Co Production

Overview

Co-production happens when certain production methods produce more than one product on a resource.

For example below: WHITE-YELLOW-METHOD will produce 80% WHITE paint and 20% YELLOW paint.

Setup

To incorporate co-production, you need to include Co-Production Coefficients for your products or groups on the different lines it can be produced.

This needs to be included in the spreadsheet connector or setup in IBP before creating the scenario. Then you run your scenario with your selected constraints.

Below is an example with Co-Production Coefficients inputs for production methods

Output

The example above produces BEEF and ONION at the same time on Line 1 as shown below in the output sequence
