Nav Manufacturing 4.0 SP2 - Capacity Setup: Oven

edmasto

We are a bakery! We have Nav 4.0 sp2 up and running great! Within our BOM's we have our ingrediants. We have 4 commercial convection oven that can hold up to 200 cakes at a time. Once the oven are running with product in them, they cannot be openeded until the product is completely baked. I need to setup these ovens as work centers or machine centers (it doesn't really matter) However, once the oven is on we don't stop it and it must run for at least 1hr. My question is how would you setup the work center or machine center such that jods that arrive in work center after the ovens have been started, we cannot just stop them and add more cakes. Also, cakes cannot be baked for 1/2 hr on Monday & then baked for another 1/2 on Tuesday.

How are the fields Min & Max processing time used in the configuration/capacity planning schedule?

am sure your question relate about schedulling of production in navision. in the routing there is setup time, run time, wait time and move time.
Send-ahead qty is one of the method that will reduce your mfg lead time.
As about maximum or minimum process time, they are only for information purpose.
let me describe what I understood:
the oven run time = 1 hour/ovens (200 cakes)
capacity = 4 ovens (run concurrent)

The flow of second feed to oven must use wait time 1 hours before it introduced to the oven. Because it is a batch job. One batch = 800 cakes.
So, if you have set routing, you must also consider to use wait time or just use start operation and set 1/2 hour as wait
time if you want to disregard wait time in the baking operation. What I mean here is that you create a machine
center name is start. Set capacity = 4 and create its calendar.

Rgds,

Thanks I will try it out and let you know how it works!
