Capacity Requirements Planning (CRP) Features and Functions

• User-defined parameters for CRP runs


• Calculates CRP by contract or project


• Infinite capacity loading and forward scheduling logic


• Finite capacity loading and backward scheduling logic


• Load requirements can be viewed by order and operation, in real time


• Customized views of order loads (planned, allocated, or released)


• User-defined load reporting and inquiry periods


• Work center load requirements displayed graphically


• Available hours or percent capacity display


• Cumulative available hours or percent capacity display


• Creates load to capacity what-if scenarios


• Customizable planning periods and horizons


• Determines load capacities by machine utilization and labor efficiency


• Calculates date effectivity


• Work center resources can be included in CRP calculations


• Creates a resource profile with revision tracking


• Load reporting and inquiry (detailed and summary)


• Detailed load inquiries by planned, allocated, and released work orders


• Generates reports on CRP batch options and parameters


• Generates summary or detail reports


• Work center parameters can be set online


• Work center schedule includes tool information


• Multiple UOM for scheduled quantities


• Combines forward and back scheduling


• Schedules particular orders via individual load centers


• Reschedules and deschedules tasks


• Sequencing based on start or due date


• Sequencing uses priority codes as well as start and due dates


• Queue compression used in sequencing


• Groups operation sequences


• Online sequencing modifications


• Queue management and input/output reporting parameters can be set online


• Input/output analysis reports
