Hi all, I’m hoping you can help me.
We run a sewing floor for medical products. We have various types of sewing machines and cutting machines. A routing might include several types of machines.
But the limiting factor for us is not the machine capacity but the labor. A sewing machine needs a person to operate it - one person can’t work two machines at the same time. And which people are skilled to operate which machines varies. Tom might be skilled in a ZigZag and Bartac, and Harry might be skilled in Bartac and Mauser stitch.
How do we setup Manufacturing such that Tom can be used as a resource for the steps he is capable of running, but not the steps he isn’t capable of running?
