Definicja repair-based planning

The SNP heuristic is used as part of a repair-based planning process consisting of the heuristic, capacity leveling, and deployment. The heuristic processes each planning location in sequence and determines sourcing requirements. Heuristic processing lumps all requirements for a given product in the location into one requirement for the period. The heuristic determines the valid sources and quantities based on predefined percentages for each source, then passes the requirements through the supply chain to calculate a plan; however, this plan is not necessarily feasible. The planner uses capacity leveling to formulate a feasible plan. In this sense, the planner must repair the plan to make it feasible.
