E9: Scrap factors

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I will give this possible solution to Engineering, but adding 50 new material lines might not make them happy.

I would do at Todd suggested and add the scrap wire as a separate material with 3 ft as parent qty per part with the Fixed Qty checkbox checked. 

 

Word of warning, if any jobs which have a fixed qty are combined using batching, it will add 3 ft for each job batched so you will need to “adjust” it once the batch job is created. 

 

Example:  You have jobs 123 and 124 with the same operation, same materials and you want to run both jobs together so you “batch” them using the Resource Group Scheduling Board (Actions > Batch Operations).  It will add 6 ft of wire instead of 3 ft (3 ft for job 123 and 3 ft for job 124) to the batched job it creates because there are two jobs having a fixed qty.  You would then have to go into the batched job (125) and change the wire quantity from 6 ft to 3 ft.  (If there were 3 jobs that you were batching, it would add 9 ft. of wire)

We load up a machine with wire.  And every time we load the machine, it eats up 3 ft of wire.  So it does not matter if we cut qty 1 or qty 1000…we will always eat up 3ft of scrap per job.

 

If I put a Scrap of 3 ft and select QTY….will that solve me issue, or does that mean I am scrapping 3ft each time I use the material

The way it works for us in E10 is a fixed number of units produced per job.  Then the quantity per parent comes in.  So a lot depends on how much wire goes into a produced unit.  If your units consume a foot of wire then scrapping three would do it but if the produced item has 100 ft. of wire per unit then scrapping one would use 97’ too much as scrap.
I think way it is supposed to work for this situation is use the Fixed Qty check box and then put 3 as the Quantity per Parent as a separate material on the operation and not as planned scrap.  Check out the help for the Fixed Qty check box.

We add them as fixed materials for setup and connectors for pull tests. If the machine operator has to do multiple setups or can’t get the setup right the first/second time then they have to do an additional scrap report.
