TEEN Designing and Using an Interactive MRP-CRP System Based on Human Responsibility

Generally, a production plan will be divided into long-range, medium-range, and shortrange (Hax and Candea, 1984). The long-range (years) plan is necessary to develop facilities and equipment, suppliers, and production processes and becomes, in turn, the constraints on the medium-and short-range plans. The longrange capacity planning problem is not handled in this chapter.
