Infor LX & BPCS Tip: Capacity Planning – Resource Requirements Reports

Resource Requirements Report (CAP260D) generates five capacity reports:

  • Labor Resource Requirements
  • Machine Resource Requirements
  • Setup Resource Requirements
  • Setup and Labor Requirements
  • Setup and Machine Requirements

The Labor Resource Requirement report lists requirements that are calculated from the run hours on each routing and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR). The calculation does not consider crew size.

The Machine Resource Requirement report lists machine hour requirements based on routings and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR).

The Setup Resource Requirements report lists setup labor requirements based on routings and the MRP/MPS demand in the Capacity Requirements Detail File (LCR).

The last two reports combine setup hours with labor hours and setup hours with machine hours to provide two separate reports that summarize the requirements by work center with totals by department. The system computes requirements similarly to the way it computes them on the other reports.

Tips:  LX | BPCS | M3

Exit Points is a new feature in Infor LX Version 8 that allows users to customize, without changing the original LX source code. Exit points provide a way for you to call an external program and pass a set of parameters to implement any needed custom logic. By using Exit Points, LX customers are able to modify the software, and still take advantage of new releases from Infor. Exit points are available in many LX programs. A complete list is available on the Infor support website.

Poor performance indicators make for poor outcomes.

Companies today continue to tolerate and accept how labor and production information is recorded, and the reliability on that information is questionable. In addition to collecting labor and production information, there are many other pieces of information manually recorded from the shop floor.

A critical element of information for productivity throughput would be to examine how much time the work center or machine was actually up and running. Downtime is another critical element of data that is usually manually recorded along with a reason identifying what caused production to stop. If this information is not provided on a timely and accurate basis, then what good is it anyway? Forms are filled out, data may or may not be keyed to a spreadsheet, the forms are sorted and filed, but is anybody really looking at the information that was recorded? Think about the amount of time it takes to manage the manual collection of information from your shop floor. 

What would real time access to data mean to your organization?
The benefits:

  1. Real Time Production Visibility
  2. Reduced Paperwork Load
  3. Downtime and Scrap Visibility
  4. WIP Inventory Visibility
  5. Improve Efficiency, Capacity Utilization
