"Missing resource for operation '%1'." Why do you receive this notification and what can you do to resolve it?

"Production order '%1', subassembly '%2': Resource '%3' cannot be planned. Maximum number of attempts exceeded." Why do you receive this notification and what can you do to resolve it?

The standard report 'Planning Matrix' shows the capacity overview per resource for the past weeks, the current week, and the next 10 weeks, including the backlog and how long it takes to catch up on the backlog with the current capacity.

The standard report 'Planning List' shows the planned and spent time of all operations per resource per year per start week and end week.

With the MKG API, it is possible to establish integrations between your ERP package and third-party software. From the Smart Industry perspective, we are working on new applications and technologies, digitalizing factories and the supply chain. In this webinar, we will show you the current possibilities to further automate your processes via add-ons. As an example, 2 integrations are highlighted: Arkoni and McMain.

Planning production orders brings together data from all over MKG, such as operations and resources, but also employees and time registration. If an operation goes differently than planned, a notification may arise. What does such a notification mean and what triggers it? This article provides an overview of all planning notifications.

Internal Invoicing is a functionality that makes it possible to account for hours from one administration on a production order in another administration. This gives you insight into the actual costing of orders (hours actually worked). The administrative processing (invoicing) can be automated. This manual explains the design and operation in more detail.

The man-machine ratio (MMR) is the ratio between the number of hours a machine can run with or without an operator. For example, if half a man-hour is required for each machine hour, then the man-machine ratio is 0.5 (also known as man per machine). In ERP, you enter the MMR in the 'Operations' table for each operation.

To work with production locations, MKG must be properly configured. This article explains which administrative settings and tables are important.

With the 'Production Locations' functionality, semi-finished products and processed materials can be tracked during the production process. A production worker always knows where the semi-finished products have been placed after the previous operation. In this article, you will learn how to work with production locations on the Shop Floor.

After the technical setup of the Shop Floor has been completed, MKG itself should be set up so that your employees can actually start clocking hours. With this second part in a series of articles about the Shop Floor setup, you can now take the next steps towards an operational Shop Floor.

To plan, resources must be entered.

We describe how to work with the schedule. We have entered several orders and defined several resources, in this case machines. For simplicity, we do not provide explanations of the buttons, screens, and controls here.

In the process table 'Resource Group', a resource group can be defined. This can be used for reporting and for displaying a capacity overview.

To be able to schedule with a resource, the availability of the resource must also be specified for all days of the week and public holidays.

The capacity overview is a separate module in MKG that displays how capacity is planned relative to the available capacity.

In addition to production orders, calculations can also be scheduled.
