Cumulative production lead time

Enterprise Planning uses the cumulative order lead time (COLT) to correctly set the minimum value of the items planning horizon.

For manufactured items, the COLT consists of:

  • The lead time of the item itself.
  • The longest COLT among all the item's components in the BOM, which includes the plan items that you defined as critical in master planning.

The lead time of the item itself consists of:

  • The order lead time defined in the Item - Production (tiipd0101m000) session.
  • The outbound lead time defined in the Item Data by Warehouse (whwmd2110s000) session.
  • The safety time defined in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.
  • The extra lead time defined in the Items - Ordering (tcibd2100m000) session.

In the Check Horizons (cprpd1200m000) session, you can fill in the following fields to influence the way in which Enterprise Planning calculates/updates the COLT:

  • Additional Lead Time: extra lead time that Enterprise Planning adds to the item's COLT and noncritical COLT.
  • Order Lead-Time Multiplier: a factor that Enterprise Planning applies to increase the total lead time of the involved item.
