FAST Capacity Requirement Planning
Thanks to Fast CRP (Capacity Requirement Planning) you can instantly calculate the workloads and the capacity of the resources. This allows to pinpoint critical aspects regarding overutilization and underutilization along the planning horizon. Some interactive functions guide the planner in the task of matching loads with capacity, in order to achieve a feasible production plan in terms of resources and materials. This helps preventing bottlenecks and ensures a better balance between capacity and workloads.
Master Production Schedule
The MPS (Master Production Schedule) enables the definition of groups or item quantities in each time bucket, taking into account production capacity and material availability. Some leveling techniques and optimal safety stocks dimensioning help you define a production plan which better balances service and efficiency requirements, reducing time and effort to define an MPS that achieves service and stock levels objectives.
Sales and Operations Planning
These functions cover the Sales and Operation Process which sit at the very top of the whole planning process, and engage all the company directors. Starting from Actuals and Budget, and developing the new monthly Forecast, the system finds the best productions plans per family, constrained to the capacities of production, logistics and procurement resources and the type of productions of each family (MTS, ATO, MTO).
