Hello,
How can I run what is commonly called a trial kit in manufacturing; i.e. how many of a finished product can I make from the components and sub-assemblies I currently have on hand?
Let's say my finished product is a chair which has:
- 4 legs
- 1 seat
- 1 seat back
If I have in stock:
- 16 legs
- 3 seats
- 4 seat backs
then I would be able to produce 3 chairs because I have enough legs and seat backs for 4 chairs but only enough seats for 3 chairs.
My finished products and sub-assemblies are configured with reordering rules (not MTO). We are currently not using the Master Production Schedule; I've had a look at this video about Master Production Schedule but I don't see it addressing this particular requirement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5DDcPepPiY. We are currently using v16 enterprise edition. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
