Heuristics requireement?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Heuristics is a unconstrained plan with respect to materials and capacity?

Then why is it required for a planner.......what direction will a unconstrained Demand/ Supply picture give to a planner

Please let me know

Thanks,

Hi SS,

Heuristics will work in situations where the demand is greater than

supplies and supply is not a constraint at the business level (ie

flexibility is more in terms of using third party business). Hence, for

a planner, it helps in arriving at the concencus demand that can be

produced within the available capacity.

Dear

SNP Heuristic is Mid & long term Rough cut capacity planning.

During the planning , we consider all the demand and plan for material and respective capacity at work centers.

With the help of planning results , planner are able to take the long term strategic decisions for example plan for another **** for increasing capacity or new sourcing for more material requirement.

Hi,

Heuristics first does un constrained planning. Then Planner has to Step in to level the capacity.
