Model Alternate Production Resource Scenario in SAP S&OP

[Former Member]

Scenario

In the below example, product P1 can be made in two ways:

     1. FG LINE 1 -> DRY LINE 1 -> MILL LINE 1 -> PACK LINE 1

     2. FG LINE 1 -> DRY LINE 2 -> MILL LINE 2 -> PACK LINE 1

  

Business Requirement

Business user wants the ability to simulate and conduct scenario analysis by shuffling work centers in the production resource while analyzing capacity utilization.

Solution

Configured capacity consumption rate flag key figure that will help the user to shuffle between work centers and analyse utilization. A value of 0 or 1 will be inserted in capacity consumption rate flag key figure.

Production resource will be modelled for all six work centers and during the planning cycle users will shuffle with work centers.

Consumption Rate Calculation (PCAPACONSUMPTION)

Location	Source ID	Resource	Key Figure	July 2015
L1	L1_P1	FG LINE 1	Capacity Consumption Rate Flag	1
			Capacity Consumption Rate	1.02
		DRY LINE 1	Capacity Consumption Rate Flag	1
			Capacity Consumption Rate	1.5
		DRY LINE 2	Capacity Consumption Rate Flag	0
			Capacity Consumption Rate	0
		MILL LINE 1	Capacity Consumption Rate Flag	1
			Capacity Consumption Rate	2
		MILL LINE 2	Capacity Consumption Rate Flag	0
			Capacity Consumption Rate	0
		PACK LINE 1	Capacity Consumption Rate Flag	1
			Capacity Consumption Rate	1

Remember to flag CAPACONSUMPTION as time series in the production resource master data.

Hope this helps.
