Applicable Process Steps
Capacity Planning and Evaluation for Discrete Manufacturing
Process Step | Description |
---|---|
Create Planned Independent Requirements | This process step shows you how to use planned independent requirements to perform demand management functions. A planned independent requirement contains one planned quantity and one date, or a number of planned independent requirements schedule lines, such as one planned quantity split over time according to dates. Instead of creating a single requirement, sometimes a requirements plan that includes one or more planned independent requirements can be maintained for mass processing. In this case, the requirements are grouped and maintained under a requirement plan number. |
Material Requirements Planning | This process step shows you how to tailor available capacities and receipts on time to suit requirement quantities. You can use MRP or consumption-based planning for this purpose. |
Check Capacity Situation | During MRP, planned orders are created and scheduled to meet the material requirements. This process step shows you how to check the capacities for overload on bottleneck resources. |
Apply Changes to Available Capacity | For the bottleneck resources, you may need to optimize capacity utilization by changing available capacity (such as adding or changing shifts). |
Conversion to Production Orders | This process step shows you how to internally produce the planned orders for goods after capacity bottleneck is resolved. |
