Master production scheduling: rough cut capacity check using overall factors
Given a master production schedule for several products and given historical
capacity workload factors the rough cut capacity requirements are computed.
Symbols:
| k
|
index
of products |
| t
|
index
of periods |
| j |
index of production
segments |
| p(k,t) |
planned production
quantity for product k in period t |
| f(j,k) |
global workload
factor for production segment j with respect to product k |
| b(j,t) |
capacity requirements
for production segment j in period t |
Click on a b(j,t)-cell to see how the capacity requirements
are computed.
