Constraint based scheduling in Oracle WIP using ASCP
Hello,
Can someone help us know, if constraint based scheduling can be done in Oracle WIP(Work in Progress) using the ASCP(Advanced Supply Chain Planning) module.
What i meant by constraint based scheduling is:
1) Can the work orders be scheduled based on the employees availability to operate on these ?
2) Also, if the employees can be assigned to the operations based on their skill level & calendar shift ?
Here are more details about our requirement:
Background:
We are currently working on a project that uses Oracle WIP to be able to create Work orders & Planned Orders for our Plan to Build business process flows. Work/Planned orders are being created solely based on the demand & forecast with out taking in consideration of resource constraints. We are able to create as many orders as we want for a given time. However, we knew this is impractical as we don't have infinite personnel & resources available to work on these orders.
