PP/DS advantages (7)

A

PP/DS plans with exact times in hours and minutes. even for dependent requirements.
A wide range of standard heuristics can be used for the flexible design of planning processes, including a
bottom-up heuristic for bidirectional planning.
A multi-level view of material availability and capacity availability (pegging) is possible.
Enhanced options for capacity planning are available.
The creation of multi-level feasible planned order for sales orders is possible with Capable-to-Promise (CTP).
Optimization procedures to minimize setup times, setup costs, scheduling delays, alternative resource
selection, and so on, are conducted within Detailed Scheduling (DS).
