Capacity Plannig Secenario

Hey,
I have an issue related to under-utilization of the capacity
We have four mills (Work centers). Only two of the four mills are staffed (for only 1 shift a day), and the other two mills are idle, production of finished goods carry a high overhead burden. This is because of underabsorption of the capacities.
Ideally, the underabsorption should result in the similar cost standards for products whether the plant has two mills staffed or four mills staffed for one shift .
I think that the appropriate way to address this issue is to have the standard rates for work centers established so that they underabsorp plant expenses. The adjustment from standard to actual each month would then reflect the cost of the under-utilization of assets.
Can anyone let me know what is the best way in this type of scenario and help me knwing what can i do in SAP do make this right.
Will assign Max Points
Thanks
Amit

Relation between maintainance order and capacity plannig

Hi
If i create maintainance order for workcenter or resource that has been used in capacity planning in production process then is it going to affect capacity value. if it is then how and where?
Thanking you.

Hi Shriram,
Well as your thread says there is a lot of impacts in different ways say:
Cases:
If there is a order to deliver it with in two days but there is a sudden customer order to mfg and deliver it in one day then we have to check the capacity to produce the second order as well. So, at that time we do the capacity leveling & evaluation to adjust and to produce the orders OK.
So, in the same way we can have n number of orders which will come and there will be short fall of capacity OK.
I hope it helps you.

Dear ,
To answer the question for Capacity requirement planning on sales order I would say that MRP does only materials planning based on demand and reciept but never does Capacity Requirement Plannig .MRP generates Planned Order and susequently , production order can be genreted and farther you can carry out capacity requirement planning based on the work cente available capacity , requirement and load for those MTO orders .
But there are SAP business suit like APO-SNP APO PPDS which carriy our details scheduleing and caapcity check based on the demand situation : Sales Order ,Independent Order and does capcaity vaialbality chek for those demands while planning .
Now , here is the answer of your question :
1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically. : Not possible through SAP MRP but in APO-PPDS, APO-SNP-CTM , Herustic model .
2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO. : It can be reflected as per the ATP chekc , Replishmenet Lead Time and re-scheduling horizon maintained in OPPQ-Carry all overall plant parametres.
3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s. : You can check through MD04/MD05 or in sales order -Availaibility check -Schedule Line -Availaibility date .
Hope your are clear about the requirememt .

PP work center capacity and link in Equipment master

Dear All
My client has five equipments which he is clubing them into one work center with five capacities. In equipment master i have given for respective equipments i have given PP work center locations but when i create a maint order for one equip then in planning the capacity avalability is affecting the entire work center for ex if the total work on one equip is 12 hrs then only 8 hrs of capcity should be deducted for to day and 4 hrs for tommorow but in plannig all 12 hrs are getting deducted in todays capacity itself.
Pls give some inputs from your experiances
Thanks and Regards
Pankaj

Hi,
Even if we have more than One Equipments in the same work center, PP-PM integration will work.
This is the standard scenario in any Process Industry or in case of an Assembly line of a Automobile manufacturing industry.
So it should work. Please check the following points again,
1. Assignment of Work Center to Equipment Master
2. System Condition - '0' Not in Operation in Both header as well as against Individual Operations (in Work Order for that Equipment)
3. Work Order has been released.
4. Same Work Center is used in Routing and the same is Planned for a period.
If we have all the above points right, then while dispatching the Production Order system should show the Period of block and should shift/plan the PO accordingly.

Sam

Capacity Planning for all Sales Order Items

Sir,
A Sales Order have 4 different line items & need to produce on single work center.
In schedule line of sales order requirement dates are given priority wise.
After running the MRP I have observed that for all schedule lines, all planned ordered are starting on same date & time on the given capacity.
I need to level it manually.
Here I have few Question.
1) Can Capacities are Scheduled as per priority given in SO automatically.
2) Can revised availability dates will be reflected in SO.
3) Which reports will be useful for understanding consolidated availability date of material for given sales order/s.

New to Fios: Schedules Recordings and DVR Capacity

I just gave up on RCN in lieu or Verizon Fios and thus far - can't stand the dvr.
1) The capacity is no where near what RCN's was. I had days worth of TV, movies, etc saved and never ran out of space. With Verizon, it's been less than a week and I`m already half full. I don't have a HD TV, but I`m wondering if my lack of space is caused by the recorder taping in HD. How do I check this setting to ensure that everything being recorded is standard definition?
2) The Verizon DVR is really bad at only keeping two episodes of a show, and only recording new/first run shows. Is there any setting to make this work better? I tried to set it to record first runs only of the show scrubs, on any channel (i wasnt sure what channel the new ones are run on) and in two days it taped 10 episodes...

The FiOS DVR has the same 160GB capacity as the RCN DVR.
SD channels are 0-499 and HD channels are 500+. All the SD local channels can be found under 50.
Recordings from HD channels consume 3-6x the capacity of SD channels.

Report for calculating capacity utilization and Efficency

Hi,
We are following REM in our company. The production line is defined in the production version. While backflushing the production line is called automatically and hence backflushing is done.
We calculate the capacity utilization by using the formulae.
Capacity Utilization = (Backflushed Qty/ Available capacity)*100.
My queries are:
1. Is there any standard report to determine the capacity utilization of a production line.
2. Is there any standard report to calcualte the efficency of a production line.
waiting for reply.
With regards,
Afzal

Hi afzal
1. you have mentioned ; Available capacity = Std.time per piece * no. of working hrs
Let me explain with example
suppose per piece if it takes 10 mins, now according to your formula
A.C = 10* 24 * 60 = 14400 per day, but which is not correct
normally if 10 mins/ peice means 6 peices/hr and for 24 hrs 24*6 = 144.
so it must be A.C = no. of working hrs / Std.time per piece.
2. You have mentioned = capacity utlilised = total Backflushed qty per day., which means you are caluculating capacity utilization based on input material.
3. Utilization = (Avaliable capacity/ Capacity utilised) * 100
suppose let us consider Available capacity per day =100
capacity utilized = 50
Utilization = (100/50) * 100 = 200%, which is not correct it should be only 50%
Here my main doubt is why You are caluculating capacity based on input material.
Please explanin me you business process and whats the exact requirement so that I can help you out.
Please check the formulae

Features I would like to see in Capacity IQ

Hi all,
I am currently implementing Capacity IQ in our virtual environment and I encounter some issue's. I know some probably will be solved by VCops however it is yet uncertain whether we will purchase that software.
- I have 4 vCenters, so I need to log into Capacity IQ 4 times. This makes it hard to provide a Capacity Plan for over all my resources.
- I have multiple hardware platforms in the same vCenter. Sometimes my managment would like to know what the remaining capacity is on a specific platform. I cannot select multiple clusters, so I need to provide a forecast myself.
- Capacity IQ does not provide the intelligence for performing a what-if analysis on datacenter level.
- Some of my clusters function as a DR test-cluster. Never running any machines only during the DR-test, which are scheduled frequently. I would like the option to exclude clusters in Capacity IQ's trend analysis. This way the DR-test does not mess up the trend analysis.
- I cannot enter a custom account to schedule reports with(workaround logon to vCenter and schedule)
- I need the reports to be written to a NFS/CIFS share somewhere, so I can serve them from there and anyone can go look for themselves.
Any ideas with regards to these issue's are much appreciated!

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
How do I get rid of the other stuff?
capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Suggestion for a new macbookair flash storage capacity for dual OS

I'm planning to buy my first MBA. I'll work using logic pro and office for mac. But I also have one app that need run on win7. This app size is max 200mb.
To keep my final working file, I plan to buy external storage.
My question, looking at my work needs, pls advise what is the ideal flash storage size I should pick ? Is it 128, 256 or 512Gb ? Ideal for me means, not overcapacity flash storage.
Tx all

Hi Dikanug,
Out of interest, so I can further select the best capacity of Flash Storage, how many document do you plan to save on the computer using Office and how often are you going to use Logic Pro?
This will help determine the best capacity.
Obviously the Logic Pro files will need to stay on the Mac however it is probably cheeper to have a Small Flash Storage and store any file that does not need to be on the actually Macintosh Drive, stored on a large external Hard Drive with files such as Office files.
Obviously the Logic Pro files will be anywhere from 10mb -up and therefore this will be needed to be taken into consideration when purchasing the Flash.
Just for your sake: 14 tracks of audio, 10 of which are drums and a song that is about 5 minutes long, could be at least 25mb in file capacity.
Remember once you have bought the device you cannot make the capacity bigger and thereofre it is better to have more than not enough however do not waste your money if you do not need it.

Goods receipt Capacity check in PO creation- EHP2

Hi
I have activated business function LOG_MM_CI_1 in our ECC 6.0 system . I have also activated Goods receipt capacity check and subsequent settings in customization . I am able to view the GR capacity check icon in Purchase order creation (ME21N). When I click this icon by selecting the line item , system does not perform any function . I have read in SAP documentation that Vendor can be assigned to door . I am not able to find this assignment in the system . Not sure whether this function is only applicable to retail system and not to SAP R/3 . If some one worked on this functionality , kindly request you to throw some light on this functionality .
with regards,

Same thing is happening to me right now .. did you found out what the error was,, or what was missing ?

Product Group capacity can not be seen in MF50 output

Dear All,
I can not see the product group in 'total capacity' subscreen in output of planning table MF50.
In MF50 the input parameter i am entering is product group and plant.
In the scheduling tab of input parameters detailed scheduling and capacity planning is tick.
For some product groups i can see in output as "Product Groups / Total Capacity" and also in the rows below it shows "Prod.Grp XYZ" then requirement and available quantity rows. After which the production line rows follows.
For some product groups when enter in initial selection screen of MF50 with same input parameters in output i do not see Product group but i can see "Total Capacity Data" and then the rows starts with production lines. But no information on capacity of product group.
The setup of all product group is same and are created with MM01.
Regards,
Vero.

Hi Rupesh,
Thanks for reply.
In 'Control Tab' i am not selecting any parameter. So in output i can see all materials in 'Material Data' section which are included in product group irrespective of requirements.
I have issue in upper half section of 'Total Capacity Data'. I can see the different production line rows with Requirement / Available rows with capacity values in each period. Unit is %.
But i do not see 1st row for Product group row with 2 subsequent rows (requirement / available) with unit KG.
I can see these rows only for some product groups but not for all.
For the product groups for which i do not see these rows have capacity requirement in selected periods which can be seen in same output in production lines rows. (where selection in input screen is product group and plant)
Regards,
Vero

IMovie '08 Capacity Full and Cannot Transfter DVD's into Macbook

I recently purchased a 13" Macbook Unibody off eBay. The unit is in good shape and the previous owner has installed a Zagg Invisible Shield over the entire Macbook and the battery holds a full charge. I bought the Macbook to use editing some old VHS footage I had converted to DVD.
When I try to import a DVD to my desktop so I can edit it using iMovie '08, I get the error "Unable to create 'DVD Video Recording.dmg' (Input/Output Error). At the bottom of the screen it says DVD Video Recording Capacity 2.1 GB
Avaiable 0 Bytes
Used 2.1 GB
Number of Files 4,293,886,887
The Space Utilized indicates: 20.09 GB and Space Free: 277.69 GB. When I received the Macbook I inserted the Applications Install DVD and entered my personal info. I thought this was the clean install you are referring to?
When I purchased the item, the previous owner stated the only blemish was a dead pixel at the bottom of the screen and he showed a picture of it in his add. After re-installing the applications DVD, this one dead pixel is no longer there. I don't know if this is a clue, but I am including all the info I can.
I checked out System Memory in the Activity Monitor and it indicates

Why do these numbers fluctuate every second or two?
Why won't my Macbook Transfer DVD's into the hardrive so I can edit them with iMovie? Thank you for your help.
Curtis Bradley, R.Ph.

have you tried my workaround for importing from DVD?

.. ok, works only in 95% .. some people complained not all files get converted with this method.. haven't found out why..

The normal value of battery capacity for macbook pro

Hi there,
I noticed my battery full charge capacity value is way below the technical specification from Apple.
For macbook pro 15" early 2011 version a 77.5W battery is built-in.
However, so far after 4 cycle, my full charge capacity is 6913mAh.
It seems that I missed something. Though I didn't really notice the initial value when it's brandnew.
Statistically what's the average value of the new battery will be ? around 75W or 7500mAh? Any idea?

Best battery info resource is here:

Operations are not getting despatched in capacity planning table

Hi Experts,
I am using capacity planning table (Graphical) to level the capacities and sequence the process orders. The start date of my orders are very well in future and sufficient capacities also is available in resources. But when I go to CM25 and select one order and click on despatch, system is not despatching it. This is the case for almost all the overall profiles.
The surprising factor is, this function was working fine earlier without any issues. I havent done any changes in configs which will affect capacity planning.
What can be the reason for this? Any thoughts please?.
One more thing. Is there any option to avoid the capacity planning step if Iam using R/3 and manage it by some other way?
Appreciate your earlier reply
Thanks & Regards
Prathib

Most likely you didnt define the rowsource key properly. Please look under <install>/errors folder for any file there.
Also, please read the documentation. There is information there about how to troubleshoot a loading problem. Please always read the documentation and we would appreciate feedback on the documentation.
