MRS is also capable of Work Center Scheduling or Capacity Planning. This feature is available from SP03 release onwards.
Before you kick start to test the work center scheduling functions, please make sure that all the steps described in Set up Planning board in 15 minutes! are completed. After that follow the below steps:
Step 1: Define the duration of work center breaks in MRS customizng. This is defined in: Set Up Scheduler Workplace->Define Breaks for Work Centers.
Note: This is an optional customizing.
Step 2: Run the work center transfer report /MRSS/SGE_PN_MNT. Enter the work centers that you want to transfer.
Step 3: Create new PM/CS Orders or PS Networks (capacity planning relevent) and save them. Maintain some relationships also between different operations / activities.
Step 4: Launch the planning board with transaction /MRSS/PLBOSRV with the orders that you have created in previous step. Switch to Demand Planning layout from the Planning board menu to see the work center capacity information.
Here, you should see that the work center capacity and dispatching information is shown on the planning board.
Step 5: Move any of the operations ahead in time. Trigger scheduling for the Order.
Check that other related operations should also move accordingly. Also, the capacity of the work center must be calculated accordingly.
What have we tested?
With the above steps - we have validated following points:
- The Planning board functions normally without major errors.
- The Work center integration is working fine.
- The capacity calculations are working fine.
- The scheduling functionality works as expected.
Troubleshooting:
- The work center cannot be seen on the planning board - Check that you have successfully transfered the work center as described in step 2.
- The capacity utilization of the work center is shown incorrectly for the old order - Save the order again and then relaunch the planning board. It should work fine. If you still get problems - raise a flag!
