To view the business processes supported under a different ERP software system module view the ERP Software Modules page and click the link to the appropriate module. The ERP business processes listed on this page pertain to ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP).

ERP software systems comprise a variety of software modules, each of these ERP modules houses a set of business processes that the particular ERP software package supports. A useful starting point for compiling an ERP software system spec / RFQ / RFI / ITT is listing the required system functionality, or business processes, that an ERP software system would need to support in order to be considered as viable for ERP system selection and implementation. The list of ERP business process listed below relates to the ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP) module of ERP software packages. View the high level ERP Software Modules page to see a list of other ERP system modules that encompass the various business processes required of a modern integrated ERP software package.

The standard ERP system business processes for ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP) are tabulated later on this page - the ERP business processes are descibed in more detail than on the ERP System Processes page. Next to each description of the ERP processes for ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP) here are the explanations as to why each particular business prcess may be important / relevant.

Central to any ERP software package is the ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP) software module - it is the cornerstone of an effective and integrated ERP software package. The below list of business processes can be used as first pass list of ERP software system functional requirements for your business in the area of ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP) that can be utilised to arrive at a broad brush ERP system spec of required functionality to assist your ERP selection process and subsequent implementation.

ROUGH CUT RESOURCE PLANNING (RCRP / RCCP) ERP Business Processes
ERP Business Process
ERP Process Explanation
Calculate resource profiles.  Carried out to create statements of the resources needed to produce one unit of a product, using information in the routings. 
Identify specific capacity requirements for long lead time items.  Carried out to identify specific long term capacity needs for particular items, by running individual MPS for particular long lead time items not covered by the planning horizon. 
Consider the constraints on resources, in rough cut resource plan (for the MPS) and resource requirements plan (for the production plan).  Carried out for resources with multiple constraints (i.e. capacity, batch sizes, times, different situations etc.) which may interact in a complex manner. 
Determine the resource (capacity) requirements (and identify critical resources / bottlenecks).  Carried out to provide information for production planning or master production scheduling on details about the resource requirements, and which resources are close to maximum capacity (i.e. identify bottlenecks). 
Undertake a detailed multi-level finite capacity analysis.  Carried out when the plant will not run in the MRP way due to significant inflexible critical resources (bottlenecks). A scheduling driven approach (e.g. OPT) is required where a detailed back schedule around critical resources is carried out, time phasing orders and highlighting problem areas (i.e. bottlenecks) for attention. 
Measure planned work centre output and actual output.  Carried out as a measure of MPS performance and to provide feedback information to planning. 
Calculate time phased resource (capacity) requirements (taking account of lead time offsets).  Carried out at production planning and / or MPS level to deal with significant capacity constraints indicating when and how much capacity is required, back scheduled from the finish date to indicate when each is required.

The 4engineer to order manufacturer manufacturing production planning project management ERP system EDM PDMETO web site is being used to fulfil three purposes, firstly, it is a vehicle to recruit engineer to order manufacturers to take part in the research project concerned with improving how ETO manufacturing companies plan production and manage their jobs / projects. Secondly, the 4engineer to order manufacturer manufacturing production planning project management ERP system EDM PDMETO web site is being used a means of disseminating the results of the research project as well as good practices employed by successful engineer-to-order manufacturers. Thirdly, the 4engineer to order manufacturer manufacturing production planning project management ERP system EDM PDMETO site will be developed into a portal site for ETO manufacturers.
