Rough Cut Capacity Planning

Hey all,
i wanted to configure Rough Cut Capacity Planning in such a way that
1. i could view capacities of workcenters given that the demand (load) of planned orders could be executed in a particular period.
I accomplished this partially, meaning i could find out the bottlenecks on the workcenters but this was only on single material level, if i wanted to run this check on multiple the system, supposedly, offers me the option of using the product group, my question is, where do i view these bottlenecks on capacity IF i want to run RCCP on Multiple products.
2. i wanted to find out exactly how much i can produce in a period, given that the external and internal procurement lead times are incorporated this is usually reffered to as Master Production Scheduling, as far as i know atleast.
kindly shed some light on these matters.
Regards,
Danish
PS. i've seen similar posts to this but none directly addressing these issues hence i felt the need to ask these questions seprately.

to further clarify my question i would like to see, as a result of stimulative planning (RCCP):
1. Impact of Planning (planned order quantities) from ALL materials that were being planned on work centers used in recipes.
2. Identification of bottlenecks, which is of course the subsequent function from point 1.
3. Capability to produce with reference to Materials availability (lead-times being incorporated of components).

Problem in rough cut capacity planning

Hi,
I am facing following problem in rough cut capacity planning....
When the capacity is overloaded in a particular month then capacity requirement is getting passed on to previous month as shown below....int the month of MAY 2014 capacity is getting overloaded then capacity requirement is transferred to Previous month APR 2014... I don't want this...what can be done to avoid this....I want to see overload in month wise....Plz help
Thanks
Kumar

Hi Rupesh,
Thanks for your help...finally issue is resolved...making the changes in OPU4 done the job...in OPU4 we need to remove the indicator of scheduling for rough cut capacity planning ........now getting the results as desired...

PP-PI: Rough-cut capacity

Hi Gurus,
We are in a process industry and using descrete production. We are not using production group but we use product hierarchy.
Now we want to run rough cut capacity to check resource capacity. Can anyone send me the complete scenario to check rough-cut capacity in my environment?
Thanks in advance.
Shiv

1. Create a rough cut capacity planning profile in the Tcode mc35 using the infostructure.
2. Then create your planning data for the flexible planning mc93
3. then when you create the Planning data in the View Tab - y ou have the capacity situation .
4. when you select this it will branch to the Rough cut capacity planning - then select show in that
5. Now based onthe values that you avhe maintianed in the RCCP you can see the capacity requirement in an additional screen below your planing values.
Check the configuration for the
Configure scheduling parameters in the SOP menu of the SPRO
Let me know if you need more details

Rough-cut Capacity Check at any level on the Plng Hierarchy ??

Fellow Experts,
I have the following Planning hierarchy on my self-defined, consistent planning, Info structure:
MFG Plant >> Prod Family >> Materials.
Product Family is a grouping of materials by Machine Cells(Work centers). I've the data available @ the material level & the same is also auto-aggregated at the Prod Family levels. At this point I want to trigger Rough-cut capacity check at the Product Family level.
I've maintained the key-figure on the Info Structure, required data set-up on MC35, config for Scheduling parameters (to do rough-cut planning) & selection ID maintenance for Rough-cut Plng Profile to be picked up. Yet, the system keeps bumping me off with "No Resource Load exists" error.
Is there something wrong I'm doing or my expectations are incorrect?? Could someone help me out here??
Cheers
Anand

HI,
Make sure the capacity planning relevant field is maintained for the Infostructure config setttings in MC7F.

Rough Cut Capacity Profile

Hello All,
I want to ask about Rough Cut Capacity Profile and how to analyse it in MC82 t-code,
I have made RCCP using MC35 for a Product Group X, where i use 2000 ton for the base qty
After that, i use MC82 t-code and than I enter the production line for just 1 month, for example i enter production value for June 2010, but for April,May and June still blank
The Problem is when i choose View --> Capacity Situation --> Rough Cut Planning --> Show, to analyse the capacity requirement,
I get that the Capacity Rqmnt value is not only in June, but also in May, Why it has to divide the calculation for 2 month? , because i just entry the production line for June, so i expect that the capacity rqmnt value is just appear in June
and How to calculate the formula for capacity rqmnt in MC82 ?

Marufat

Hello All,
Is there anyone who can help me?
Please, I really need to solve this problem

Rough cut Capacity load in Standard SOP

Hi there,
I have created some sales & production plan syncronous to sales......but when I try to see the capacity load thru View- > Capacity Situation - > Rough Cut planning- > Show
It is showing me that No Resource load exists ...... please guide me how can I see the load for the same
Regards
Kaushik

Hi,
Please maintain the settings as mentioned below.Then you can see the load.
Before you can carry out resource leveling in SOP, you must:
1.) Create a PP task list (a routing, a rate routing, or a rough-cut planning profile) for the material, product group, or characteristic values combination whose resources you want to plan.
2).Configure resources planning in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning.
3).If you use routings or rate routings to do resource leveling, define the key figure to which the resources are tied. Do this in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning under Set parameters for info structures and key figures.
4).Define the planning plant of any information structure whose plant is not uniquely identifiable (that is, either your information structure does not contain the characteristic "plant" or your rough-cut planning profile covers more than one plant). Do this in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning under Set parameters for info structures and key figures.
5).Set the default SOP plant for Sales & Operations Planning. Do this in Customizing for Sales & Operations Planning under Set planning plant for SOP.
Thanks,
DV

Rough Cut Planning Profile-by Capacity category

Hai,
I am creating Rough Cut Planning Profiles in ECC6.0 for use in Standad SOP (S076). In MC35, I don't see a place where I can enter by Work center category- like I want both Machine and Labour categories as I have different times for each category.
{ when I view the rough-cut capacity situation in MC82, system displays both categroies, but it is based on only the hours I maintained for one of the categories- how do I maintain for both categories?}
Thank you in advance:)
Sonali

Hello Sonali,
Rough cut capacity planning is used only for bottle neck resources.Analyze your process and you will come to know for the product group or material which category or machine is bottleneck.
Create a rought cut planning profile for a production line or Workcenter or PRT or Cost(Relative cost not product cost).
PS:Roughtcut capcity planning should not be used for all the workcenters.
Thanks,
Raj

LTP and Rough cut planning with Demand Mangment

Hello ,
I am quite new for the planning topics.
Need help for the understanding difference between long term planning and Rough cut planning.
I would like to know in which industry or for which process scenario we choose long term planning and Rough cut planning? Also both this planning scenario how affect or related to the Demand Management.
It will great Help if you put some example with brief process description or scenario details.
Regards,
Maulik

Hi Maulik
There is also Sales and Operations Planning (SOP) which is a higher level of planning, that also allows you to create different scenarios.
Rough-cut capacity planning is used together with SOP. Here, you will generally plan at finished product level, using the sales forecast.
Long-term planning is a more operational tool, very smilar to MRP, but simulative.
SOP data can be transfered to DM and LTP can use DM data as an input.
I suggest you to read the documentation of both functionalities for a better understanding of each one:
Rough-cut Capacity Planning:
Executing Resource Leveling - Sales &amp; Operations Planning (LO-LIS-PLN) - SAP Library
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPMan/Rough-Cut+Capacity+Planning+on+SOP

OAG Capacity Planning

Hi,
Please help me to clarify on how to properly plan the capacity for an OAG deployment. I’m taking as base OAG documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E55956_01/doc.11123/administrator_guide/content/admin_planning.html#p_admin_planning_ha
formula described there helps to get the number of Gateways
numberOfGateways = (ceiling (requiredThroughput x factorOfSafety / testedPerformance) x HA) x (1 + numDR) + staging + eng))
I’m assuming each gateway is deployed in machines with following prerequisites, as described in documentation
Intel Core or AMD Opteron at 2Ghz with Dual Core or faster—i386 or x86_64 (32-bit or 64-bit)
Minimum 2 GB free disk space, 50 GB recommended
Minimum 4 GB physical memory
In the case requiredThroughput has significant increments, I think we should deploy additional Gateways, please help us to clarify
Questions are:
In order to properly scale OAG deployment, its just required to deploy new Gateways (in additional machines with above characteristics)?
Increasing physical memory or adding more CPU threads has any positive impact in performance?
Please advise.
Regards
Juan

Hope you are asking regarding the Manufacturing Capacity Planning.
Oracle Capacity functionality is part of the Manufacturing module license.
Oracle Capacity lets you calculate your Capacity load ratio by resource or production line.
It ensures that you have sufficient capacity to meet your production requirements.
Oracle capacity provides you with two levels of capacity planning :
Rough Cut Capacity Planning (RCCP) to validate your master wschedules
Deetailed Capacity Requirements Planning to validate your MRP plans.
Check the Capacity User Guide available at Appsnet
(http://appsnet.oracle.com -> Manufacturing -> User and Implementation Guides)

Rough Cut Planning Profile in SOP

Hi,
Need an input on the Values keyed in to the Rough cut capacity profile? Is there any documentation on the same?
I have maintained the Time span as 1 work day and the basse quantity as 1. In the resource table, i have keyed in the work center and the unit as H. Now when i maintain a value of 1 under the first day the capacity req is 1 in SOP but when i maintain a value of 1 in day 1 and day 2- the capacity requirement doubles

Rough -cut plan with capacity requirment calculation

Hi all,
We checking SOP with rough-cut plan
We created Rough-cut profile in mc35 for our bottle neck work center with base quantity -1 and time span - 1
then we selected new work center (there is no existing cap req). and assigned base unit measure:min.
and we assigned 1min for each day and saved the profile.
Now we went to mc88 and checked the material's active version production plan. (period split- DAY)
in View -> capacity situation -> rough cut planning -> show.
System calculates some capacity requirement for our production plan.
Say for tomorrow's date i given 1000 qty - production plan.
but system showing capacity req
Work center: TESTWC3                  Plant: 0001         Capacity: 001
Info structur Material          Plant   Order qty     Unit     From              To          Capacity reqmts      Unit
S076            TESTFERT14    0001 1000.000       EA    29.01.2010 11.02.2010   9000.000              MIN
with 9000min and cap load more than 652% ( Actuallly it has to show 1000min as per rough cut plan profile)
Our available capacity of work center per day - 1380 min
We cant understand the capacity requirement calculation in MC88..
Help us out...
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Rough cut planning is genrally done for the group of material say product group, group of workcentre rather than individual material or workcentre.
As standard, in resource table whatever the value you enter that corresponds to no. of days. Each column represents one day.
Pl. refer this link for clear understanding of the same.

Rough cut planning & available capacity

I need one clarification, in the rough cut planning, the existing load
is not considering for available capacity.It is considering only from
the resource capacity.
E.g : Avaialble capacity of for Resource A (today) is 24 hr
      One Order is created and released for 4 hr with Resource A
      As per that now my available capacity of the resource is only 20 hr
      In SOP planning view, it showing as 24 hrs.
      And If i am running the SOP today at 1400hrs for calculating the
resource capacity. Practically my avaialble capacity is 10hrs. But
in the system it showing as 24hrs.
How to capture the above both requirements?
2. Through roughcut planning we can able calcualte the cost, material and
PRT availability also. But it is not coming the the SOP screen.
Is it any configuration i missed out? Help me out

sakthivel

Hi!
Available capacity means the total capacity available for use in production. Presence of an requirement will not reduce the available capacity.
Regarding SOP. Check for the starting time of the order or requirement. See if you can schedule from the current time instead of start of the day.

Rough cut planning-sop

Dear Friends,
For doing roughcut plan for one finished good , first i have created versions as per product group.then next step is disaggregate to sub groups. then after to material. now i got planning qty's for particular material. to do roughcut planning as against material quantites i have created one rough cut plan by selecting one workcentre as constraint(via t-code mc35).After doing this system is giving message roughcut profile is generated. then i went for mc88 to look after my work centre capacity load. i am getting gray position on view tab. so that iam not able to click on the view tab to serve the desired.how to de-gray.
extras>capacity situation> ______view.
pls.suggest how to solve the problem or is there any settings involved at workcentre or routing level or any setting is needed to pop up view tab. it will be very helpful to me.

Hi,
Create a prod group using mc84.
create a rc plan using mc81.
create a rc cap profile using mc35, here give the base qty as 1, lot size etc...
Then in the resource , give the bottle neck workcenter . & enter the time to produce one piece in that particular work center.
use mc82, & choose the corresponding inactive version no.
In mc82 view, after checking the capacity situation(By choosing view, capacity situation, show) you can check the load for that particular resource. Once the load is 100 %. You can save it.
Use mc78, copy the inactive version no to active no. (a00).
Then in mc82 view, go to Extras,
transfer to demand management,
Choose the strategy as LSF/VSF... according to your scenario & then click transfer.
Hope this helps...

Rough cut planning

Dear Experts ,
I have done foll setting :
Work center ugage : all task list type ( 009)
OPU3 : SelID:roughPlng 03
OPU5 : RCutPlg horizon 100
SelID:roughPln 03
Sche and general cap req is activated .
Created rough cut profile in mc35 after putting work center its not automatically proposing time . I mean SOP is done and it has not transferred to demand ( AS capacity planning is not done )
Secondly when I go to MC82 and check capacity situation there is blank , I mean show option is gray not selectable .
Please help .
Neal

My steps in Mc35
Entered prod group , plant + execute
Time span 30 days
Status 4
From Lot Size 1 to 9999
Usage 1
Clicked on lense Work center,Plant,Unit- ( tried min and HR )
after entering this there are just blank columns coming ahed of it and system wont let me save without entering values in those columen , I am suppose to enter some time or system will propose according to me SOP plan ?
