Used to describe planning for manufacturing facilities where the capacity of the machine or work centres is included in the planning of materials and labour. Infinite capacity planning does not consider work centre capacity
(Ticaret) (CRP) A process using demand from open production orders and MRP planned orders, and work center/production line rate and capacity data to determine over or under capacity conditions. A short- term, detailed view of capacity that verifies the feasibility of firming up planned orders and releasing them to the floor. CRP systems normally function as a capacity status report, without generating exception messages that recommend order reschedules or moving production to alternate work centers or lines
(Ticaret) Capacity planning systems that stay within defined capacity limits when loading proposed production schedules against resources. Finite systems rearrange the initial dates for planned and open production orders by moving them forward or backward in time as far as needed in order not to exceed the available capacity. Infinite capacity planning systems leave orders on the existing dates and merely show whether the load on a resource is over or under its defined capacity, without recommending changes
(Ticaret) Capacity planning methods that load requirements based on the planned or scheduled date and do not rearrange them if capacity is not available. Infinite capacity systems show over or under conditions based on calculated load vs. resource availability and do not normally suggest date, quantity or work center changes when resources are overloaded
(Ticaret) (RCCP) A high-level capacity planning system often developed at the family level that provides an overall check of critical resources and verifies the feasibility of the master production schedule and sales and operations plan. It uses a bill of resource for items or families that specifies the requirements for key resources only, as opposed to all operations as done on the routing. Resource requirements from the S&OP and suggested MPS are compared to availability, on an overall weekly or monthly basis, and indicate projected over and under capacity situations that could impact the successful completion of the plan
