SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HIGH-MIX WHEELS FOR CAPACITY PLANNING RESOURCE PLANNING AND MATERIAL RESOURCE PLANNING

摘要

A system and method for enhance planning concepts by adding High-Mix Wheels to the feature set of existing SAP ERP/SCM system landscapes and may also combine planning concepts with an automatic material resource planning (MRP) and capacity resource planning (CRP) logic enhanced by factoring algorithms. This is the first time that MRP, CRP and factoring against constraints can be done in one single planning step, enabling better and faster planning results. Extreme tight integration of planning optimization based on Lean paradigm is provided that may include enhanced Lean Planning algorithms that extend rhythmic planning.

主权项

1. A system for advanced material resource planning and capacity resource planning, comprising:
a rhythm wheel designer subsystem executing on a supply chain planning system that creates an optimal rhythm wheel design based on actual production requirements and availability of production resources using at least one sequence optimization algorithm of a plurality of sequence optimization algorithms, selectable by a user; and a rhythm wheel heuristic subsystem executing on an enterprise resource system that initializes a wheel including planning parameters, pre-calculate cycles including netting and factoring, schedules a cycle and produces a rhythm wheel log based on the optimal rhythm wheel design for controlling a production manufacturing process.
