Hello everyone!
The organization that I work for wants to being delivering material in smaller "chunks" or time intervals, instead of releasing all of the plant BOM material as soon as the WO is released. As soon as our production control person systematically releases a WO, all transfer requests automatically print, at which point he then delivers the entire packet of TRs to the WHSE, which then gets pulled & staged in a FIFO manner.
Currently, it would seem that TRs print by their bin location; this seems logical from a warehousing perspective as to minimize excess travel spent picking. However, this is contrary to the directive given by my organization's leadership. Therefore:
- What needs to happen or change to allow these TRs to print according to the operational step at which they are needed?
I'm somewhat familiar with the CompAll function in CA02 to create routings. Today, in hopes of coming to an easy solution, I worked with my production control & manufacturing engineering group on a trial; the intent to see if the TR's printed differently (by operation) if the CompAll function was used to assign components to a specific operation, compared to continuing to use issue statements. The trial unfortunately did not yield what I had hoped for.
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated, and may even save my career!
Regards,
Chad
