For more step-by-step instructions on how to perform specific tasks in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, see our collection of How-To blogs. For more information on this or any other Dynamics NAV topic, please contact ArcherPoint. The advantage is that there are more operations being performed at the same time, as opposed to doing each operation when the entire lot is completed at each operation. The due date of the production order is and the starting date that was calculated by the system is, 11:39 AM.įigure 2 – Figure showing production order showing starting and ending dates Now, when we have changed the Send-Ahead quantity on the first three routing steps and refreshed the production order, we get a starting date of, 10:49 AM, which will result in a 3-day reduction of elapsed time.įigure 3 – Changing the Send-Ahead Quantity of the first three routing steps…įigure 4 - …results in a reduction of three days Keep in mind that the total ‘effort hours’ remain the same, but the elapsed time is reduced. Other names for ‘Send-Ahead’ are Split Lot or Overlapped Production.įigure 1 – Figure showing ‘Send-Ahead Quantity’ in Dyamics NAV To illustrate this, we created a Dynamics NAV production order for 10 bicycles using the routing from above. The purpose of sending material ahead is to reduce the manufacturing lead time. From the APICS Dictionary Send-Ahead is the movement of a portion of a lot of material to a subsequent operation before completion of the current operation for all units of the lot. From a production scheduling point of view, it may be advantageous to ‘overlap’ production steps to reduce the elapsed time to produce a lot of goods.
