Resource Cost Values (cprao3120m000)

Use this session to specify the resource parameters that form the input for the optimization of lot sizes and order intervals in the Optimize Lot Sizing (cprao3200m000) session.

You can specify:

  • The time period for which you optimize the logistic parameters in the Start Date field and the Finish Date field.
  • The cost factors that influence the optimization procedure. Use the following fields to do so: - Overtime Percentage- Overtime Tariff Percentage- Risk Percentage by Day- Inventory Cost Percentage
  • The priority of the resource in the Priority Number field.

Highlight the resource for which LN must optimize the lot sizes, and select the Optimize Lot Sizing option from the appropriate menu to start the Optimize Lot Sizing (cprao3200m000) session.

 

Scenario
The scenario for which you can define the resource parameters.
Plan Level
The plan level for which you want to specify the resource parameters.
Resource
The resource for which you want to specify the parameters.
Start Date
The first date of the period for which LN performs the optimization.
Note

The demand data is maintained by plan period. The computation works best if you choose the start date of a plan period as the start date of the computation.

Finish Date
The last date of the period for which LN performs the optimization.
Note

The demand data is maintained by plan period. The computation works best if you choose the end date of a plan period as the end date of the computation.

Overtime Percentage
The percentage by which you allow LN to increase the available capacity through overtime.
Overtime Tariff Percentage
The percentage by which the operation rate is higher, if you use overtime.
Risk Percentage by Day
The chance, per day, that an item becomes obsolete.
Inventory Cost Percentage
The percentage used to calculate an estimate of the inventory carrying cost.

The inventory cost percentage is the cost per day to store an item, expressed as a percentage of the item standard cost.

You can estimate the daily inventory carrying cost with the following formula: IC = AIL * (IP/100) * C where IC = inventory carrying cost per day AIL = average inventory level IP = inventory cost percentage C = material value (unit cost)

Priority Number
The relative importance of a resource.

Enter a high number for the most important resources.

If an item's production process involves multiple resources, the optimized order parameters are based on the resource with the highest priority.
