175Hi All,
I've got an interesting scenario I haven't run into before and hoping someone here may be able to help.
The scenario is the following:
1. Green Beans (Raw Goods) are Roasted (Route 1, Resource = Roaster, Bottleneck, Finite Capacity) to create Roasted Beans
2. Roasted Beans are Packaged (Route 2, Resource = Packaging, Non-Bottleneck, Finite Capacity) to create Packed Coffee.
When I run master planning, I get the correct arrangement of the Roasting to create Roasted beans scheduled before the packaging of those roasted beans into Packed Coffee.
However, here's the wrinkle:
The Packaging lines use a variety of films as components depending on the type of Packed Coffee, but there is changeover time required in switching out one film for another. I've applied a sequence (Film) to all Packed Coffee to organize these together.
The Roasted Beans also need to be grouped, like with like, and I've assigned another sequence to these items (Roast).
I then created a Sequence group (Coffee) containing the two sequences (Film and Roast) above and activated all the necessary sequencing and time fences required for this to run.
My problem:
Now when I look at the suggested sequencing of Roasted Beans and Packed Coffee production orders, it's moving the packaging production orders forwards and ahead of their required roasting production orders.
Any ideas how I get the sequencing to retain the sequencing while aligning the timing of the two separate production orders?
Happy to post any required screenshots in order to get to the bottom of this.
Thanks in advance,
Simon
