Rough Cut Capacity Planning

[Former Member]

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.

Hi

Rough cut capacity Planning is to check capacity of Bottele neck work center.

I do not think simulation as you require is possible in STd SAP Rough capacity planning.

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).
