PPDS and SNP Heuristics

[Former Member]

Hi All,

can anyone please let me know, what exactly is the difference between SNP and PPDS Heu. ???

Thanks in advance,

Prasad.

Hi Prasad,

1) SNP heuristic:-

The heuristic is used as part of a repair-based planning process consisting of the heuristic, capacity leveling, and deployment. The heuristic run processes each planning location sequentially and determines sourcing requirements. The heuristic processing groups all demands for a given product at a location into one demand for the bucket. The heuristic run determines valid sources of supply and corresponding quantity based on pre-defined percentages for each source of supply (quota arrangements), or procurement priorities for transportation lanes and production process models (PPMs) or production data structures (PDS). The demands are then passed through the supply chain to calculate a plan. However, this plan is not necessarily feasible. The planner can then use capacity leveling to adjust the plan and formulate a feasible plan.

2) PPDS Heuristic:-

We run ppds heuristic to create procurement proposals for uncovered product requirements and to To carry out other planning tasks for products or orders.

In PP/DS, a heuristic is a planning function that executes planning for selected objects (products, resources, operations, or line networks, depending on the planning focus). The heuristic does this using a particular heuristic-specific procedure.

there are heuristics with which you can execute multilevel planning according to low-level codes for selected products, or with which you can schedule operations on selected resources in a specific sequence.
