Some persons are shared for some identical activities in operations

Question

Hi
My client requirement is some casual labours are working as setup team who will be involved all the setup activities of different operations in different machines.
My client wants to capture them as capacity and wants to see their utilisation.
I tried by assigning them as pooled capacity in work center capacity category.
But the problem here is if i assign that pooled capacity of category 002,then i could not create the same capacity category 002 for that work center more than once.(Example: i have assigned pooled capacity on behalf of setup personnel,then where will i assign regular working(operating) personnel capacity for that work center

Answer 1

Sudhar,
Create a workcenter of Labour category and assign Individual capacity based on number of persons and also define can be used for multiple operations.
Create another workcenter representing Machine with Machine and Labour capcity for regular operators.
In the routing, define
Operation 0010 with the first workcenter(Contractors) indicating only the setting tme and the operation can be named as setting.
Operation 0020 with workcenter(Machine) indicating the processing time, and this is the real operation.
Hope I was able to give an overview of how this can be done.
Regards,
Prasobh
