Temporary shut down of Work Center

Question

We are taking capacity planning into consideration, and work center is
temporarily shutdown for a period of 12 hrs.
How to capture the temporary shutdown of the work center in SAP, in order
no production orders takes work center into consideration as available capacity during this temporary shut down time
Lastly, if shutdown time is able to capture in SAP, and fixing of work center
is less than 12 hrs (lets assume 8 hrs) How to chance dynamically in orders for the production orders
to consider the work center as available

Answer 1

Thanks for your inputs
We have not implemented PM module. As a work around, we created a
dummy production order (without material - c007) and assigned a operation to the
temporary shutdown work center, this production order filled the work center
temp. shutdown time slot (so, other production orders cannot use it)
Other Parameters we considered:
1. Backward Scheduling
2. Basic Finish Date (day on W/C is temp. shut down)
3. Basic Start Date calculated (From Routing Operation Mins)- Routings operation
   minutes maintained in par the temporary shut down time
4. Operation costs: 1cent/hr
