RE: MPS - Customer Demand and General ECL Date Questions

Rob It sounds as though you may need some queue time in router in order
to match your Mfg time from router with lead time in MRP. BPCS 4.05CD

Also on 4.05CD and planning on visiting Al Mac, though he doesn't know
it
yet :)

I have a very closely-related question.  Knowing the restrictions on
lead-time fields (shop calendar vs. calendar year), how does BPCS
schedule
stuff?  That sounds like a stupid question, but when using capacity
planning, etc., is it using the calculated manufacturing times from the
router or just the lead time on the item master/CIC file?  In my case,
the
actual manufacturing time for, say, a batch of 100 pieces (which is
actual
lot size, in general) is relatively short - less than 8 hours.  BPCS
wants
to release the shop order on the same day it's due, even though the lead
time stated on both the item master and CIC files is 7 days (to account
for
capacity shortfalls, manning issues, etc.)

Thanks - Rob
