Perform Resource Requirements Planning
Explanation
Use this activity to calculate Resource Requirement Planning (RRP). You can
run RRP for one or all sites you have access to, master schedule sets and capacity
scenarios. You must also specify which master schedule level you want to run
RRP for.
From pages Sale and Operation Planning for Make to Stock
and Sales and Operation Planning for Make to Order
the RRP can be performed from tab Load Scenarios.
Prerequisites
- This activity requires that you have entered forecasts and run Master
Scheduling (MS). RRP is based on the manufacturing plan that results from
MS or from the forecast and demand, depending on MS level.
- If RRP is based on the sales and operations plan, new forecast, new
operations plan and planned inventory will be considered in RRP.
- The resources needed to manufacture a part must be entered.
- The shop calendar must be up-to-date. RRP plans the workload only for
days included in the shop calendar. Only work days should exist in the shop
calendar, so weekends and holidays are not counted in RRP.
System Effects
As a result of this activity:
- The system calculations show a plan indicating how well capacity meets
demands.
- RRP shows how the manufacturing plan affects factors such as storage
space, personnel, transport capacity, machine capacity, etc.
