Document Summary

Resource plan: aggregate production plan- sales and operations planning. How much do we need to produce each period. Estimate the capacity required to meet those requirements. How much work will it take to meet the production schedule. Use ratios to allocate the capacity required to the individual work centers. Potential weakness may be use of historical data. You may have to shift capacity around and this is all about the best answer in the situation in anything from operations to logistics. *notes from class: this is a high up level using the mps.
