VIEW ROUGH-CUT CAPACITY PLAN

This application displays the results of the rough-cut capacity plan generated by the Create/Update Rough-Cut Capacity Plan process. Use this inquiry to view key resource capacity and load by week and drill down to see the source of the load.

• You can select plans by MPS plan code and specify a cutoff date.

• You can view the capacity plan for a single key resource, all key resources for a single resource type, or all key resources for a company/warehouse.

Location

MPS Plan

Enter, or click to select, the master production schedule plan code whose capacity plan you want to see. The default plan code, P, represents the current official production schedule. All other plan codes are used for "what-if" scenarios.

Key Resource

Enter, or click to select, a key resource ID to include in the results. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to filter the results by key resource ID.

Cutoff Date

Enter, or click to select, an ending date to filter capacity plan data on. Weekly periods ending past this cutoff date are not included.

Resource Type

Enter, or click to select, a key resource type to include in the results. Leave this field blank if you do not wish to filter the results by key resource type.

Include Forecast Demand

Select this check box to include forecasted demand load in the capacity plan.

If you do not select this check box, load calculations include firm independent demand requirements (for example, sales orders and reservations) only.

Key Resource Load

Week Ending

Load figures for a key resource are summed up into weekly numbers. The end of the week is determined by the Ending Day Of Production Week value on the Configure MRP Report Print Options screen. Costpoint sums all load occurring after one week's ending period date but equal to or before the next week's period end date.

The current week may include less than a full number of days. For instance, if the end of week day is Friday, and today is Thursday, load scheduled to be consumed for today and tomorrow is grouped in a row with tomorrow as the end date. Past-due requirements are ignored in rough-cut capacity planning.

Key Resource

This field displays the ID of the key resource (typically equipment, personnel, work center, or vendor) referenced on the row. The key resource description displays in the field to the right.

Resource Type

This field displays the key resource's assigned resource type. These codes are set up on the Manage Resource Types screen in the Master Production Scheduling and Routings modules.

Weekly Capacity

This field displays the capacity, in the key resource's unit of measure, of the key resource during the specified week. For example, the weekly capacity could be 30 hours per week. This figure is maintained on the Manage Key Resources screen in the MPS or Routings modules.

Total Load Qty

This field displays the total quantity of the production load.

Total Load %

This percentage highlights how load for the key resource relates to the resource's capacity. The load for that week/key resource is divided by the key resource capacity for that week. Costpoint calculates this percentage.

Resource U/M

This field displays the key resource's unit of measure, such as hours, specified on the Manage Key Resources screen.

Demand Quantities by Type

Sales Order

This field displays the sum of production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, driven by sales order demand requirements for a given key resource/week.

Reservation

This field displays the sum of production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, driven by inventory reservation demand requirements for a given key resource/week.

Forecast

This field displays the sum of production load, in the key resource's unit of measure, driven by sales and UDF forecast demand requirements for a given key resource/week. If you do not select the Include Forecast Demand check box, this column displays zeros.
