Abstract

The planning and decision support capabilities of the manufacturing planning and control system, which provides the core of any enterprise resource planning package, can be enhanced substantively by the inclusion of a decision support module as an add-on at the midterm planning level. This module, called advanced resource planning (ARP), provides a parameter-setting process, with the ultimate goal of yielding realistic information about production lead times for scheduling purposes, sales and marketing, strategic and operational decision making, and suppliers and customers. This article illustrates the ARP approach with reports from several real-life implementations by large industrial companies.
