CAPACITY
PLANNING
The
ABBASOFT Technologies Capacity Planning
module calculates shop floor loads based
on open work orders and current shop
loads. Base capacities are established in
the work center file. The capacity
planning module allows forward finite and
backward infinite scheduling, providing
shop loading as well as calculated
delivery dates. Forward and backward
scheduling from a critical work center is
also available. The Capacity Planning
module takes input from the Manufacturing
(Job Cost), Production Control, Project
Management, Router Control, and Shop
Floor Control modules. The Order
Processing module is also recommended for
optimal system operation.
KEY
BENEFITS
- Define
capacity for direct labor and
resources to insure proper
distribution.

are available through detailed
reports that display to the
terminal or printer. The
