What is material-dependent production rate in SAP PP-FLW - Flow Manufacturing?

SAP Term: material-dependent production rate

• Component: PP-FLW

• Component Name: Flow Manufacturing

• Description: The control parameters for the takt-based scheduling of sequencing and are specified as material-independent for a production line. If the execution times of one material differ from other materials, you can specify a material-dependent rate for this material.

• Key Concepts: 
  Material-dependent production rate is a feature of the SAP PP-FLW Flow Manufacturing component. It allows for the production rate of a product to be determined by the material used in its production. This means that different materials can have different production rates, allowing for more efficient and accurate production planning. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use material-dependent production rate, you must first define the materials that will be used in the production process. Once these materials have been defined, you can then assign a production rate to each material. This rate will then be used to determine the overall production rate of the product. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When assigning production rates to materials, it is important to consider the cost of each material as well as its availability. This will help ensure that you are able to maximize efficiency and minimize costs when producing a product. Additionally, it is important to keep track of any changes in material availability or cost, as this could affect the overall production rate.
