  Hey Group.
Here we are running MRP and using CRP to validate the build plan, is it
  executable ?
We have several Dept. where the resources , labor are spread over
  multiple WCs.
To add variable capacity records to maintain vacation or know 'off time'
  would be way to arduous a task.  Before we automate this process of
  loading these records I was wondering what some of you out there are using
  to validate the MPS , and or Build plan after MRP generation.  Do you use
  an average, or try to nut the vacations to get as accurate a picture as
  possible.  Also as a follow up how do you manage the day to day manpower
  requirements?
We have Browsersized our CRP output files and had envisioned having the
  dept Supv be able to perform an analysis of overloaded WCs in his dept,
  and use various views, subsets to check for available manpower elsewhere.
  We do not have or use MPSP, we have a PC based FCST system feeding MLI
  requirements directly to MRP. So,  Im not discussing the theroy of 'rough
  cut' capacity planning,  but rather is the generated build plan executable
  ?
We are also using PCC and the worklist, but it seems to be awful time
  consuming for the dept. Supv. to shuffle the MOs to be sure all are
  completed on time.
Any input on MPS generated Build plan Validation methods and Manpower
  management would be appreciated.
Thanks Jeff Snyder, CPIM
