MRPII is an automated scheduling system that continuously calculates the times when the production orders will start or will complete based on the remaining quantity, work process and capacity within the resources to carry out operations.

By breaking down the process into individual operations and assess the capacity of each resource, the order is calculated and the load plan for the resource is updated.

The system is flexible in use and can plan both forward and backward in time - in addition to use both limited and unlimited capacity of resources in calculation.

Scheduling Method
(Unlimited / Limited) capacity can be selected in each production order. If selected resource is to be covering with more hours than it has capacity for, or if the capacity is to determine how much load that the maximum can be ordered from a resource.

Planning Direction
(Forward / Backward), is set depending on whether you want MRPII to calculate a start-up date based on a wanted complete date or MRPII to calculate the finish date based on a specified start date. In any case, the order process with the operation details are being considered and calculated and measured against the resources that will be used. If there is spare capacity or not.

If direction Forward is selected, the MRPII will use the start-up date of the order - then "roll" through all the operations in the process to calculate the starting time and end time on every operation. Regardless of whether an operation is started or whether it is partially completed (ie, that part of the quantity is completed), the MRPII calculate the remaining time in accordance with:

Planned order quantity
- Finished order quantity
= Rest order quantity x operation run time per unit

MRPII will constantly try to cover the remaining time to calculate when the resource can perform the operation.

Features:

• Calculation of the Work Order start and finish
• Calculation of Operation Start and finish
• Calculation with Unlimited / Limited capacity
• Calculation with Forward / Backward direction
• Calculation of load plan for resources

Resources
Depending on whether it is selected "Infinite capacity" or not in order, the MRPII retrieve information about the capacity of the resource that will conduct the "job".

If there is enough capacity, the whole operation will be conducted coherent alternative operation will be divided into smaller part of operations that will be shifted to the next available "time slot" in the resource load plan and complete this.

The result is that all orders will be put forward and achieve a new start / end dates with their operations - in addition to all the load plans with all the resources are updated.

Operation Plan
The details will also be posted in the Operations Plan in Production Module, where each resource has its own load plan and calendar of tasks to be performed

Overview
The manager of production then have a list of what to do, when and by whom.

A business that uses Mime Enterprise with MRPII planning is stronger and have greater freedom to change the conditions for production orders and keep track of the consequences this will have on the implementation of production.
