Intended learning outcomes: Describe demand management, sales and operations planning as well as resource requirements planning. Explain master scheduling and rough-cut capacity planning. Disclose supplier scheduling: blanket order processing, release, and coordination.
This section highlights in depth the long-term business process in planning & control, that is long-term planning, or master planning. One the one hand, long-term planning is important due to its temporal range. On the other hand, presenting the long-term business process here makes it possible to explain how the planning & control tasks in Figure 5.1.4.2 act together without having to resort to an overly complex method of presenting the material. This section contains detailed information on the different tasks presented in Figure 5.1.2.1.
