Capacity Requirements Planning.

Match the work in front of you to the capacity behind it.

01

Load Profile

Hour-by-hour view of every work center.

  • Alternative routing suggestions

CRP FAQ

Capacity Requirements Planning — questions buyers actually ask.

What problem does Capacity Requirements Planning solve?
CRP makes sure the schedule MRP just produced is actually runnable. NexliOne CRP shows hour-by-hour load per work center, highlights overloads before they hit the floor, and lets planners shift load to alternative routings or re-balance the schedule.
Does NexliOne CRP show hour-by-hour load profiles per work center?
Yes. Time-bucketed load is overlaid against capacity with overload highlighting and drill-through to the underlying work orders. Scenario overlays let you compare the as-is plan to a proposed change.
Can NexliOne CRP enforce skill-based and tooling constraints?
Yes. Calendar-aware finite loading respects skill matrices and tooling availability — operations don't schedule onto a work center when the qualified operator or required tool isn't there. Predecessor enforcement holds the routing sequence.
How does NexliOne CRP highlight and resolve overloaded work centers?
Overloads surface with both numeric variance and visual overload bars in the load profile. Alternative routing suggestions propose where the load can shift; planners commit the change directly from the CRP view.
How does CRP differ from APS in NexliOne?
CRP focuses on visibility — does the plan fit the capacity. APS focuses on optimization — generating the best feasible schedule given constraints. CRP is faster to run and useful for daily/weekly planning; APS is what you reach for when you need an optimized schedule across the network.
