5 Course Overview Course Overview This course is designed to familiarize participants with the capacity planning process in ECC. This will incorporate master data modeling scenarios, thorough investigation of scheduling and capacity requirements generation, and capacity evaluation options. The participants will learn about multiple business process scenarios of how capacity planning can be used strategically as well as tactically in several forms of execution environments. Target Audience This course is intended for the following audiences: End users, project team members and consultants responsible for the use, support, and implementation of Capacity Planning features in ECC Course Prerequisites Required Knowledge Thorough knowledge of master data, which includes: material masters, bills of materials, work centers/resources, and task lists Working knowledge of materials requirements planning Working knowledge of production execution processes: production orders, process orders, repetitive manufacturing Course Goals This course will prepare the participant to: Demonstrate modeling possibilities related to work centers/resources as it relates to capacity planning Prove how scheduling and capacity requirements are separate but dependent entities in the capacity planning environment in ECC Present how rough-cut capacity planning plays an integral role in supply chain planning in ECC Exhibit the capacity planning reporting features in both ECC and BI Demonstrate the detailed scheduling abilities of the ECC capacity planning tools Course Objectives After completing this course, the participant will be able to: Explain how capacity planning can be utilized throughout the plan to inventory process Demonstrate various methods of master data modeling in accordance with capacity planning functionality 2014 SAP AG.

6 Course Overview Understand the lead time scheduling process and the integration with capacity requirements Present how rough-cut planning would be positioned in a plan to inventory process Demonstrate the options your company will have for evaluating capacity situations using both ECC and BI Demonstrate how capacity leveling/detailed scheduling works in ECC Present various methods of capacity requirements reduction in ECC 2014 SAP AG.

7 Unit 1 Capacity Planning In The Supply Chain Unit Overview In this unit, you will review the basic concepts of supply chain planning and execution. As part of this review, you will see how capacity planning can be used in the business process, and discuss basic integration points with planning, inventory control, and production execution. Lesson: Capacity Planning In Supply Chain Management Explain how capacity planning can be used at several stages of the plan to inventory process 2014 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 1

8 Unit 2 Capacity Evaluations Unit Overview Once your manufacturing environment has been modeled properly, and capacity requirements have been generated, capacity planning can begin. The first step to capacity planning is to perform an evaluation. Typically, materials requirements planning is run on a nightly basis. This could cause changes to your schedule/plan. In order to see what problems were created, planners will typically have to evaluate their capacity situation. In this unit, you will review different tools that can assist planners in identifying potential executions issues. Lesson: Capacity Evaluation in ECC Explain how the capacity load report works Describe how the order report can assist planners in capacity constrained environments Lesson: Distributing Capacity Requirements Explain the purpose of the distribution key Explain the purpose of the distribution strategy Explain the use of the distribution function Lesson: Miscellaneous Capacity Evaluation Reports Explain how the pool report works Describe how the backlog report can assist planners Demonstrate the usefulness of the overload report Identify how custom evaluations can be modeled with the variable evaluation Explain the difference when utilizing the extended evaluation reports 2014 SAP AG.

9 Lesson: Capacity Evaluation Using Business Intelligence Explain the concept of Business Intelligence Describe business content as delivered by SAP Examine delivered BI content for capacity utilization 2014 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 3

10 Unit 3 Capacity Leveling Tools Unit Overview Once your evaluations have been completed, schedulers have an idea where there execution challenges are. Now that you have identified what resources have issues, you must now correct those issues so execution can proceed without complications. In this unit, you will explore what tools are available to level capacity and learn to navigate and interpret the relevant data. Lesson: Introduction to Dispatching Explain the concept of dispatching Describe the use of overall variants Explain the use of selection variants Lesson: Navigating the Tabular Planning Table Demonstrate the useful features of the tabular planning table Lesson: Navigating the Graphical Planning Table Demonstrate the benefits of the graphical planning table 2014 SAP AG.

11 Unit 4 Capacity Leveling Unit Overview Once your evaluations have been completed, schedulers have an idea where there execution challenges are. Now that you have identified what resources have issues, you must now correct those issues so execution can proceed without complications. In this unit, you will explore the scheduling profile that controls how rescheduling will be accomplished with capacity leveling. Lesson: Dispatching Basics For Both Interactive And Mass Processing Use the graphical planning table to perform finite scheduling Dispatch overloaded work centers by adjusting preceding and succeeding operations Apply various options available to control scheduling directions and adjust capacity overloads Change directions when capacity overloads need to be adjusted to account for limited production capacity Lesson: Interactive Scheduling Controls Demonstrate different interactive dispatching controls Lesson: Using Floats to Limit Dispatching Demonstrate how queue time is used to control the distance an operation can be rescheduled during dispatching Demonstrate how order floats can be used to control the distance an operation can be rescheduled during dispatching 2014 SAP AG. All rights reserved. 5

12 Examine how shifting operation and order dates can have an effect on material availability Lesson: Dispatching Using Period Splits Explain how using time periods as constraints can improve your schedule when dispatching Lesson: Sequencing the Execution Schedule Examine how sequencing is performed when multiple items are dispatched Demonstrate how setup optimization works Explain how Inserting operations into an already optimized schedule is performed Lesson: Dispatching with Production Versions Explain how the planning table (REM) can be used for short-term rough capacity leveling Demonstrate how production versions can be used for machine leveling during dispatching activities 2014 SAP AG.

13 Unit 5 Advanced Capacity Planning Topics Unit Overview Time permitting, review additional means of modeling capacity adjustments, and examine how to set up capacity planning activities in the background. Lesson: Modeling Downtimes in Capacity Leveling (Optional) Explain how using special rules in a factory calendar you can shut down a production line Demonstrate how using intervals of available capacity you can shut down a production line Demonstrate how you can use production orders to block available capacity in regards to maintenance shut downs Describe how Maintenance orders can be used to block available capacity Lesson: Mass Processing in Capacity Leveling Demonstrate how to set up a background capacity leveling job 2014 SAP AG.
