Master planning should into account the operation link type (Hard/Soft)


During master planning scheduling with finite capacity (one bottleneck resource is required in the middle of the route) if insufficient capacity is detected then the system applies 'Forward schedulling' method.


This may end up in planning the first operations too early w/r to the 'bottleneck' operation.


This is not acceptable when dealing with 'process' or 'food' manufacturing : you can't afford to store too much / at all.


This operation link is taken into account when rescheduling batch orders, and it should be adopted by master planning.
