Refinery Manufacturing

Hi there,
I'm working on a project for a downstream company (no upstream production)
One of their business units is the refining of crude oil and feedstock into gasoline, asphalt and lube products
We got the downstream functions (primary and secondary distribution) taken care of with the IS-OIL solution. But there is nothing within IS-OIL for the manufacturing processes
We would like to introduce the PP-PI functionality for the finished good production and the integration to product costing
But we are facing a challenge here convincing the client to embrace it. We would like to know what other companies have done
Can anybody comment? Also, if you could provide a brief list of companies using PP-PI (and, if the case, any interfase with MES or MII) that would be great, so we can start a benchmark analysis
Many thanks in advance,
JL

Hello ,
Refineries are continuous process industry which involves mass balancing technique for arriving at production/gain/loss figure . As far I know there are specialized software for refinery mass balancing and they allow integration with process data control . These specialized software calculate all production figures (Production intake/output/gain loss) and push it to SAP (assuming SAP is book of records) . Now posting in SAP can be done via directly thru movement types or process order to allow product costing.
I am not aware of any customer using SAP MES for refinery

Best Practice for manufacturing Industrial Machinery in batch size

Dear Sir,
We have a scenario where we need to manufacture Industrial Machine in a Batch Size of 10 nos . These machines have multi level BOM and total manufacturing cycle time is approx 3 months .
We request you to kindly suggest us about the best manufacturing practices related process we should follow to address this scenario .
At present , we have been manufacturing these Machines on individual basis ( It means MRP run is done for individual machne and production orders generated are also on individual machine manufacturing basis) .
We would be highly greatful for the suggested solution pl .
Rgds
Sonia Agarwala

Dear ,
Please use the following functionality in your case :
1.If you are particualr to have 10 pc in each batch qty then keep the Lot Size as Fixed Lot Sixe -FX with Fixed lot size qty as 10 in material master MRP1 view .
2.As your approximate manufacturing cycle is 3 motnhs , then you can have MRP run once three months for FG and plan your dependent accordingly through MRP .
3.If you are following MTS cycle , then create demand in MD61 or you can create direct Sales Order in VA01 for MTO process
4.Run MRP with NETCH ,1,1.3,3,2 , planned order with FG qty 10 pc will be generated and you can convert them into Production Order in MD04-Planned order-convert to PO

Can we use batch management in repetitive manufacturing?

Can we use batch management in repetitive manufacturing?
If not, can we use classification or something else?
or what else options we have.
Thnx!

why not?

MIXING ORIGINAL APPLE MEMORY WITH MEMORY FROM ANOTHER MANUFACTURER

Hi everyone,
I'm about to hop on the mac train and buy a macbook 2.16GHz( the recent previous black model)
It's coming with 1GB of memory and I wanted to buy 2GB to add to it. I found a good deal for a OWC 2GB DDR2 PC2-5300 667MHz DIMM(it's one stick of 2GB).
Is it compatible to mix different memory makes and if so, is it also optimal? Would the optimizing power be the same if I used all the memory from one manufacturer or it makes no difference? Thanks.

As long as the memory is by a major manufacturer (Samsung, Hynix, Micron, etc) it should not matter.
You do get a slight advantage by using 2 of the same capacity RAM modules. (i.e. 2x1GB chips or 2x2GB chips). In practice, however, this performance gain really isn't noticeable. You have to run a memory benchmark test to see the difference.
I remember there was this supposed IT guy who claimed that different brands of memory "fight it out". Some of the answers were absolutely hilarious. Seriously, there's nothing that consistent about a single brand of memory. There are always variations, but I wouldn't worry about a thing provided the memory actually meets its published specs. You get variation quality with memory modules that aren't fully-branded by one of the major memory IC manufacturers, but there are some reputable brands out there (OCZ, PNY, Patriot, etc).
I have an iBook G4 1.42. For two+ years I've been running the permanent Samsung memory with a 1 GB Micron PC2700 module. I've never encountered anything that suggests that there is a problem with it.
I've also read the Intel specs on what the chipset does with memory sized identically. Apparently it can do that very same thing (memory interleaving) even if the sizes aren't matched. However - it'll only do that for up to the size of the smaller module, and the remainder of the larger module isn't interleaved.

New to the manufacturing world? Here's a resource that might help...

I've noticed that there are lot of MII implementors who are unfamiliar with the terminology, systems, and processes in the manufacturing world. I would definitely recommend obtaining this book and reading it from cover to cover!
http://www.evolvedtechnologist.com/section/books/in-pursuit-perfect-plant-a-business-and-technical-guide
It is written in a format that presents a manufacturing company from many perspectives : planning, operations, maintenance, and others. While an expert might find it somewhat redundant, I think that many of the less experienced MII consultants would derive great value from it.

[APICS|http://www.apics.org/default.htm], although not as popular as they once were, offers some education and certification (ie, CPIM). One of the courses "Basics of Supply Chain Management", which is available in [book form|http://www.apics.org/APICS/Bookstore/ProductDetail.aspx?CS_ProductID=4186&CS_Category=&CS_Catalog=APICS+Bookstore] is also a good start.

Can i use seagate goflex 3tb external hard drive for 2010 27" imac internal hard drive replacment if i take it out of the goflex case.do i need to format it before installation due to it allready having goflex software on it from manufacturer.

Bought iphone 5C on December. No additional warranty purchased. The phone keeps not working and the top and bottom right corners look melted. Can I send it in amd get a new one on manufacturer warranty? Or what are my options? Thanks

I Purchased iphone 5C on December 2014. However now it's very difficult to have it working. The screen is constantly not working and the right side bottom&top does looks like its melted? the cover I mean , which maked the phone slide out of its cover. I did not purchase anny additional warranty or insurance so I don't know what to do with it? Can i send it in and they can send me a new one under the manufacturer warranty or what do i do with it?
I Have alwa had an iphone but this 5c is making me never have one again. Thanks in advance

Each iPhone comes with a one-year warranty. You said it looks melted? That's going to be difficult to prove that you did not damage it, and it happened on its own. That is the only way it would be covered.

Excise Invoice Error in STO from Manufacturing to Manufacturing Plant

Hi,
This is a scenario of Intracompany (within a company) STO from one manufacturing to another manufacturing Plant. Steps involved are
ME21N: STO Creation with doc type UB
VL10B: Outbound Delivery
VL02N: PGI (Mvt Type 641)
VF01: Billing
J1IIN: Excise Invoice
MIGO: Goods Receipt in Receiving Plant
The problem is while doing Goods Receipt (MIGO) wrf Outbound Delivery in Receiving Plant when we refer the Excise Invoice (created in J1IIN) we are getting an error message as u201CExcise Invoice 2000000033 31.05.2011 of Vendor 1300003 does not exist for Referenceu201D
Customer and Vendor master for the plants as well as STO configuration seems to be complete but still we are getting this error message.
Can anyone provide some idea how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance

Hi
when we refer the Excise Invoice (created in J1IIN) we are getting an error message as u201CExcise Invoice 2000000033 31.05.2011 of Vendor 1300003 does not exist for Reference
If I am not wrong in J1IIN ,you get two number ,one will be internal number try to capture with internal number

Stock value for stock transfer from depot (RG23D) to manufacturing (RG23A)

Dear all,
The forum posts that I found are all relating to the process of how to do stock transfer from depot plant to manufacturing plant.
The question I want to post is relating to the transferred stock value.
When stock first goes into depot plant (RG23D), the excise duties (CVD, Education Cess, Higher Education Cess, Secondary Education Cess) are all inventorized. However, in manufacturing plant (RG23A), they are CENVATABLE and not inventorized.
In the transfer of stock from depot to manufacturing, how can we split out the stock value from depot and take out the excise duties to CENVAT in manufacturing plant?
If using Stock Transfer process (move stock from depot to manufacturing),
1. Create Stock Transfer Order in ME21N using UD order type
      no accounting
2. Create DO in VL10B and goods issue
During goods issue, moving average of stock in depot plant, will increase stock with the same value in manufacturing plant and reduce the stock value in depot plant. How can we reduce the stock value transferred to manufacturing plant by the original excise duties amount, and pass this amount into J1IEX? Is it done in this step or later steps?
   Dr Stock into manufacturing plant [this value by right, should be reduced as it consists of original excise duties in RG23D?]
      Cr Stock from depot plant
3. J1IJ- RG23D selection for excise invoice for delivery at depot
    no accounting
4. VF01 for proforma invoice
   no accounting
5. MIGO into manufacturing plant (capture excise invoice)- part 1 register. the excise duties can be manually keyed in based on the original RG23D entries when stock is first brought into originating depot plant
     no accounting
6. Enter Incoming Excise Invoice by J1IEX
     Dr CENVAT Input AED
     Dr CENVAT Input BED
     Dr RG23A ECess
     Dr RG23A SHECess
           Cr CENVAT clearing
7. Question: Where to Debit CENVAT clearing? In normal domestic purchase process of raw materials into manufacturing plant, Dr CENVAT clearing will be posted during MIRO time.
If this process is not the correct way to do, please advise the standard SAP recommended way to transfer from depot to manufacturing plant.
Thank you in advance.

You have to add the Excise duty condition types as a Delivery cost Pricing condition types in STO Pricing procedure and have used them in STO. In Pricing procedure, there is no concept of Deductible and Non Deductible. So, what ever the Delivery cost condition you add in Pricing procedure, the amount gets loaded on to the Material cost..To avoid this, a negative condition type needs to be inserted in Pricing procedure with a different accrual key.
You have to add One Positive condition and One Negative Condition type for the same. Negative condition type is to reduce the condition value from the Material cost during GI.
Try this scenario in development server and revert back with your observations.

Open Letter to Companies Selling/Manufacturing Monitors *sigh*

I just wanted to ask if anyone ever intends to make better screen resolutions?
Over the last ten years, resolutions have been yielding bigger and bigger pixels (fewer PPI), despite advances in video cards, LED technology, and operating systems.
I understand many users don't grasp the concept that the DPI setting in their display options adjust the scale of their GUI. I have no kind words for those people, because they have needlessly wrecked the market for everyone else. But to a growing customer base of geeks who like their graphics to be crisp, please tell me somone has some intention of creating something larger than silly 1080p for laptops and normal-sized monitors.
I have a laptop that is 7 years old (15.4" 1920x1200)--if I bought a new one, I would have to downgrade the screen quality significantly. I have two 23" 2048x1152 monitors that are both no longer sold--if I were to replace them, I would have to downgrade. Something is wrong with this picture. This is like new video cards performing at fewer FPS, or hard drives with slower RPM, or top-of-the-line CPUs with fewer GHz that what the made SEVEN years ago. Seven. Seven YEARS ago, in an industry known for rapid advancements. GPUs on average support up to or beyond 2560x1600. That's some room for improvement . . . Been there for a looong time.
I don't care if 16:10 aspect ratio dies, but at least replace it with something better instead of worse. If someone (talking to you, Lenovo) should EVER increase resolution instead of decreasing it, please let me know. When that day occurs, I'll be in the market for a new laptop and probably a new monitor (or 3).
Thanks. . . . Hear back from you in another ten years? Or will the precious 1080p get replaced with 720p by then?
P.S. You people who can't figure out how to scale your GUI DPI . . . I hate you. . . . >.< You set an entire industry back at least 10 years. And even if I could understand people complaining about the 1920x1200 on a 15.4" laptop . . . what about a 23" monitor??!! My 2048x1152 are awesome, but they could be so much better--and they're still better than anyone manufactures anymore.

I've read too many reports in the media from people more highly credentialed than Mr. Johnson to the contrary.
The analogies and comparisons are still way off. Production didn't get cheaper, the phone didn't get upgraded, no carrier's are subsidizing, retailer's are not discounting. Never has the MSRP of CD-ROMs, nor cellphones, nor HDTV's dropped this quickly in history.
I'm tired and going to bed. But here's your assignment. Apple's price decrease rate is 33.3% in 67 days. What would a $10,000 item cost at that rate in one year?
Actually product advancement and innovation are very much the central issue here. Apple has effectively "upgraded" the 4GB unit to 8GB and reduced the price by $100. It's all in how you look at it.
The real issue of innovation and development has yet to be seen, but the recent price drop is an indicator that Apple already has something "in the shoot" to be released soon.
I was thinking it might take a year for a new version of the iPhone to be announced. Yet, with the recent price drop, it seems they may be lowering the price on the original unit to make room for a new one. Which is my point exactly. Apple is so fast at innovating that they already have something new to release (that's my prediction).
They can't release something new and sell the old units if the "something new" and the "something old" are at the same price. It makes sense that the 8GB unit would drop to $400 and the new one will be $600.

How do I get an Apple License to add Mac functions to the keyboard my company manufactures?

I'm writing to inquire about the process for obtaining a VID license to add mac functions to the keyboard my company manufactures. I've called serveral numbers (Apple Support, Apple Software Licensing, Apple Legal, Apple Corporate, Apple Developers, etc as well as emailed all these departments and more) with no response or instructions on how to move forward. Is what we're hoping for even possible???
The mac functions we want to add to our keyboard are: the ability to touch one key to open the dashboard, same for the expose feature- rather than needing to press two keys- fn plus the F1-F12 key needed (this is a mac function that can be set up in the control panel on any mac). We would like our keyboards to be work in this manner, just as a mac keyboard would.
We do not need to use the Dashboard or expose keycap images (I already know there are no current licenses for those), just the functions.
Does anyone know the process for obtaining this sort of license? The cost? Any information would be helpful. I've been put on hold for over two hours, on several occassions, lead to empty voicemail systems that lead to no-one, and written over a dozen emails with only automated responses- none of which applicable to our question.
I just want to know if this is possible ! Please help!
Thank you in advanced.

"...you don't have to press two keys to do any of that on a Mac keyboard." That is our goal, we are not a mac keyboard, but manufacture PC and Mac compatible keyboards.... since we are not an apple product, to utilize those hot and media keys we've had to press fn first...
we want our next keyboard release to do as mac keyboards do and by that only press one button for those functions. We are advised to first recieve apple permissions to manufacture a keyboard like this.
Also, I have been all over the site linked above, I've emailed and called these guys several times (from the link):
Apple Inc.
Software Licensing Dept
12545 Riata Vista Circle
MS:198-3SWL
Austin, TX 78727
(also their phone is 512.674.2645)
No one there has been able to answer my question, or be able to offer any help regarding this type of license (contrary to the department name).
Thanks for responding, but unfortunately it doesn't really help us answer our question.

Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.
