CTP (Capable-to-Promise)
Capable-to-Promise
Promise calculation that considers material availability and production capacity to determine a feasible delivery commitment.
Examples
- 01Using CTP, the system shows that a new order for 400 units can be delivered on 15 May, because the press line has free capacity in week 18.
- 02Sales and planning review CTP results for large orders before committing dates to the customer.
- 03When CTP shows that capacity is the constraint and not material, the team discusses overtime instead of expediting parts.
