Capacity Planning in Shop Floor Control
Shop floor control converts the planning data in material requirements planning into actual production orders and coordinates the production process with all the resources involved.
The main tool for carrying out production is the production order. The production order generates capacity requirements at the detailed planning level and these are dispatched during capacity leveling.
You specify the following in a production order:
What is produced
On what date production should take place
How much production costs
To which work centers capacity requirements should be dispatched
Please refer to the guide
PP - Production Orders
for more detailed information on production orders.
