Perform Capacity Requirements Planning
Explanation
This activity is used to start calculating the expected future workload of machines, labor and production
groups. You can perform CRP for one site at a time or for all sites to which you have access.
- In the Site field, enter the site for which you want to run CRP. Use the List of Values for accessible
sites. If you leave the field blank, CRP is run for all the sites to which you have access.
- Enable Stop CRP On Error if you want to stop the CRP process when an error occurs.
- Enable Include MS Proposed Receipts, if you need to include MS created receipts to the current CRP
calculation.
- Enable Include MRP Requisitions, if you need to include MRP requisitions to the current CRP
calculation.
- Enable Include PMRP Requisitions, if you need to include PMRP requisitions to the current CRP
calculation.
- Enable Include CRP for Labor, if you want to calculate the labor load for the selected site.
- Enable Recalculate Machine Capacity for Site, if you want to calculate the work center resource
capacity for the selected site.
- Enable Recalculate Labor Capacity for Site, if you want to calculate the labor capacity for the
selected site.
- Enter the date which you need to calculate the machine and labor capacity data in the Machine and Labor
Capacity Calculation to Date field.
The calculation can either be started directly, or scheduled, and will be performed as a background job.
Prerequisites
- The manufacturing plan from MRP or PMRP must already be complete.
- You must have entered the work centers you want to work with, specified the unit of measure in which their
capacity is measured, and specified their actual capacity.
- You must have specified if operation scheduling is done with or without parallel operations.
- You must have entered the labor classes you want to work with. When Capacity Calculation
Base is set to Individuals, at least one person connected to the labor class on the
site and that person needs to be available for at least one day in the time interval.
- You must make sure the shop calendar is up to date. CRP makes sure that the workload is planned for only
those days included in the shop calendar. Only workdays should exist in the shop calendar, so weekends and
holidays are not counted in CRP.
System Effects
- Machine workload per work center resource, load type, operation and workday is calculated for the selected
sources. The result in its most detailed form can be displayed on the Machine Load Details page.
- The workload from a shop order requisition is calculated based on either the
Manufacturing, Remanufacturing or Disassembly type routing
depending on the Routing Type of the requisition.
- If Include CRP for Labor is enabled, the labor workload per labor class, load type, operation and
workday is calculated for the selected sources. The result in its most detailed form can be displayed on the
Labor Load Details page.
