Capacity Loading & Bottleneck Mitigation
Missed customer delivery commitments frequently trace back to over-allocated bottleneck work centers. CRP generates clear load profiles per work center to prevent plant overloading.
Highlights:
- Nominal vs. Effective Capacity: Factoring planned maintenance, shifts, and worker efficiency.
- Forward & Backward Scheduling: Algorithmic scheduling from target due dates or raw material arrival dates.
- Load Leveling: Re-routing scheduled operations to qualified alternate machines.
