Overview
The production planning scenario describes the processes chain, which includes the processes of production requirements analysis, capturing of production plans from each floor and plant, taking into account the available capacities and technologies used, consolidation, and plan adjustments. The master plan is primarily concerned with alignment with the sales and purchase plan. The main focus is only on one resource - the available production capacity. Therefore, the process does not consider the availability of materials, labor time, semi-finished products, instead the process is looking for capacity gap solutions in a particular plant, returning unfeasible production requirements back to master planning.
