We have used Vantage scheduling for many years, though we have never owned the MRP module. We purchase material and subcontract directly to jobs. We have estimated setup and Production hours per piece at each job operation, which you will need if you intend to schedule your jobs. --Jill
I was just hired by a company who has been utilizing Vantage for a few years for there ERP. They did not purchase the MRP and was not utilizing the ERP correctly. Because they did not purchase the MRP they have been moving jobs and material manually. There inventory in the system is not correct and no cycle times, piece counts are available.
They are now attempting to again launch the system, this time they would like to start using the scheduler. Will it be possible to use the scheduler without the MRP being purchased, where should i start setting up the scheduler.
They are two completely separate entities, the only thing shared between them is the use of the scheduling algorithm. I’d start by setting up your resource groups, operations and methods of manufacturing (assuming you have repeat work). You can by all means manually create all your jobs and either get details or create your routes on the fly. Were you thinking of controlling your shop floor using finite or infinite methods? How many jobs are released and completed on average per week?

We would be using finite, the number of jobs released varies. I have asked for an average and no one is able to give me this information.
We do a lot of customization some parts are standards but it seems a lot of the jobs sold now are coming in are custom.
You wouldn’t happen to be in Southern California would you?
Our next user group meeting will be to discuss MRP and scheduling… how to set it up how to run it… all the different scenarios…
I think we’re getting a couple of speakers… from Epicor and consultants…
Its on the 28th of this month, if you can make it, it would be very beneficial for what you are trying to do.
