A client has the following requirements:

  • All work centers have finite capacity except the Drying process
  • the drying process can continue all day without any restrictions to how much product can be dried in a day

I have tested Finish Time, Move Time and Queue time - but these times only consume from the available capacity of the work center. 

I have read the Wik and whitepaper on APS, but not quiet sure how to setup for this requirement. 

Anyone has a similar process working? 
 

 

Normally, dry time consumes the capacity of a WC (because the product is sitting in the drying area), and we recommend Finish time be used as it consumes the capacity of the WC.

Queue and Move time do not consume the capacity of a WC; they extend the duration of the operation.  You should look at using one of these.


Thanks ​@angierowley75 - I will discuss this further with the client and see what they think of using Finish Time.
