Overview of Online Capacity Planning
Online capacity planning enables you to generate a material and a capacity plan simultaneously. You can analyze and maintain material and capacity plans from the same Planner Workbench. You can get immediate information about whether your material requirements plan is realistic given your capacity constraints. You can also identify capacity problems--overload or underload--and make changes to balance capacity requirements with material requirements. Finally, you can run what-if simulations to see the effects of changing part of your material or capacity plan before you implement it.
