Planning Time Fence
Boundary separating planning horizons with different rules for changes, commitments or system-generated proposals.
Examples
- 01Inside the planning time fence of 4 weeks, MRP no longer creates new orders automatically; the planner must approve every change.
- 02Planning reviews the planning time fence once a year, based on the actual lead times of key components.
- 03A clear planning time fence stops the system from moving orders back and forth every night.
