Use this activity to retrieve plan demands for this Kanban
circuit for use in Kanban calculations. You can specify the demand source, either
Sales Quotation/Customer Order, Customer
Schedule/Customer Order, MS/MRP
or Production Schedule, and the date range to sample. If the part is planned
in Master Schedule Level 1, the system retrieves all Master Schedule receipt quantities
for the date range. If the part is planned on MRP, the system retrieves all net
requirements for the date range from the last MRP run. If the part is production
scheduled, the system retrieves all component requirements for the part for this date
range in current production schedules.
If the demand is directly obtained from the sales
quotations and the customer orders, the system retrieves all the release planned sales
quotations and customer orders that have not been pegged to the supplies already. If
the demand is directly obtained from the customer schedules and customer orders, the
system retrieves all the planned customer schedules and customer orders that
have not been pegged to the supplies
already. As an alternative, you can enter your own
demand quantity and choose Kanban Circuit as the demand source.
This activity requires that a demand exists, in either the Kanban Circuit, the Production Schedule, the Master Schedule Level 1, the Material Requirements Plan, the Sales Quotation, the Customer Order, or the Customer Schedule demand source. You can specify the preferred number of days to sample in the Date Range (Days) field of the Kanban Basic Data window.
As a result of this activity the system retrieves a profile of all the demands for this date range and stores them for use in Kanban simulations. The new profile overwrites any previous demand profiles. Also, the system calculates the average demand and stores it for use in Kanban calculations.
