Q: Can anyone please explain the purpose of the planning table MF50 and how to use it for capacity levelling?
A:
1)
In Repetitive Manufacturing, the master plan is represented by the planning table. The planning table is a
tool for operative planning and is used to plan the production quantities:
2)
In a repetitive manufacturing environment, planning and control is usually carried out in a period and
quantity basis. The layout of the planning table has been designed to support this requirement and is also
based on periods to provide a very clear, easy-to-interpret overview of materials and production lines.
3)
The planning table is the planneru2019s/MRP controlleru2019s most important tool for planning the
production quantities. At a glance the planner can check production quantities, monitor the available
capacity of the production lines and check up on the availability situation of the products produced on each
line.
4)
You can directly enter and change production quantities in the planning table. You can assign u2018nonassignedu2019 production quantities to the production lines or you can reassign production quantities to
alternative production lines.
5)
You create the production quantities or assign them to the production line in the planning table.
6)
You can also use the planning table with capacity planning. Here, planning is based on lead time scheduling.
The basis for lead time scheduling is the routing. You can access the capacity planning table directly from
the REM planning table.
Here planned order should have valid production version to get the capacity details.
F5 is nothing but re-access reload the planning book again.
A: This is not used in normal production scenarios, this is useful in the Flow manufacturing process only.
Q: How is useful?
A: this will help us to schedule the planned order in sequence
