Intended learning outcomes: Disclose basic principles of materials management, scheduling and capacity management concepts. Produce an overview of materials management, scheduling and capacity management techniques. Differentiate between available-to-promise and capable-to-promise.
This section gives a brief overview of logistics business methods and techniques used for detailed planning and scheduling, as well as for execution and control of operations in the areas of distribution, production, and procurement. We will show the basic considerations that lead to various methods of solving the tasks presented in the reference model in Figure 5.1.4.2. The methods themselves will be the subject of more detailed, later chapters.
