I have a routing that has the following routing requirement:
-
1 tool
-
1 machine
-
3 employees
-
Two (2) employees are needed for four (4) hours to do setup and configuration on the tool and machine.
-
The run time on the machine is 100 units per min.
-
Once the machine starts it will run for many days.
Example:
When a production order is created, say for 1,000,000 units the routing time is as follows:
- 4 hours for setup for 2 employees.
- Machine and tool time is 10,000 mins or 7 days (1,000,000 / 100)
- 1 employee needs to look at the machine for 5 mins every hour for a total cost of 833 mins
Issues:
- If the Production order is running for 7 days, the 3 employees show as not available for 7 days.
- I thought I might use Resource Groups to do this so I created a Resource Group with all three of these resources. The problem is that once you create a resources group with a resource, you can’t use these Resources in other groups.
Any suggestions?
