hi hardi, This will realy depend on how you wish to schedule, reserve and monitor your capacity. adding to this, the data collection (feedback) feasability from the shopfloor, especially when you use job card journal to report hours.
1. if you use lines, then the line capacity will be dectated by the slowest machine. So in this case you will not be able to monitor bottle neck machines individually. 2. if you use individual machine as work centers, then I suggest you group machines with similar or identical capacities under one work center. this will allow you to monitor bottle-necks and manage buffers. As a general suggestion, I would use lines in process manufacturing, otherwise, in the case of discrete I would use individual machines. Hope that helps. --- In Axapta-Knowledge-Village@yahoogroups.com, "Hardi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dear all > > What is the best way to setup Work Center Group, if I have a > production structure like this: > > There is 3 Production lines "Line A1", "Line A2", "Line B1" > > Line B1 always get the input from either A1 and A2 > > in the Line A1, A2, B1, there are machines (example: Welding > machines, Press Machines) > > When I want to setup Work Center Group, what is better (in relation > to master planning): based on Prod.
