Hi Mariano,
Really very good explanation.
Another disadvantage of "Implementing planning time fence" is:
Whatever the planning proposals (Eg: Planned orders) which lies within the planning time fence zone, will NOT be deleted during next MRP run, EVEN THOUGH its pegged requirements (Eg: the pegged requirement for the planned order is the PIR) are deleted.
I am drawing below business points to be considered before opt for planning time fence. IS THE BELOW POINTS RIGHT?
Q1. If manufacturing stability is highest concern rather than quicker response to emergency customer demands, we can opt for planning time fence. In my case, my manufacturing facility can accommodate any sudden sales spikes since i have infinite capacity in my shop floor. With this condition, implementing planning time fence will not be right choice. RIGHT?
Q2. If the forecast values (PIRs) are getting modified very frequently, implementing planning time fence will NOT be good choice. RIGHT?
Q3. If the procurement lead time of my BOM components are very long (eg: 40 days), implementing planning time fence will BE GOOD CHOICE. IS THIS RIGHT?
Thanks
