Detail Capacity Planning

For maximum manufacturing or service delivery efficiency, you need a powerful planning tool that validates your master schedules, material requirements, and project plans to ensure that your resources are properly loaded. The tool that closes this loop is glovia.com - Detail Capacity Planning.

Detail Capacity Planning At-A-Glance

Detail Capacity Requirements Generation

• Generates resource center loading and operation schedules
• Multiple planning cycles
• Concurrent capacity views
• Unique planning options by cycle
• Driven by user-selected work queue
• Work Orders, Installation Orders, Service Orders, firm planned orders, repetitive schedules and computer planned orders from Master Production Scheduling, Material Requirements Planning, or Project Resource Planning

Work Day Calendar

• By resource center
• Current and simulated mode
• Establish normal work week and non-workday calendar dates

Planning Options

• Multiple planning cycles
• Current or simulated mode
• Select multiple locations for planning
• Select work load source orders
• Planning horizon start date
• Definition of phasing periods and days in each period
• Options for finite or infinite scheduling mode
• Period load averaging
• Exclude queue times or move times
• Peg capacity to Project Resource Planning material and Service Item's supply order

Analysis and Adjustments

• Interactive analysis and modification of orders in work queue
• View order dates and routing operation schedules
• Revise loading factors and scheduling codes
• Review exceptions and reconcile scheduled dates
• Regenerate schedules and loading from modified queue
• Work queue includes current or simulated modes
• Optionally update source orders from modified schedules for closed-loop planning

Loading Factors

• Load based on labor or machine pace selection.
• Routings, run times and set-up times
• Scheduling sequence, move time and crew size
• Work center labor and machine capacities with effectivity dates
• Efficiency factors, queue times

Capacity Scheduling Rules

• Backward or forward scheduling
• User-defined scheduling
• Linear sequencing for sequential operations
• Concurrent sequencing for parallel operations
• Overlap sequencing allows partial completions to start next operation
