Parallel sequence-Process Industry

Hi All,
Following is the scenario req in SAP
Stage-1: Crude prep- (Done in 10 reactors, R1, R2,R3......R10)-Parallel sequence
Stage-2  Pure prep- Done in single Reactor (P1)
Stage-3  Storage-(4 silos)
Stage-4 Packing
How to address this in Master recipe
Regards
Subbu

Hi,
Same Crude is manufactured in all the 10 reactors in the first stage
Raw material input would be given to the each crude reactor & it is simultaneous & output from the all crude reactor is mixed (Not measurable for each reactor wise ) in a single conveyor line to the next pure stage.
If you consider the crude reaction-10 hrs, since the 10 reactors are parallel, it should consider only 10 hrs for the entire operation.
They also need to analyze the resource wise activity entry details.
when I make 10 crude reaction as a each phase, it should calculate only the 10 hrs & not 100 hrs.

  • Scheduling of Parallel Sequence in Routing & Production Order

    Hello Friends,
    I have gone through sap library & many other threads related to maintaining & scheduling of parallel sequence in Routing as well as Production Order.
    For the example, I have 3 operations : 0010,0020 & 0030.
    I want to maintain 0020 & 0030 as Parallel Operations ( Parallel Sequence) i.e. for both operations I have maintained same lead times so that both should start & end at same time parallely.
    First of all, I have maintained all operations in standard sequence 0 all 0010,0020 & 0030 operations and also maintained tick in Required splitting check box.
    Same way , I have maintained operations 0020 & 0030 in Parallel sequence with branching operation as 0020 & Return operation as 0030. Ref. sequence i have maintained as 0 (Std. Sequence).
    Now when I am checking in Graphic it is not showing both operation 0020 & 0030 as parallely scheduled and hence same is not reflected in Production ORder as well.
    Kindly share your valuable views reg. what may be other settings for parallel sequence which I may be missing.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Abhijt,
    Thanks for your reply. I went through your thread & I followed same steps as mentioned by you in your suggested threads.
    I have removed Parallel sequence fully & maintained Required Overlapping for all my 3 operations : 0010,0020 & 0030
    I have maintained workcenters as below :
    0010 A  Set up 2.0 Hrs   Machine 5.0 Hrs   Labour 1.0 Hr
    0020 B  Set up 2.0 Hrs   Machine 5.0 Hrs   Labour 1.0 Hr
    0030 A  Set up 2.0 Hrs   Machine 5.0 Hrs   Labour 1.0 Hr
    I checked scheduling in routing itself same way you suggested with start date today's date & forward scheduling it gives following results :
    0010 start time 07:00:00
    0020 start time 07:13:42
    0030 start time 09:14:39
    My concern is with mainly start time of operations 0010 & 0020 since for both of these are processed on different workcenters A & B respectively then why not starting exactly on same time on 07:00:00 AM only instead another operation is starting on 07:13:42AM. I am unable to find how this difference of 13mins 42 seconds is coming.
    Kindly provide your feedback. Also let me know if you need any more details.

  • Process Industry- How to map the Scenario?

    Dear Gurus,
    The is a Process Industry, Chemical Manufacturing Unit, which does the following sequence of Operation to get the Semi finished material.
    1) Acid, TC, and Catalyst are 3 Raw materials
    2) Acid, TC and catalyst after being put into reactors, they Undergo 2 Phases. Crude and Distillation
    At crude phase, Crude is Produced. But they dont want to do confirmation of crude.
    At Distillation stage, Main Fraction(MF), a semi-finsihed material is Produced
    But at the distillation Phase, 2 more, Products are produced in conjugation to MF.
    These 2 Products are Lower Fraction(LF) and Residue.
    When these LF and Residue are produced, they again put into reactor and some qty of TC is added to achieve MF which again produces some portion of LF and Residue. And these cycle goes on.
    They keep these process continuing. 
    In short: MF is derived in 2 ways
    Acid+TC+ Catalyst=MF
    LF+Residue+TC=MF
    Please help me in mapping below Points comprehensively.( They want one Order Type for 2 phases.)
    1) How BOM will be made of LF and residue if I treat them as Co-Product??? Or some other technique in SAP can map it?
    2) What is the Step by step Costing configuration of Co-Products. I searched lot but unable to find the proper settlement rule of Co-Products.
    Thanks
    Shailesh Mishra

    Dear Rahul,
    As I understand that Co-Products cannot be subjected to movt type 261 and same i have tested in system. So, concept of Co-Product is not applicable here either with Recursive BOM application.
    The solution which we have found here is that Client will make one of BOM of Acid+TC+ Catalyst
    which will give MF. The concept of Reverse Calculation will be applied. Daily product of LF and Residue will be extrapolated at the Month end. And the LF and residue Quantity will be tracked not from system. Only during month end, LF and Residue Physical Inventory will be taken and it will be treated as Raw materials So, in the Running Process Order 262 will be done of So-called LF and residue. Stock Up(+)
    And same Qty of LF and residue will be subjected to 261(Stock Down-) in the next month New Order in form of Raw material.
    So cycle of 261 and 262 of LF and residue in form of Raw materials will be Perpetual and settlement of orders will also be sacrosanct.
    Best regards
    Shailesh

  • The deleted operation affects the confirmed yield of the parallel sequence

    there is a production order.
    the control key of the last operation is PP03,and it's confirmation is : Milestone confirmation.
    and the production order has a parallel sequence,a external processing operation.
    but i marked the external processing operation deleted.
    then i confirm the last operation,and it's sysstatus is CNF
    but the parallel sequence operation is not CNF.
    WHY?

    Dear,
    did you delete the operatrion after release or before the release?

  • Parallel Sequence Routing using RCPTRA01

    Hi all,
           I've a requirement where i need to Upload Parallel Sequence Routing .  I'm using RCPTRA01 for  created Standard Sequence Routing . Can anyone help me how to Upload Parallel Sequence Routing  using RCPTRA01.

    Two ways.
    1.  Use the parallel sequences you have created and apply 1/2 the time required to process a part to each operation.
    2.  Use a single sequence and create the first operation with 1/2 the time and a second operation immediately following with overlapping and zero offset time.

  • Error in schedulinq parallel sequences with flow production operations

    We have a routing with a standard sequence with operations in wich we have set "Continuous flow prod"
    and "Min. Send-Ahead Qty=1".
    We have a parallel sequence as well with operations set in the same way "Continuous flow prod"
    and "Min. Send-Ahead Qty=1".
    When you run the transaction "MD11" to create a planned order for the item the scheduling of the operations is correct
    as regard the standard sequence,the system, correctly,  schedules the operations overlapping
    them according to lead time set in the operation details.
    But the last operation of the parallel sequence is scheduled to finish the whole lot before the operation
    following the "return operation" . The system doesn't overlap this operation. In this way the
    last item of the last operation (in the parallel sequence) isn't finished at the same time
    with the last item of the "return operation" (in the standard sequence) as we like it would be.
    We have set "Backwards scheduling" type on customizing and we use the "Alignment key= 2 "
    for standard sequence and in the parallel as well. We have also tryed to set "Alignment key= 1"
    in the parallel sequence but the results are howewer not correct.
    In conclusion the schedulation of  continuous flow production operations
    doesn't work properly between operations belonging to parallel sequences.
    Could you suggest me what to do?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
      I tried with 5 ops 10, 20, 30 ,40,50 ( same work center  wc1)
      Set up time 1, Process time 1min for 1 pc
      set the continuous flow prodn i at op 20 with min send ahead qty 1
      Also a parallel seq was created with 3 ops op20 ,30 , 40 .
      set up time was 2 min for all work centers( same work center wc2) and proc time
      time is 1 min for  1 pc
      In that set the  continuous flow prodn at op 20 with min send ahead qty 1
      sceduling type was forward
    .Alignment key was 2 for both std seq and parallel seq .
      After scheduling found that op 20 in std seq starts at 6.14am and op 40 ends
      at 6.47 am where as in parallel seq op 20 starts at 6.11 am and op 40 ends at
      at 6.47 am which is correct.( branch op is 20 and return op is  40)
      The three minutes late start in op 20 of std seq  is due to 3 minutes extra time
      defined for three  work centers setup time.
      I also tried with alignment key 1in both std seq and parellel seq.
    Kindly check that you have maintained the continous flow prodn radio button
    in the same operation in both std seq and parallel seq.

  • Multiple instances of TS Engine or parallell sequences

    Is it really possible to start two or more instances of TS Engine from lets say C# ?
    Or are the way of parallell sequences in TS instead a better way to proceed?
    In that case, I presume that it's possible to communicate with each sequence separately.
    Does anybody have a small sample of that?

    TestStand will only create one instance of the Engine per process.  If you attempt to create more than one Engine, it will return a reference to teh same one.  If you want to run sequences in parallel, you can do this with one Engine.  You may want to look at the Simple C# Operator Interface to get started.  It is located in the <TestStand>/OperatorInterfaces/NI/Simple/CSharp directory.

  • Difference between parallel sequence and parallel operation in a routing.

    Hi Experts,
    Can any one explain me with example the difference between parallel sequence and parallel operation in a routing? wHEN CAN WE USE PARALLEL OPEARTION AND PARALLEL SEQUNCE WITH COMPONENT ALLOCATION.
    Regards
    Deepak sharma

    I think u need to modify ur quest... i think u r asking about Parallel sequence and alternate seq. Below are the details from SAP site.
    A parallel sequence enables you to process several operations at the same time.
    You use an alternative sequence for example, if
    --The production flow is different for certain lot-size ranges
    For instance you can machine a work piece on conventional machine or on NC machines. A NC machine has a longer set-up time than a conventional machine. However the machining costs are considerably less. Therefore whether you use NC machines will depend on the lot size.
    ---The production flow changes under certain business conditions.
    For instance, if you have a capacity problem, you have some production steps performed externally by a vendor.

  • Confirmation of parallel sequence operation.

    Hello friends,
    I want to do confirmation of parallel sequence operation. I use 3 or5 work centers  at a time for doing one operation. So i have defined parallel sequences for standard sequence. When I do confirmation of quantity and activity time in CO11N for one parallel sequence, other sequence quantity and activity time should be decreased. But system takes actual  quantity and time.
    How to make settings , so that  quantity and activity values should be decreased automatically for next parallel sequence.
    Waiting for Reply!

    Dear ,
    You are not able get the paralle sequence operation in CO11N because production order will copy the Routing based on the Order Type dependent paramter-OPL8-Routing  set up.
    Here , basically , you might have chkeced Alternative Sequence  and Sequence Exchange field (0)  , so while creation production order , routing with operation which are in alternative sequnce will be copied  and will be used in CO11N confirmation.
    2.You need to maintain "Operation Sequence is not checked " for operation sequence for the Ordertype/Plant combination in confirmation parameters using transaction OPK4.-Confirmation parameters of Order

  • How to use parallel sequence for split the operation qty. urgent or other o

    PP guru
    My scenario is as follows.
    I ve one material suppose…xyz.
    For that material I' ve created bom, routing.
    In routing I' ve mention only one operation. 0010.
    Now I' ve the production order of 1000 kg.
    I want to use two work centers to run this production order. ( e.g.work center a and b)
    In routing I used work center a.
    In short I want split that operation.
    So what I ve to do or use parallel sequence and how???
    or else is there any other option to split the order to two or more machines/work center?
    Pls explain me in brief.
    Regards,
    Ram

    Hi,
      If you want to carry the production with two different work centers , first you need to split the operation qty.
    For this in the order type dependent parameters OPL8
    in the controlling tab page enable the indicator Cost collector
    and set the default rule as PP2.
      Create a Product cost collector with KKF6N.
       Now in the production order , select the operation and choose functions--->>> split.
       Now enter the operation split quantity and execute.
       Now in MD04 you can see two production order.
       In the second production order change the work center in the operation overview as desired and save.

  • Can LabVIEW global variables be shared between UUT sequence steps in the parallel sequence model?

    Sorry for this simple question,  I'm having a hard time finding this answer.
    If I launch a sequence to run on two UUTs in the parallel sequence module,   can I get both UUTs to run LabVIEW vis that use global variables such that :
    1) UUT 0  executes 20 LabVIEW Vi  steps asynchronously,  5 of which access data from LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
    2) UUT 0 executes the same 20 LabVIEW based steps asynchronously  5 of which access data from then same LabVIEW global variables A, B, C (Strings)
    I am a little worried that using file globals may have some delays or more of a race condition than using native LabVIEW global variables like in a single labview application perform.  
    QUESTION 2:  Are file globals actually written to the hard drive and shared between parallel sequences through file transfer?  OR  are they in memory?
    Brad Whaley
    LabVIEW Certified Engineer

    Hi bdwhaley,
    Are your parallel sequences only reading from the global variable? Or are they writing to the variable as well? If it is just reading, then you should be okay. File globals are read from memory. Every time they are read, a copy of the data is made in memory.

    1.Batch manegment can  form significant part of Process Industry.
    2.Recurring inspection is also  huge part of Process Industry
    3.Inspection points along with sample drawing procedure in Inspection planning can be used in process industry.
    4.Shelf life material as you mensioned is significant.-->stability study
    5.Instead of Production orders Process order are used in Process industry.

  • How to use parallel sequence in capacity planning.

    How we can use parallel seq in capacity planning?we have two machines which can be run parallel for production ,now how  to distribute capacity load? suppose for the production of 100 km,we required 1000 min when it is produced through only one machine.Now if 2 machines are used simultaneously we required 500 min.How to see this in capacity planning?

    Dear,
    For calculating Available capacity you have options like minimum capacity, normal capacity and maximum capacity. You can select this option in work center-capacity tab for individual capacity category.
    With parallel sequence and with both machines you can select maximum capacity option and plan your capacity.
    Hope this is helpful.
