capacity planning for inspection

[Former Member]

Hi,

     I would like to plan for capacity required to complete inspection lots at our labs. This should include inspection types for 01, 03, 04 and 08. Is there a way I can do this in SAP ? I am planning to use an enhancement and create a planned order for every inspection lot (1:1 relation). But I don't know how that will work. Does anyone have any ideas ?

Thanks

Hi GS,

I think that's a good question, might not have been explored much.

I think, you can try to utilize the potential of "Quality Work Center" attached to inspection operations, and activate Machine and Labor as capacity categories, use relevant formulas and try the standard Capacity planning process for PP.

Please do further search on this subject and work with PP consultant to use this functionality. Finally share your results once you are done

Thanks,
