P2M 202 ยท CAPACITY AND SCHEDULING
Can the plan actually be made on time?
MRP can create a supply proposal without proving that components, capacity, and operations can execute on the promised date. Feasibility is a separate planning and production decision.

Questions that determine the outcome
Scheduling assumptions
Lead times, routing durations, scheduling margins, and work-center formulas create dates; explain the assumption before overriding the result.
Capacity and operations
Work centers, available capacity, operation sequence, and finite or operational constraints determine whether the schedule is feasible.
Component readiness
A dated production order still needs components in the right plant, storage location, and stock status before release and confirmation.
P2M SCENARIO
MRP creates an order that cannot meet the required date
Separate supply creation from feasible execution; check routing, work center, capacity, components, release status, and the operational recovery decision.
- Do not promise from an MRP date alone.
- Check component and capacity constraints together.
- Feed the actual confirmation and receipt back into replanning.
Use 303 for operational execution and 606 to diagnose a live failure.
