CM01 - Capacity

[former_member630516]

Hello all,

As you can see in the image in the first four weeks of the table I have enough capacity to produce.

The thing is that the percentage of occupation is very low...What can I do to increase the capacity and reduce the number of weeks of production?

I can produce everything in the first week, first and second week....that is not a problem.

I have tried some things but the production was always spread throug the 4 weeks.

Thank you

Jose

Hello Mr. Jose,

Could you please check the Distribution maintained in the Workcenter (Capacities Tab).

May be that would be a reason for this behavior for the Capacities getting distributed.

Hello Mr. Jose,

Here is the Setting that I was referring to in the Capacity View of the Work Center.

It would be great if you can check if there is any Distribution of capacity requirements maintained.

Thanks again.

Best Regards

Manickath.

Hello Jose,

The Other way is you have to increase the Order Quantity , let's say initially your order quantity is 1000, increase the Order Quantity to 5000 or 10000, then you can observe that Capacity Utilized will be increased to 70 % or 80% depending on the Order Quantity.

Hope this helps.

Hello Aditya,

Thank you for your input.

I know that the order quantity increase is going to put higher values in the capacity utilization.

The thing is....I want to do the order in 1 week instead of 4 weeks and I have capacity for that and sap is spreading the order for the 4 weeks I want to do the order as fast as I can.

Thank you.

Hello Jose,

You can increase the Capacity Load by creating more Production/Process Order in a specific week, create more orders spread over week 1,2,3 and 4 then you can check the capacity load,this will definitely increase the load.

Check and provide your feedback.

Hello Aditya,

That is a solution for sure. But imagine that I only have that order.

What can I do to improve the capacity percentage and by consequence reduce the number of weeks?

For me it doesn`t make much sense to have a week occupied only with 7 or 8%...

I would appreciate your feedback.

Thank you.

José
