Re: Capacity Planning using Multiple facilities

To break down the capacity for the same item made in more than one 
facility, use the DRP100 Distribution Relationship Maintenance program and 
set the "Relative Quantity" field to reflect the percentage that each 
facility will make of that item. In other words, if you have two 
facilities that make the same item, create the Distribution Relationship 
Relative Quantity to reflect the portion that each will make. The default 
value of 1.00 reflects 100%, so if one facility makes 70% and the other 
makes 30%, then the Relative Quantity for each record would be .70 and 
.30. After making your changes, run DRP500 for all facilities, then MPS 
and MRP for each facility. Then run CAP600. I believe you will see the 
adjusted capacity requirement based on the Relative Quantity. I have used 
this in the past and it worked properly. Good luck..

[BPCS-L] Capacity Planning using Multiple facilities






Hello,

We are looking for any ideas for the following problem we experiencing 
with capacity planing. 

We are setup as a 3 facility company. We can run the same product through 
more than 1 of the facilities. The routings and the W.C. are setup 
facility specific because of utilizing DRP and other functions. Are there 
any ideas or ways to compute the total capacity/requirements across 
facilities? 

Thanks,
Mike
