Example of Safety Stock Planning with a Resource Capacity Constraint
This example shows how the supply planning process plans safety stock in a constrained supply plan with a capacity constraint.
Safety Stock Planning with a Resource Capacity Constraint
For this example, let's use these parameters:
-
Item D has a demand on Day 7
-
Resource capacity constraint is 80 units per day
-
Item D has a safety stock amount of 100 units from Day 1 through Day 7
In this scenario,
-
The planning process created supply for 80 units only on Day 1.
-
The safety stock quantity of 100 units on Day 1 can't be completely satisfied because the plan can't exceed the resource capacity constraint (80 units) to meet the safety stock quantity.
