Hello Experts
I want to model a scenario in SNP Optimizer where I have a single production facility and multiple product-customer combinations and against which I have their actual revenue, production costs, storage costs and transportation costs.
I am using Profit Maximization and putting the revenue in Non delivery field of the customer-product master so as to tell the Optimizer which customer is giving highest profits so it will try to fulfill the requirement from this customer first. This works fine if I do not have the PDS included in the scope of the Optimizer and Raw material is infinitely available.
I have two sets of products where one Product X is produced on one resource and consumes 1000 PC of raw material to product one unit of X. Whereas Product Y is being produced on second resource and consumes 950 PC of raw material to product one unit of Y.
Now, when I put the PDS in the scope of Optimizer and limit the Raw material availability - Optimizer always tries to produce product Y first and then X regardless of the profits I am achieving through various costs I have maintained. I tested this multiple times with very high profits maintained for product X but still Optimizer will product all quantities of Product Y and then X.
Please suggest how should I resolve this. Has anybody encountered such scenario?
Thanks,
