Procedure To Do Capacity Leveling

Capacity leveling means for e.g. : If you consider a work center (machine) whose cycle time is 60 sec, then in a shift it can produce 60 components, if it works for 1 hr (considering 100% efficiency).  If you want 70 components to be produced in 1 hr then the work center is overloaded & at that time you should assign components to other work center which are underloaded.

Capacity leveling after order creation:

This process covers capacity leveling of requirements from the production process, monitoring the capacity after different periods, and how the system determines the new values for the current order after changes are made to the quantities, times, and dates.
