What you probably want to do is set up each press as its own workcenter. You
can perform different operations than what is set up for the workcenter. The
operation can be changed when entering the job. IF 2 of the
presses(machines) are really identical then you could have the 2 presses as
1 workcenter. Within a workcenter you can set up Alternative Machines as
well. How do you try to schedule now? Do you want to have a schedule for
each press? Does the person setting up the jobs or doing the scheduling know
which jobs can be moved to the different presses?

Subject: [Vantage] Visual Scheduling and workcenters
We are new to eManufacturing. We are on version 5.0 and just getting
started. We are struggling with setting up our workcenters. We have
12 presses. Certain parts can only be run on certain presses. Some
parts can be run on an alternate press but not all parts. It would
appear we need a unique operation and a unique workcenter for each
part. If that is true then we might end up with 60 workcenters. How
would the schedule know how to schedule the jobs based on the fact
there there are still only 12 presses? I don't know if this makes
sense but we are really having a hard time with this. If it is too
difficult to be written I can be contacted at 630/587-7098. Thanks.
