Routing Setup Question

Business Central/NAV User Forum

A production unit is having two machines. One is Mixer and the other one is Extruder. Suppose, 1000 KG of Finished Good is to be produced. The Required quantity of raw material is divided into N batches. So 1 batch contains 1000/N KG of Raw Materials, in proportion according to the Production BOM. initially first batch is fed to the Mixer. After this batch of mixed material is coming out of Mixer,It is fed to the Extruder. By this time, 2nd batch is fed to the Mixer.So here onwards, the operation is parallel.

So in short, the steps of processing batches are follows.

Mixer Extruder

Batch1 No processing
Batch2 Batch1
Batch3 Batch2
Batch4 Batch3
… …
… …
Batch N Batch(N-1)
No processing Batch N

So from step 2 to step n-1, the operation is parallel.

Suppose its taking 1 minute as runtime and 1 minute as setup time per KG.

How will we setup a routing for this procedure in navision?

Hi,

Have you tried serial routing with Send-Ahead quantities? - Have a look at the help on this.
