Using Alternate Method for Different Assembly Lines

Yeah, interesting.

So in my mind:

  • Line A makes yellow cakes with vanilla frosting
  • Line B makes yellow cakes with chocolate frosting
  • The cake part is identical for both (9" round pan, etc.)
  • If it gets vanilla frosting, the yellow cake is made and baked in station A4’s oven
  • But if it gets chocolate frosting, make and bake the cake in B6’s oven

The red team isn’t going to have the blue team’s cake in their oven.

OK, somebody watches too many cooking shows…

Anyway, yeah, it’s almost like each line is its own site (don’t do it) and the product group of the part determines which site it’s in.

Except, don’t do this with sites!

Well, I don’t know. Other than different part numbers for the same things.

Though, I’m mulling over phantoms as the subassemblies. But you said you don’t do that anymore. (Wise move.)
