Production Scheduler - model question
I'm new to PS, and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have a requirement to model a production process that includes a machine (fryer) and a group of resources (oils), and I'm a bit stuck on the concept of blended oils.
In this production environment, a complete changeover of the oil in the fryer is to be avoided at all costs - it wastes oil, and reduces the temperature of the fryer. So the ideal production schedule would recognize that there are some finished goods that can only be produced in one oil (Oil A) and some that can be produced in a range of oils (Oil A, Oil B, Oil D - not Oil C). Jobs would be scheduled so that the fryer begins with Oil A, and all products that require A, and A alone, are produced. Then Oil B
