Enterprise Resource Planning

notes Delivery Performance: Displays details concerning delivery performance.
1. Demand – total customer demand, forecast, non – consumed forecast

2. Customer Orders – sales revenues, delivery performance percentage, average and
max lateness
3. End Supply Orders – lateness of supply orders, average and max lateness
4. Causes of Lateness – ranking of top 10 most important constraints.

Resource Utilization Performance: Displays details concerning resource utilization.
1. Capacity Utilization – total capacity available, capacity used (hours and percentage),
average and max

2. Overload – resources overloaded, periods overloaded, average and max
3. Causes of Lateness – ranking of top 10 most important resource constraints
Inventory Performance: Displays details concerning inventory performance

2. Days Coverage – average, min, max

3. Problems – periods with negative projected inventory balances, under safety stock
4. Causes of Lateness – ranking of top 10 most important raw material constraints.
Financial Performance: Displays details concerning financial performance
1. Profitability – revenue, expenses, total profit

2. SYNC Indicators – throughput, inventory, operating expenses, turnover,
productivity
3. Revenue – sales, forecaste, total
4. Expenses – Operating, purchasing, total

In addition, BaanSCS Planner contains a number of key graphs. ‘Lateness’ is the problem
planners spend most of their time on – identifying lateness, determining causes of lateness,
and trying to prevent lateness in a proactive manner through better visualization of plans.
The Order Lateness Graph is part of an overall sub – system that supports these activities.
The objective is to minimize or eliminate expediting activities in the plant, and provide
consistently high delivery service to customers.
The Supply Network Analysis Graph shows a time – phased network of supply orders,
displayed as coloured blocks, which are associated with a particular customer order or
end – level supply order. Its purpose is to identify causes of lateness – such as raw material,
capacity, or both – through the use of block colours.
Effective planning and managing production resource utilization is one of the key
responsibilities of the planner. The Resource Utilization Graph displays capacity utilization
percentage over time for a given resource. Resources can be designated by the planner as
either unconstrained, constrained within a time fence, or fully constrained. If unconstrained,
the Planning Engine assumes infinite capacity. If constrained, the Planning Engine level -
loads the resource based on available capacity. At the start of the planning process, the
planner can view critical bottle neck resources in an unconstrained mode to determine if
there is enough aggregate capacity to meet company production plan objectives. After the
planner has leveled the plan, he or she can view in detail the orders loaded for a particular
time period and manage variations in capacity utilization.
