Question 88

Which of the following planning modules considers the shortest-range planning goals?

A.Capacity requirementsplanning(CRP)
B.Input/output analysis
C.Resource planning
D.Rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP)

Correct Answer: A

Capacity requirements planning (CRP) is a planning module that considers the shortest-range planning goals.
CRP is a process of determining the amount of available capacity and comparing it with the required capacity to execute the planned orders in the master production schedule (MPS) and the material requirements planning (MRP). CRP is usually done at the work center level and for a time horizon of a few weeks or months. CRP helps to identify and resolve capacity issues, such as overloads or underloads, and to adjust the production plan accordingly. CRP is the most detailed and accurate method of capacity planning, as it considers the actual routings, lead times, and lot sizes of the orders. The other options are not correct, as they either consider longer-range planning goals or less detailed capacity information:
*Input/output analysis is a technique of monitoring the input (planned orders) and output (actual production) of a work center or a product family, and comparing them with the available capacity. Input/output analysis is usually done at the aggregate level and for a time horizon of a few months or quarters. Input/output analysis helps to measure the performance of the production plan and to identify and correct deviations from the plan.
*Resource planning is a process of determining the long-range capacity requirements for labor, equipment, facilities, and other resources, based on the sales and operations plan (S&OP). Resource planning is usually done at the aggregate level and for a time horizon of a few years. Resource planning helps to support the strategic decisions and investments related to the resource capacity.
*Rough-cut capacity planning (RCCP) is a process of verifying the feasibility of the master production schedule (MPS) in terms of the available capacity of critical resources, such as key machines or labor skills.
RCCP is usually done at the product family level and for a time horizon of a few months or quarters. RCCP helps to validate the MPS and to identify and resolve potential capacity bottlenecks or gaps. References:
