able to do this by using the Number of Work Centers field in the route.  If you specify the group on the route and then specify the number of work centers as 2, it will cut the hours amount in half on the route, but when it is job scheduled, it will select 2 work centers and should utilize them in terms of availability on the calendar, 1st shift, then second shift depending on when it is scheduled to start.
