Resource Cost Values (cprao3120m000)

	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.

Related topics Scenarios in Enterprise Planning Plan Level The plan level for which you want to specify the resource parameters. Related topics Plan levels and product families 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. Related topics Optimization algorithm for logistic parameters Overtime Tariff Percentage The percentage by which the operation rate is higher, if you use overtime. Related topics Optimization algorithm for logistic parameters Risk Percentage by Day The chance, per day, that an item becomes obsolete. Related topics Computing the cost of obsolete items 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) Related topics Computing lot-size-related costs To optimize logistic parameters 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.
