Implementation hardware architecture

Single Machine Architecture Two-machine architecture

Single machine same instance and same server

Two/multiple machines ASCP, DP and express are different instances and are on

different servers

Database links are setup between source and destination instances for data flow

between ERP and ASCP/DP and back to ERP in two/multi-instance planning

Demand transition in Multi-Org planning (unconstrained)

Demand Supply netting off

ASCP Scheduling Look-Ahead Heuristic

Scheduling adjusting demand as per capacity constraints

Demand is scheduled with due date as priority

Backward scheduling

Lower priority demands are scheduled first

Higher priority demands are scheduled next

Forward scheduling

If backward scheduling generates due dates in the past, then all demands are right justifiedfrom the current date

Scheduling buckets

Days

Hours

Minutes

ASCP Scheduling organization setup

Organizations tab

Single organization scheduling

Sales Order is the only source of demand

ASCP Scheduling constraints setup

Constraints tab

Constrained Plan

Resource Capacity is constrained

Scheduling is in minutes bucket


48/53

ASCP Scheduling contd

Workday calendar defines only one shift from 9:00 to 17:00 hours

Plan is run on 30th June

Sales Order Request Date 30/6/2006 Quantity = 100 (SO1)

Sales Order Request Date 07/07/2006 Quantity = 140 (SO2)

As per Look Ahead Heuristic scheduling, SO1 has higher priority than SO2

In the planner workbench the planned order dates and quantities look as follows-


49/53

ASCP Scheduling - logic

The foll: diagram explains the minutes scheduling logic (note: 6 items per houris the resource capacity in the routing)

Demand for SO1 in hours = 100/6 = 16 hours 40 mins

Demand for SO2 in hours = 140/6 = 23 hours 20 mins

26 27 28 29 30 03 05 06 07 10 11 12

16 hrs 40 mins

23 hrs 20 mins

Backward Scheduling

26 27 28 29 30 03 05 06 07 10 11 12

16 hrs 40 mins

Forward Scheduling(right justification)

9:40 am on 6th July

23 hrs 20 mins

5 pm on 10th July

Priority 1

Scheduled second

Priority 2

Scheduled first


50/53

Unconstrained Plan - setup

The Constrained Plan checkbox should be Unchecked


51/53

Unconstrained Plan - output

There is NO resource constraint of 6 items per hour as per routing setup

The Planned Order against each SO demand is generated fully the very

next day

Difference between Constrained plans and Unconstrained


52/53

plans

Constrained plans

Resource capacity can be constrained

Supplier capacity can be constrained

Scheduling is possible in days/hours/minutes buckets

Time stamp indicates the exact shift time of planned orders for

hour/minutes scheduling

Time stamp indicates 23:59 for days bucket (end-of day in a 24 hour

cycle) scheduling

Optimization is possible

Unconstrained plans

No resource or supplier capacity constraints

No scheduling or optimization possible

Time stamp is not relevant for planned orders

Time stamp always shows 0:00 in unconstrained plans
