Traditional production planning and scheduling systems (such as manufacturing resource planning) use a stepwise procedure to allocate material and production capacity. This approach is simple but cumbersome, and does not readily adapt to changes in demand, resource capacity or material availability.
Capacity planning is the process of determining the production capacity needed by an organization to meet changing demands for its products. [1] In the context of capacity planning, design capacity is the maximum amount of work that an organization or individual is capable of completing in a given period.
Outputs may be used to create a Material Requirements Planning (MRP) schedule. A master production schedule may be necessary for organizations to synchronize their operations and become more efficient. An effective MPS ultimately will: Give production, planning, purchasing, and management the information to plan and control manufacturing [3]
Role of Production Planning in the Production Cycle. Production planning is the planning of production and manufacturing modules in a company or industry. It utilizes the resource allocation of activities of employees, materials and production capacity, in order to serve different customers. [1]
Manufacturing resource planning (MRP II) [1] is a method for the effective planning of all resources of a manufacturing company. Ideally, it addresses operational planning in units, financial planning, and has a simulation capability to answer " what-if " questions and is an extension of closed-loop MRP (Material Requirements Planning).
Manufacturing process management (MPM) is a collection of technologies and methods used to define how products are to be manufactured. MPM differs from ERP/MRP which is used to plan the ordering of materials and other resources, set manufacturing schedules, and compile cost data. [1]
The Enterprise South Industrial Park, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee consists of 6,000 acres (24 km 2). [1] Originally the site of the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense, a large portion of the property is now home to the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant as well as other industries.
Capacity planning of storage, computer hardware, software and connection infrastructure resources required over some future period of time. [2] Capacity management interacts with the discipline of Performance Engineering, both during the requirements and design activities of building a system, and when using performance monitoring.
