RCCP (Rough-Cut Capacity Planning)

Rough-Cut Capacity Planning

High-level capacity check used to test whether the master production schedule is feasible.

Examples

  1. 01RCCP shows that the master schedule for next quarter needs 2,300 hours on the press line, but only 2,000 are available.
  2. 02Each month, RCCP is run on the bottleneck resources before the master production schedule is approved.
  3. 03After RCCP reveals the gap, management approves a third shift for 6 weeks instead of promising dates that cannot be met.
