Hi,

Production planning

For example, consider a pump manufacturing plant, based on the customer requirement, planning is done for future months ( we plan for a qty on particular

date). Pump is an assembly - were main component would be manufactured in the plant and others would be procured. As PP, we are concerned only in the inhouse

manufacturing but the final assembly (considering BOM) can be done only if the procured components are available. MRP helps in planning the shortage, on

particular date based on the planned date. Work center (ex. lathe) place the components are machined/assembled (were the operation is done). Sequence of

operation is routing (lead time scheduling data is got from routing). In the MRP Run,basic or lead time scheduling (need to know when to start/finish date)

is done. On creation of the production order, system checks for which BOM and routing to be picked up (if there are many routings or BOM for that particular

finished product). Availabilty checks for material,PRT and capacity needs to be done. on release of the order, confirmation of the order can be done (on

completion of the order or after manufacturing the quantities). GI and GR have to be done.PP flow ends here

step 1: creation of master data (Material master,BOM,Work center,Routing)

step 2: Planning - can be done by Planned independent requirement (MD61), Independent requirement (MD81).

we plan for a quantity, on which date (it would be finish date).

step 3: MD04 -stock/requirement lsit (plan made can be viewed in MD04)

step 4: MRP run - MD02, PIR is converted into Planned order

step 5:Planned order to be converted production order - CO40, CO41

step 6: production order to be released - CA02

step 7: confirm the production order (order confirmation-CO15 (after which GI and GR is do

The PP flow consists of planning and execution as described.

Here is the flow of PP in simple language:

1 First of all demand is generated for the product to be produced through demand management. It calculated the quantities to produce and the time for the final assembly.

2 The data from demand management is transferred to MRP. The data from demand mgt can come from Customer Sales Order (firm) or Planned Order (forecast).

3 The MRP checks for the availability of material at various stages of BOM. In case material is not available MRP generated planned order and Purchase requisition for production of components in house and procurement from vendor respectively.

4 The planned orders are converted into production order by the planner and the purchase requisition are converted into purchase order by the purchaser.

5 Production in charge converts the planned order to production order and carries out the production activities once the order is released for production. Production is carried out as per the operation steps provided in the routing. Work centers are also mentioned with each operation in the routings where these operations are to be carried out.

6 Once the production is completed production confirmation is done and goods movement (delivery created) takes place.

7 Capacity planning is yet another part of PP which planes the capacities for various work centers. MPS is another tool which is used to plan out the master products. If MPS is to be run the inputs are provided from demand management to MPS. And the out put from MPS is then feed into MRP.

Process Flow:

Creating a Production Order

1. Discrete manufacturing starts with the creation and processing of a production order. You

can create a production order either manually or by converting a planned order that was

created in production planning and procurement planning.

2. When you create a production order, reservations are automatically generated for the

necessary material components. In the case of externally procurred material components or

services, the system generates purchase requisistions. Capacity requirements are

generated in the work centers that are to process the production order.

3. You can also carry out preliminary costing to determine the planned costs.

4. When the release date is reached and the relevant materials and capacities are avaialble,

you release the production order. To prepare for production, you print the relevant shop floor

papers.

Capacity Planning

You can evaluate the capacity situation, and if necessary level capacities at any stage in

production order processing. In general, you do this before production starts.

Production

The components that are requiured to produce the product are withdrawn from stock for the

production order and the goods issue is posted. The required product is produced according to

the production order. The quantities produced and the times needed to do so are confirmed for

the production order. The products are placed into stock and the goods receipt is posted.

Quality Inspection During Production

The Quality Management procedures relevant to this scenario are explained in a separate

scenario QM in Production Page 127.

Repetitive Manufacturing

50 April 2001

Repetitive Manufacturing

Purpose

This scenario describes production planning and control within a repetitive manufacturing

environment. In repetitive manufacturing, master plans are typically created on a period and

quantity basis (reduction in individual lot and order-specific processing). A quantity of one product

is manufactured over a certain period. The product is processed in a constant flow and interim

products are generally not stocked.

In repetitive manufacturing, you usually find that the effort required for production control is

significantly less than is required for single lot and order-based production control and the

recording of actual data is kept simpler.

Repetitive manufacturing can be used for various industries, such as the consumer packaged

goods industry, the electronic industry, packaging industry, for example.

You can use Repetitive Manufacturing purely for make-to-stock production, or in a sales orderoriented

environment, such as found in the automotive industry.

Process flow:

Processing the Master Plan

You can plan the planned orders created in the MRP run for this material in a planning table.

Here, you no longer refer to planned orders but to run schedule quantities. You can then change

these run schedule quantities in the planning table taking the capacity situation into account, if

necessary. Production is now controlled on the basis of these run schedule quantities.

Material Staging

The purpose of the interactive pull list is to inform you of components whose stock levels have to

be replenished at the production storage location. From the missing quantities screen, you can

directly trigger a stock transfer from the central warehouse to the production storage location.

Production Execution and Backflushing

The product is usually manufactured in a constant flow over the production line. You record

actual data (backflush) at regular intervals for the production quantities manufactured. The

system posts the component consumption and production activities with the goods receipt of the

finished product. If you work with longer lead times, you can also backflush at reporting points on

the production line. This means you can post component consumption closer to the actual time

that the components were consumed.
