Scheduling consecutive jobs

Is there any way MRP could schedule a job to be just in time, without separating it into multiple jobs? For example we have an assembly job for 10 pieces that takes 1 week to complete, and it requires 10 welded components that also take 1 week to complete.  I would like the welded components to start 1 day ahead of assembly, and then continue to complete welding at the same pace as assembly.  

I know I could create 10 assembly jobs, and 10 weld jobs, but I also have setup time that I do not want to multiply into my costs estimates. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Set both operations as Start to Start then on the 1st operation a send ahead offset of 24 hours - this should then schedule the 1st operation 1 day before the start of the 2nd
