Master production planning: rough cut capacity check using
resource profiles
The resource profile as applied in rough-cut capacity checking is computed.
Symbols:
| j |
index of production segment |
| k |
index of products |
| z |
offset time (lead time) |
| P-k |
product k |
| f(jkz) |
capacity absorption factor for product k with respect
to production segment j in offset period z |
The production structure is defined with the help of the graph
editor. Consider the following example:
The data assigned to a node are (1.) offset time, (2.) number
of production segment, (3.) capacity absorption factors. The number of units
of product i required to produce one unit of product j is assigned to the arc
from node i to node j. Upon leaving the graph editor the following form displays.
After pushing the button several times the result looks as follows:
