Main functions of Enterprise Planning

• Supports different types of production systems and concepts:
• Repetitive - Cyclic Planning, taking into account setup optimization and sequence dependent changeover times.
• Semi-process - Cyclic Planning or work load control (when setup optimization plays no role).
• Job shop - Work Load Control.
• Considers material and capacity constraints. Plans materials and work load against finite production capacity. For BaanERP, other types of constraints are added: buffer and waiting time constraints, minimum utilization constraints, sequence constraints.
• Operates on multiple planning levels.
• Uses multi level Product Family Planning.
• Uses multi level Bill of Critical Materials.
