Sequencing using setup matrix

Hi all,
We are able to sequence based on setup groups using heuristics in PPDS (either ascending or descending manner) but setup time is not getting picked up during changeovers from one setup group to other, as per setup matrix.
Any suggestion

Hi,
kindly post your querry in the ERP- SCM to get quicker response.

Scheduling using Setup Matrix in PPDS

Hi Gurus,
We are using PPDS Steup Matrix for scheduling orders. We have scenario that from product A to B, there is a changeover. And after producing A or B for certain hours, there is a cleanout of certain hours.
Ex- Orders A for 5 hrs, B for 5 Hrs. Setup Matrix: A-B=1 hr and Max order ( A or B)=7 hrs after which cleanout should happen.
While scheduling , A(5hrs) (Setup) B( 5 hrs), this is acheived.
But result should be A(5hrs)(Setup)B(2hrs)(Cleanout)(B 3hrs)
Please give your valuable inputs. How to map extra Cleanout ??/ Should we ceate another setup matrix for cleanout?? Can system take multiple setup matrix???
thanks,
Priya

Hi Priya,
I think Your case can be achieved through campaigm planning.
Create a setup group 'PROD' in ECC.
Under setup group 'PROD' maintain setup keys as 'A' & 'B'
Assign these setup group and setup keys in master recipe.
Maintain the same setup group & keys in APO also and than CIF PPM.
Maintain the setup matrix and assign it to resources
Create a campaign profile for 'PROD' with no of chargers(Orders) as 7.
Now schedule orders by using optimization.
After that create campaigns by using campaign heuristics on the resources.Campaigns will be created for every 7 hours.
And then create cleanout order by using cleanout heuristics between campaigns.
By this you will achiece setup between products and change over after your max run length also achieved by cleanout order between campaigns.
Hope this is clear.

Using the PPDS setup matrix

Hello All -
I have 3 products A,B and C which are run on a single line during a particular week(day). We have certain set-up times when we move from one product to another. Here are the set-up times:
The sequence in which these products run on the line is decided by the plant scheduler during production planning. The production planners run heuristics and peform manual changes to the planned orders. They know which product runs in which shift but they do not necessarily adjust the planned orders to the hourly level.
What we would like the system to do is somehow incorporate the set-up times when we move from one product to another. We would like to see the the resource being consumed during the set-up time.
Also, we are not in a position to use the optimizer. So any solutions involving the Optimizer are out of scope. Just want to achieve this using heuristics.
To achieve this, I have created the following master data:
1) Created 3 setup groups SG1(A), SG2(B), SG3(C).
2) Created a setup matrix SM1 and set up the transitions for all the above combinations.
3) Assign the setup group to operations in a ppm
4) Assign the setup matrix to the resource
I then created 3 planned orders in production planning for the SAME day. All 3 have the same availability time 23:59:59 and based on run-rates we have different start times.
I have the following questions:
1) Which DS heuristic should I use to adjust the start times and the end times of these orders by considering the set-up times in the setup matrix?
The resource should basically be consumed during these setup times. I have looked at "Reschedule" function in the DS planning board but I get an error when I run this. Please see end of this post for the error. The message says I may not have free capacity, but I do. I am using backward scheduling and infinite.
2) Is there anyway the set-up times/matrix can be considered during production planning itself and not during detailed scheduling?
3) Can the option of "Schedule Sequence" work for my scenario.
Appreciate all your help.

Error during scheduling
Message no. /SAPAPO/OM043
Diagnosis
The system could not schedule an order, operation or activity.
This could have the following causes:
The resource does not have any free working time or capacity.
If you have set planning direction backwards in the strategy profile:
There is not enough working time or capacity available for scheduling between now and the scheduling date.
If you have set planning direction forwards in the strategy profile:
There is not enough working time or capacity available for scheduling between the scheduling date and the end of the planning area.
If you plan characteristics-dependently:
You have assigned characteristics to operations of the order that do not agree with characteristics of the resources on which the operations are to be processed.
The system cannot find any suitable characteristics on the resources and so it cannot schedule.
Procedure
Depending on which of the above reasons is the cause, change the following settings:
Change the working times and capacities of the resources.
Set the planning mode "infinite planning" in the strategy profile.
Activate the planning direction forwards or backwards and reverse in the strategy profile.
Change the characteristics that you have assigned to the resource.

Thank you all -
It was a mistake on my part. I was supposed to create a new "set up" activity before processing activity and make that relevant to set-up. I had the processing step checked for setp all this while. Now its working.
Thanks

PPDS: I have a setup matrix in SAP ECC 6.0, and want to transfer the same to APO using Core Interface.

PPDS: I have a setup matrix in SAP ECC 6.0, and want to transfer the same to APO using Core Interface. Has anyone done it before?

Hi Subhash,
Please open this link to see the details:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm70/helpdata/EN/89/bd3e42ce98033be10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You perform the data transfer in the following sequence:
Plant
Setup groups
Work centers
Routings
You check the setup groups in SAP APO.
You create the setup matrixes in SAP SCM.
Thanks, Marius

Extending the setup matrix use

Hi
we would like to extend the setup matrix use for the halb products now, currently we use the setup matrix for the fert products and it works fine. our fert = halb+packing, when extending the setup matrix use to the halb products what changes need to be done.
do we have to create a new setup matrix for the halbs or..can you pls share your ideas..

Hi, its advisable to create a new setup matrix for the halb product.
Ensure all the w.c on which setup sequencing is to be done are single mixed resource.
Assign the newly created setup matrix to single mixed resource
In the routing assign the setup group
Re transfer your PDS
create a test planned order in APO rrp3 and test if the setup group is arriving or not
You ca use the existing sequencing heuristics

Sequence dependent setup (setuo matrix) with pooled capacity

Hi all,
We are facing a problem in the sequence dependent setup. We have a pooled capacity in ECC on which we want sequence dependent setup happening in APO. In APO orders are required to be scheduled on this resource and this resource is the primary resource. When I am trying to do the Detailed scheduling the time from the matrix is the one in which there is no predecessor.
Is sequence dependent setup not possible with pooled resource. Is it the standard system behaviour or am I missing something here.
Thanx for the help.

Insted of making pooled capacity you better try with alternate sequence.
system is behaving properly.

Same setup matrix for both fert and halb products

Hi,
at present we are using a setup matrix in apo for fert products, which is built on the setuptimes/groups of the halb products.
can i use the same setup matrix for the halb resources, if we want to use the sequence dependent setup planning for the halb products..our fert is the combination of halb and packing..
Thanks,

replace the existing rules with one that does not specify the port [L3 rule].
However, you can't use arrowpoint cookie anymore.
And you can't use 'advanced-balance ssl'.
Another solution would be to use an SSL offloader to decrypt the traffic and have the cookie inserted in the https traffic as well.

Setup group and setup matrix

Hi Gurus,
Please brief me on the significance of setup group and setup matrix in APO and the effect of the same in planning?
Thanks,
Prasanth

Hi Prashanth,
Setup group tries to group products with similar characteristics.
Setup matrix provides the sequence in which the set up groups
can be executed.
Setup sceanrio is used in cases where in the time taken for switching
over from one product or group of products or category of products or
charactersitics of products which is called as predecessor to another
product or group of products or category of products or characteritiss of
products which is called as successor.
Say for eg, if you are having a scenario wherein
you need to manufacture products with low weight,
medium weight and heavy weight products.
You can define in the set up matrix that for switch
over from low weight to medium weight products for
manufacturing, the set up time involved in 2 hours and
the setup cost involved is Rs.100,
Similarly, for switching over from heavy weight products
to medium weight products, the set up time involved
is 3 hours and the set up cost involved is Rs.50.
Based on this information, system will frame a matrix
of information and use during planning.
Hope this information is clear to you.
Please confirm whether your issue is resolved.

ASCP with sequence dependent setup resources

Hi,
we're implementing Oracle ASCP in our company based in Italy.
Currently we're not using MAnufacturing Scheduling.
We also use Discrete Manufacturing in a constraint based plan enviroment.
We have a painting department with a painting machine used to paint many different items but with only 3 colors.
I would like to now if it's possible to let the ASCP schedule work orders for this department, considering that the resource PAINTINGMACHINE has sequence dependent setup (white, black, gray).
We don't want the ASCP to plan work orders in the following way:
for tomorrow, make 3 pieces of item A white, 2 pcs of X black, 1 pc of C white and so on...
we would like to have this kind of situation:
make 3 of A white, 1 of B white, 10 of C white....5 of T white....then 10 of X black, 15 of Y black and so on....
If we configure the PAINTINGMACHINE resource with 3 different setup type and we add some CHANGEOVERS with PENALTY factor,
will the ASCP plan the work orders considering this parameters or not?
We don't want to use Manufacturing Scheduling module, cause we are a not so big company and we would like to have the Planning Manager, plan/schedule the production.
Excuse for my english.
Thanks in advance,
Giacomo Poleschi.

No, ASCP does not support this today. You would have to use Manufacturing Scheduling to get the sequencing you desire. This is, however, a candidate for release 12.

Setup Matrix

We are using repetative manufacturing, I want to know if I can group all materials by set-up time - hence reduce change overtimes from one group of products to the other.
Can I use Setup group category & setup group Key with planned orders.
Thanks in advance.

1.Set up grop key and categroy will not help in the REM manufacturing table.
2.This setup group and matrix will help in the capacity planning only.Where dispatching can be done by grouping at the setpu group key etc.
3.Even that would complicate the things becuase again we need to check what things system has pushed.
4. But int he capcity planning table -graphical it can belp you to highlight the order by the setup grou key .
5.So if you are looking for a funcitoanlity of grouping the materials in the setup group then that is not possible.
let us know if you have anydoubts..

Setup Matrix and PDS

Hello All,
Can a setup matrix be used in combination with a PDS? I created a setup matrix and then went onto to create setup transitions and found that it is only configured to accept and PPM Plan and not PDS. Is this how it is or am I missing something completely?
Thx

Hi Vishy,
There is no rule which prevents usage of PDS for set up matrix.
You can very well use PDS data with set up matrix.
I hope there will be some configuration missing in your set up
to generate the required scenario.

TS4062 After using Setup Assistant, devices no longer appear in iTunes for Wifi Sync

I'm trying to fix an issue that is the result of a bug I disovered, and I'm out of ideas to troubleshoot. I'm hoping you guys will have some more suggestions, perhaps deleting plists or somehow resetting iTunes device syncing so I can start over.
The bug:
Using Setup Assistant to transfer data over from my other parition which had iTunes configured to sync my devices causes the new partition's iTunes to NOT show devices in iTunes. When I plug my device in, the option to sync over Wifi is still enabled, but unplugging it still doesn't keep the device displayed in iTunes. Unchecking Wifi sync, clicking Apply, checking, clicking Apply and disconnecting results in the same problem - device disappears from iTunes. But if you go to Settings > General > iTunes Wi-Fi Sync, the Sync Now button is not grayed out. Clicking it starts the sync, but it never gets past the "Looking for iMac" stage.
I'm in the process of filing this bug with Apple, but I want to include the steps I've followed to fix the issue so they know.
What I've attempted so far (in this order):
Quitting and relaunching iTunes
Restarted my iPad
Then forcing a sync on the iPad via Settings is the same result, endlessly looking for the iMac
So then I opened AirPort Utility, clicked my Time Capsule, then clicked Base Station > Restart. After the Time Capsule restarted and the Wifi was working again, I checked back in iTunes to see if the iPad showed up - it didn't.
So then I turned off Wifi on the iPad, Quit and relaunched iTunes, then enabled Wifi on the iPad and it still didn't appear.
Note that the exact same thing is happening with my iPhone.
iTunes 11.0.2
OS X 10.8.3
iOS 6.1.3
Thanks guys!

Not even deleting plists, essentially resetting iTunes, solved the problem.
In case anyone has troubles with this and none of the troubleshooting steps worked, here is your last resort, which finally solved the problem for me.
Use Terminal to delete iTunes:
cd /Applications/
sudo rm -rf iTunes.app/
Download and install iTunes
The iOS devices magically appear in iTunes, without needing to plug in via USB to enable Wifi sync.

How to use Setup Assistant in Logic Pro 8?

How to use Setup Assistant in Logic Pro 8? I can't find it! even in the User Manuel!
Also, where can we setup the monitor number like we used to set '2 monitor ' in Logic Pro 7's setup assistant
Thanks!

I've been using Logic on two monitors for years. Screensets extend over all the monitors your computer sees, you can position windows on one, or the other, or size them to fit over both, so you can happily have for instance an arrange window on one monitor, and a mixer window on the other monitor, or stretch a giant arrange window over both...

Barcode printing using dot matrix printer

Printing using dot matrix printer,problem with landscape printing

Hi all,
We are planning to use Dot matrix printers for printing through SAP.We do front end printing using Windows OS. I am able to get prints properly if it is a script form. In case of list outputs, printer is printing the text outside the paper.Only half of the text is printing on the continuous stationary. Actually document is to be printed in Landscape format. So printer should print data vertically on the paper,but it's printing horizontally. I have created sparate output device for this printer.My printer is TVS Electronics HD745 24 Pin heavy duty printer. I have assigned OKI341 as device type for this device.Any more settings I need to do to get printing in landscape mode?
