Using an alternative Work Center
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For many manufacturing companies, a common issue is to have to
|
||
|
|
manufacture, at the same time, several products usually produced at the
|
||
|
|
same work center. If in practice, employees can manufacture the goods at
|
||
|
|
another work center, it is not that simple.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to keep track of the job: which work center has been used and
|
||
|
|
when, so you can schedule maintenance efficiently. With Odoo, you can
|
||
|
|
configure it so you can keep tracking manufacturing orders and your
|
||
|
|
employees have an alternative work center to use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This way, your process becomes more efficient, and less non-productive
|
||
|
|
time will be noticed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Configure your Work Centers
|
||
|
|
===========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The first thing to do is to go to the *Manufacturing* app settings.
|
||
|
|
Then, enable the *Work Orders* feature and hit save.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, go to the *Work Centers* menu under *Master Data* and create
|
||
|
|
two new work centers. Add the second work centers as an alternative to
|
||
|
|
the first and vice versa.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
:align: center
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The next step is to create your *routing*. Add your work center and an
|
||
|
|
operation to it before saving.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
:align: center
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then, you can create your *Bill of Materials* and add components and
|
||
|
|
routing to it.
|
||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create your Work Orders
|
||
|
|
=======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now that everything is configured, you can create your *Work Orders*.
|
||
|
|
Go to the *Manufacturing Orders* menu and hit *Create*. There, add
|
||
|
|
your product and plan it. In the *Work Orders* list, you can find it
|
||
|
|
ready to be assembled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
:align: center
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each new *Work Order*, which will be created before the end of the
|
||
|
|
first one, will be scheduled at the alternative work center you
|
||
|
|
configured.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. note::
|
||
|
|
Keep in mind that, if you add time after production to your work center,
|
||
|
|
you may have work orders scheduled for your alternative work center even
|
||
|
|
if the usual one is free.
