capacity overload - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Capacity overload is a term used in SAP Lean Planning and Operations (SAP LPO). It occurs when the capacity of a production line or resource is exceeded, resulting in an inability to meet demand. This can lead to delays in production and delivery, as well as increased costs.
  
  How to use it: 
  In SAP LPO, capacity overload can be monitored and managed using the Capacity Overload Monitor. This tool allows users to view the current capacity of a production line or resource, as well as the demand for that resource. If the demand exceeds the capacity, users can take action to reduce the demand or increase the capacity.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When monitoring capacity overload, it is important to consider both short-term and long-term solutions. Short-term solutions may include reducing demand or increasing capacity temporarily, while long-term solutions may include investing in new equipment or hiring additional staff.
