Manufacturing

Daniel Riquelme
I have a question regarding task sequencing.
I have a route with a couple of tasks associated with it.
Every thing works fine when creating a production run of 1 unit, but when
selecting a larger quantity, each task repeats itself to build the quantity
selected, then the second task starts.
Is this behaviour related to the formula I'm using ?
If it's not, how can I get OFBiz to run the first task once and then the
second, and repeat the whole process until the selected quantity gets
manufactured ?

Best Regards,
Daniel Riquelme

If I am understaning what you are trying to do, I'd suggest to use the  
new "quick start all tasks" link in the production run screen.
Then you'll have a chance to put into warehouse (using the "stock in"  
field) the quantity produced; you can submit the quantity in several  
steps: in this way all the tasks will stay open until you have  
manufactured all the products.

Yes, but I won't get the correct fixed asset schedule or the correct
estimated end date.

If you need to get the estimated end date for each product produced  
then what you really need is to create one separate production run for  
each product you have to manufacture.

Re: Manufacturing

Daniel Riquelme
I'm not sure if that will solve my problem, I'll be more specific.
I have a product that requires two tasks to get manufactured. The first task
implies the use of Fixed Asset A, and the second task uses Fixed Asset B.
Fixed Asset A has the capacity of cutting 10 tubes per hour, and the Fixed
Asset B has the capacity of painting 100 tubes per hour.
If I put this tasks in a production run the estimated total time will be the
addition of time consumed by task 1 plus task 2. This is no ok because in
the job shop we could use both Fixed Assets simultaneously. For large
routings and large quantities the error in time is considerable.
How do I tell OFBiz to overlap resources ?

How about using an overlap factor in the workeffort entity ?

Re: Manufacturing

Daniel Riquelme
Is it possible to define tasks to run in parallel for a production run ?
