REM heuristic - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  The REM heuristic is a tool used in the Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPS) component of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. It is an algorithm that helps to optimize the production planning process by determining the most efficient sequence of operations for a given production order. The REM heuristic takes into account factors such as resource availability, material availability, and production costs. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The REM heuristic can be used to optimize the production planning process by determining the most efficient sequence of operations for a given production order. To use the REM heuristic, users must first define the resources and materials that will be used in the production process. Then, users must define the sequence of operations that will be used to produce the desired product. Finally, users must enter the parameters for the REM heuristic, such as resource availability, material availability, and production costs. Once these parameters are entered, the REM heuristic will generate an optimized sequence of operations for the given production order. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the REM heuristic, it is important to ensure that all resources and materials are accurately defined in order to get an accurate result. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all parameters are entered correctly in order to get an optimized result.
