Repetitive Manufacturing (RPT)
The Repetitive Manufacturing module manages the production of standard products that are produced in large
quantities. This module provides a simplified procedure for the production
orders in the Shop Floor Control module.
The Repetitive Manufacturing module allows the control of orders for standard
anonymous and standard-to-order items. Production is planned an carried out
through a schedule, which consists of planned and actual orders with end dates
that coincide with a specific period. Production orders are planned based on
the capacity of the work center that controls the production rate (bottleneck
work center). Production orders are consolidated for the schedule, and then
production is controlled by the schedule.
You can process the production data by using production schedules. The
production schedule lines are generated by the following modules:
- Master Planning module in Enterprise Planning
- Order Planning module in Enterprise Planning
- Shop Floor Control module
in Manufacturing
- Warehouse Orders module
in Warehousing
This process is only for
order lines relating to repetitive items (RPT
items), which you specify in the Item Production Data module. The order type is
determined by the module that generated the order. After you release the order,
the order status is Released and the order
type is set to SFC, regardless of the module that generated the order. You can
process an SFC order with a Released status in the Repetitive Manufacturing and Shop Floor Control modules. The shortest route, however, is the RPT procedure.
