Title: Capable-To-Promise and Production Scheduling (A Provocative View) for Business Central
Description:
Make-to-order manufacturing customers strongly depend on making precise delivery time commitments. The capable-to-promise function is an ideal tool to support them - from the perspective of the items' availability. However, the same function is dangerous from a capacity perspective. Make-to-order manufacturers who are capacity-constrained might get dangerous information when they use the CTP function. The reason? Well, as is normal in Business Central, CTP runs on the assumption of infinite capacity. Hence, CTP provides users with unrealistic delivery dates. An answer to this could be the capacity-constrained resources function. Switching it on will solve the issue of unrealistic delivery dates. However, it will provide users with a schedule that they cannot execute. In this session, I will come up with a provocative (or creative?) idea on how make-to-order manufacturers should work with the CTP function *and* maintain an always current, actionable machine schedule - with finite capacity scheduling.
