| Abstract | This thesis study is the case of Siemens Ltd., The main problem of company is on the
production-planning department since the beginning stage of capacity planning. If the
capacity planning has mistakes, then it will make the further scheduling infeasible. It
causes production the products finish late and cannot satisfy customer.
MRP II has many shortcomings; espec iall y it ignores the capacity constraints of the
manufacturing equipment and worker that are needed for production of the planned order
quantity of the product during MPS generation process. If actual resource capacity is not
enough, then that plan will be unattainable, and necessary to rescheduling.
The main objective of this study is to generate the MPS as per available capacity. Rough
Cut Capacity Planning shou ld be feasible in the shop floor at the beginning stage of
planning. Two conditions of capacity, Infinite capacity and Finite capacity, are proposed
in the study. The algorithm of schedu ling uses concept of backward and forward
scheduling.
The software is developed and proposed for the production planner to make rough cut
capacity planning and production planning easier and reduce the computation time by
using Microsoft Access. Final ly, future research related to this study is suggested.
