MRP<br />

Why used <strong>Planning</strong> tools like APO or I2?<br />

APO and I2 are Finite PLANNING tools. When MRP runs with APO or I2 (or Red<br />

Pepper or Manugistics), it takes Capacity issues into consideration. MRP in <strong>SAP</strong> R/3<br />

Core does not, it assumes infinite capacity available. (MRP only looks at material<br />

availablity.)<br />

However, <strong>SAP</strong> R/3 DOES do finite SCHEDULING, which is where the system<br />

'dispatches" operations on a production order until it fills up the capacity available, then<br />

moves to the next time period and dispatches until that period is filled up. In <strong>SAP</strong> speak,<br />

that is called capacity leveling.<br />

I believe APO should only be used in very large companies (billions) because of the<br />

amount of master data that must be maintained, and that data better be ACURATE, or<br />

you've wasted a heck of a lot of time. By the way, APO stands for Advanced Planner and<br />

Optimizer tool, obviously a German sort of name!<br />
