You can configure the SAP Advanced Planning & Optimization (SAP APO) Supply Network Planning (SNP) module to create a real-time shop floor plan based on production frequency. This approach is useful if a company has dedicated manufacturing lines and manufacturing weeks in a month for different product groups, and wants to generate the production plan by looking at factors such as time schedules and manufacturing resources. SAP APO SNP can generate a production plan that the shop floor can execute.
Companies sometimes want to perform long-term capacity planning in a tight production schedule with different production lines allocated to product groups. This kind of situation occurs in the consumer products industry where companies manufacture products or product groups on dedicated production lines in specific time periods during a month or quarter.
