What is 'sequencing' in SAP SCM-APO-PPS-MMP - Model Mix Planning?

sequencing - Overview

• Component: SCM-APO-PPS-MMP

• Component Name: Model Mix Planning

• Description: Function in which uses takt-based scheduling to determine the sequence of planned orders in the short-term planning horizon. Various complex procedures can be used to determine the sequence, such as the genetic algorithm. In the sequence schedule, you can manually change the sequence determined by the planning run.

  Key Concepts: 
  Sequencing is a feature of Model Mix Planning (MMP) in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). It is used to determine the order in which products are produced in a manufacturing environment. Sequencing helps to optimize production by ensuring that the most profitable products are produced first, while also taking into account any constraints such as limited resources or time. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Sequencing can be used to determine the order in which products should be produced. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on the complexity of the production environment. When sequencing manually, users can specify the order in which products should be produced. When sequencing automatically, users can specify constraints such as limited resources or time, and the system will generate an optimal sequence based on these constraints. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When sequencing manually, it is important to consider all factors that may affect production, such as resource availability and time constraints. Additionally, it is important to consider the profitability of each product when determining the sequence.
