This table is used within the simulation-based experiments only (i.e., Simulation, Variation, Comparison, Safety stock estimation, and Risk analysis).
Inventory replenishment for a site is regulated by its inventory policy (defined in the Inventory table). For a DC, the required inventory is replenished by ordering the necessary product from a source in accordance with the Sourcing policy. For a Factory, the required inventory is replenished by producing the necessary product in accordance with the Production policy.
The Production table is used to define production policies:
- What sites produce products
- What products are produced
- What BOMs (Bills of Materials) are used for production
If a production site manufactures a product in batches, its Production Batch parameters override the Production parameters.
The measurement units and available currencies used throughout the scenario can be changed in the Units section of anyLogistix Settings.
Column | Description |
---|---|
Site |
Defines the production site. Double-click in the cell and choose the required site. The selected Site should be a Factory (defined in the DCs and Factories table). You technically can select a DC or a Supplier as a production Site, but such entry will be ignored by the system. |
Product |
The product that will be produced. Double-click in the cell and choose the required product from the list (it lists all products defined in the Products table). |
Type |
The production policy type:
|
Parameters |
The production parameters:
The values of the Production time per unit and Production percentage can be either fixed or stochastic (defined by a probability distribution). For details on providing fixed or stochastic value refer to this section. |
BOM |
The BOM (Bill of Materials) for the product. The source materials are delivered to the production site in accordance with its Sourcing policy. Double-click in the cell and choose the required BOM from the list (it lists all BOMs defined in the BOM table). |
Production Cost |
The cost of producing one product unit. If defined, overrides the defined Cost of obtaining a product. If a Production Batch is defined, it overrides the product's Production Cost. The list of available units comprises the units defined in the anyLogistix settings. |
Currency |
The type of currency that the cost is expressed in. |
CO2 per Product |
The amount of CO2 emission per one produced product unit. |
Time Period |
The time period during which the product is produced. Double-click the corresponding row cell to choose among the available periods (previously defined in the Periods table). |
Inclusion Type |
Defines the status of the given production policy.
