Intended learning outcomes: Explain rough-cut capacity planning with two rough-cut work centers and the result after moving the completion date of one operation.
Continuation from previous subsection (14.4.2)
Figure 14.4.2.3 shows the same resource profile, this time with two rough-cut work centers. The desired completion date causes an overload at rough-cut work center 2. In Figure 14.4.2.4, it has been brought into line by deferring the completion date by two periods.

Detailed planning may nevertheless still be needed if we use short-term rough-cut planning. The individual rough-cut operations for the order under consideration can then be shown separately. It is only by recording interdependencies between operations in the network plan that we are able to move the fifth operation forward from the period [19–20] (overload) to the period [18–19] (no overload), as shown in Figure 14.4.2.4. To be able to work efficiently and interactively, it must be possible to view all the work centers at the same time. The entire resource profile for an order can then be moved at all the work centers simultaneously.
