The evaluation of planned production to determine if it can be accomplished within the capacity limitations of manufacturing facilities. A capacity load projection is completed for each item in the master production schedule. The calculated load requirement is compared to available capacity, thus determining underutilization or overutilization of f [..]

Process for determining the amount of machine and labor resources required to meet production.

The capacity requirements for a work order that have been reduced since the start of order processing or since the last confirmation.

The capacity requirements that have been scheduled, after scheduling or distribution, to periods in the past.

The sum of the capacity requirements of operations in orders which have been confirmed in the capacity availability check.

A value that is determined from a comparison of capacity requirements for a specific capacity category and the capacity available.

Constituent part of the planning table.

Determines the basic characteristics of a chart such as title and time axis.

A reference to a color definition.

The time period between start of evaluation period and start of planning period.

Line that marks the position for the current point in time (date or time of day) on the time axis.

A combination of all graphical elements that represent a graphical object.

A decision function used to select a suitable graphics object type based on the data of the application object.

Scheduling in a network/order starting from a current date.

Labeling of the time axis with one or more period patterns.

A part of a chart in the planning table that contains information identifying and describing the capacity requirements groups displayed in the diagram section such as all requirements that are dispatc [..]

The division of a time scale with a tick and heading to indicate the corresponding time.

A profile used in capacity planning, containing the following informationin sub-profiles:

A part of a chart in the planning table where the time axis and graphical objects are displayed.

The dispatching of all capacity requirements in the past and up to a specified date, for example, to the previous day.

The labeling of the time axis in certain intervals that are determined by the scale, such as seconds, minutes or hours.

An organisation type in capacity planning that takes account of current capacity loads.

Number of working days planned in scheduling as a safety buffer between the scheduled finish and basic finish date of an order.

The number of working days between the order start date and the scheduled start date; used as a float in production scheduling.

A reference to a form definition.

The available capacity minus the requirements assigned to this capacity displayed for a certain period in the selected capacity unit.

A part of a graphical representation of a graphical object such as a bar between two points in time or a symbol on a point in time.

A key referring to the definition of a graphical element.

A representation of an application object that comprises all graphical elements and data required.

The data of an application object necessary for its representation, such as the earliest start and the earliest end of an operation.

A decision function for selecting a graphic object type, depending on data in the application object.

A criterion containing subprofiles for controlling the structure, appearance, and behavior of the graphic planning table and the graphic objects it contains.

The time period between the end of the planning period and the end of the evaluation period.

The appearance of a line in a chart.

A decision function for selecting a line in the table area of a planning table.

The number identifying the available capacity in a capacity category.
