Hi,

How to use multiple work center for an operation. When i am using workcenter group, only one work center is selected.I want more than one workcenter from the group to be used for the operation.Can some one help me out?

Set the “Qty of Work Centres” field on teh routing to the number you require.

I guess you have two different work centers performing the same operation… You can use Route Network to handle this.

  • Activate Route Network in Parameters of Production, which is considered as the “Bottle neck” work center.

  • Create 2 operation lines in your Route, 1 primary and 1 secondary.

This will allow you to handle different cost prices of those 2 work centers when you do costing of your prod order as well.

Hope this help.

Hi,

To follow up on Khue’s suggestion which is correct, the only drawback about using a secondary operation is that the time for the operation will be ‘greyed’ out and dependent on the primary operation. Normally, this doesn’t pose a problem to users but I thought I’d point it out.

Cheers

Hi,

I would propose to generate one new workcentre which will have combinations of the machines/unites you are going to use for your purpose.
