Capacity Leveling in SAP – Tutorial material

Capacity leveling is used in various areas of a company and at different planning levels with the following objectives:

• High capacity load
• Adherence to dates
• Short lead times
• Low stocks

The objectives of capacity leveling include:

• Leveling overloads and underloads at work centers
• Achieving optimum commitment of machines and production lines
• Selection of appropriate resources

You can carry out capacity leveling in the SAP System in the following application areas: Sales and Distribution (SD), Production Planning and Control (PP), Plant Maintenance (PM) and the Project System (PS).

SAP Capacity Planning in MPS and MRP guide

The task of material requirements planning is to guarantee material availability. The system calculates which materials must be procured or produced at what time and in what amounts so as to provide the quantities required.Using MPS you can carefully plan important parts or bottleneck parts in a separate planning run at the highest BOM level before the planning results have an effect on all of the production levels.Lead time scheduling and the calculation of capacity requirements in MRP and MPS provide the basis for the creation of a master plan that corresponds to capacity planning. This way the MRP controller obtains information about possible bottlenecks and overloads. Before the master plan becomes effective and the planning results affect subordinate BOM levels, the MRP controller can make changes that affect capacity for chosen materials.

Capacity Planning in Repetitive Manufacturing in SAP

Repetitive manufacturing uses capacity leveling to carry out capacity planning for production lines. You use the planning table in repetitive manufacturing to carry out capacity planning and capacity leveling. The planning table is laid out in periods and gives you an overview of dates and quantities for materials and production lines.

SAP Capacity Planning in Shop Floor Control Guide

Shop floor control converts the planning data in material requirements planning into actual production orders and coordinates the production process with all the resources involved. The main tool for carrying out production is the production order. The production order generates capacity requirements at the detailed planning level and these are dispatched during capacity leveling.
