Based on the supply chains that have already been planned (green check mark), you can see that you have already been able to save some time in planning thanks to the assignments in the decision tree, the automatic assignment of values from the logistics quantity framework, and the linking of breakpoints to areas thanks to ipolog.
However, for the previously re-planned processes and routes, you will have to work manually again here. In this planning step, the supply chain editor gives you the option of changing the supply chain of each individual part in detail down to the part number level, if required.
In doing so, you can maintain in detail storage areas, sources, sinks, means of transport, replenishment quantities and the stocks at each level.
After assigning part families to a default supply chain, this step allows you to customize the supply chains individually for each part.
For this purpose, select the "Supply Chain Editor" submodule.
An overview of the General Functions of the Process Chain Editor can be found here.
Due to the data quality of the logistics quantity framework and the assignment of the corresponding parts to a default supply chain, the majority of the required information could already be filled automatically, initially (for example, material areas, stops, etc.). The different inventory characteristics, which can be seen in the lower area for each process stage, are filled by ipolog with the help of standard values. Information on their calculation can be found here.
Define the missing values in all supply chains, disposal chains and grouping chains. You keep the overview by the red markers, which always indicate, if still an information is missing.
Tip: Use the sort and filter function of the different columns of the logistics quantity framework on the left side and the multiselect (shift + left mouse button) of multiple LOG IDs to speed up the input.
Tip: Switch between supply, disposal and grouping chains via the tabs or directly in the chains.
Overview of pending planning activities per supply chain:
- Floor Storage
- Route and trailer between "Traileryard" and "Goods receipt" must be selected equivalent to the other default supply chains (Route: "Traileryard_GoodsIn" and Trailer: "Truck_Trailer")
- Disposal process "empties LU" at the line must be completed equivalent to the other "empties LU" disposal processes in other supply chains (example High-bay Storage) (use the route "Empties" and the trailer "B-Frame", if you see the yellow exclamation mark next to the trailer selection, ignore it for now, the optimization will take place later).
- High-bay Warehouse
- The transport relationship between RouteStations and Assembly Line must be defined. Use the route "RouteStation Linefeed" and the trailer type "B-Frame".
- Disposal process "empties LC" at the line must be defined. To do this, select the route "Empties_HighRackbay" and the trailer "Shelf_trolley 1".
Tip: Make sure that the disposal chain "empties LC" is selected.
Tip: To go from the disposal chains back to the supply chains, click on the "Supply Chain(s)" button in the left menu.
- Supermarket
- Disposal process "empties LC" at the line must be defined. For small load carrier use the trailer type "Shelf_trolley 1" and for large load carrier use the trailer type "B-Frame.
Tip: Work with the filter system and set a filter at the "Loading Carrier Type" column.
Tip for the Pre-Assembly default supply chain: in Stage 2 "Pre-Assembly Cockpit" in your supply chain, the information about the material surface is missing at first. This must be set in the grouping chain (step 3). Only then can you tackle steps 4 and 5.
- Pre-Assembly
- Route and trailer between "Traileryard" and "Goods receipt" must be selected equivalent to the other default supply chains. (Route: "Traileryard_GoodsIn" and trailer type: "Truck_Trailer")
- The disposal process "empties LU" at the HighBayRack must be defined. For this purpose, assign the area (empties), the route (Empties_HighRackbay) and the trailer type (B-Frame) to
- grouping chain "Cockpit" must be defined (area "PA_Cockpit_06_ML", make sure that "SP 38" is selected as source). Select the last pre-assembly area where you have started your route. The shoring location is "Station_08_ML". Make sure to select the correct route and a suitable trailer.
-
- Route and trailer between "RouteStations" and "Pre-Assembly Cockpit" must be defined. Select the route (RouteStation_Pre Assembly_Suma), for small load carriers the trailer type (Shelf_trolley 1) and for large load carriers the trailer type (H-Frame).
Tip: As mentioned above, use the filtering features.
-
- Disposal process "empties LC" at the line must be defined. For small load carrier use the trailer type "Shelf_trolley 1" and for large load carrier use the trailer type "B-Frame.
- Allocation of racks: At the level "HighBayRack", assignment rack "Pallet rack" and at the level "RouteStations" for small load carrier the rack "DLR_Typ1_Base_field", large load carriers are placed on the floor at this level.
All chains marked in green are fully defined and will be included in the subsequent transport simulation.
Save your progress.
