Re: Production plant with two distirbution centers issue

Mariano,

thanks for the reply.. yes re palletization is not an option..

please see my reply to Julian..

"

from production execution side , yes we can do that batch charateristic..but how will I know how much should I produce for dc1 and how much for dc2 if I make it one part number?

right now scenario is like this

M1 - A : forecast in plant B : 300 pcs for week 1 (with suffix A, I know this will be shipped to DC1)

M1 - B : forecast in plant B : 700 pcs for week 1 (with suffix B, I know this will be shipped to DC2)

Requirement is to make just one material number M1 instead of suffix A and B

so future state will be

M1 : Forecast in plant B : 1000 pcs for week1

now, how will I know, how much should i build for dc1( on us pallet) and how much should i build for dc2 (on euro pallet)?""""""""

any ideas on how I can achieve this? I have one idea of using spl proc key of 40.. but just want to see some other experts opinions on solving this issue from planning perspective..
