In this step, you define the range of coverage profile for calculating the range of coverage.

Using the range of coverage functions, you can detemrine a safety stock level that is based on requirements and the range of coverage. The dynamic safety stock is automatically adjusted to changes in requirements and is fully available for MRP.

The calculation of the dynamic safety stock can be limited - on the one hand by entering maximum and minimum ranges of coverage. And on the other you can determine various period for the validity of the range of coverage.

Note

The dynamic safety stock is calculated in the planning run of the order proposal quantity. In the MRP evaluation, you can check the parameters used to calculate the dynamic safety stock in the period totals display.

The dynamic safety stock is calculated using the following formula: average daily requirements * range of coverage

The individual parameters are described below:

  • Average daily requirements

    The calculation of the average daily requirements is carried out using the following formula:

    Reqmts in the specified periods/number of days in the total period length

You must maintain the following parameters for the calculation of the average daily requirements:

  • Period indicator
    • You use this indicator to determine the calendar period for which you want to carry out the average daily requirements.
    Here you can enter the following:
    * weeks (W)
    * months (M)
    * periods according to the planned calendar (K)

  • Type of period length
    • You use this indicator to determine the length of the individual periods in detail.
    Here you can enter the following:
    * workdays
    * calendar days
    * standard days
    If you select standard days as a period length, you must determine the number of days per period in the field, "No.standard days"
    If you set standard days as the period length, you must enter the number of days per period in the "NO.standard days" field.

  • Number of periods
    • Here, you define the number of periods you use to calculate the average daily requirements.

  • Determining the range of coverage

    You can determine the range of coverage for a maximum of three periods and you can maintain different ranges of coveragefor each period.

    To do this, you must define the ranges of coverage and the periods in the screen section entitled, "Determine range of coverage".

    You also have the option of limiting the range of coverage in each of the three periods by entering a minimum and a maximum range of coverage. The system checks whether the actual range of coverage (available quantity / average daily requirements) lies below the minimum range of coverage or above the maximum range of coverage. If this is the case, the dynamic safety stock level is recalculated using the informtaion for the target range of coverage.

Example

  • Average requirements
    • Reqmts in the 1st period: 1000
    • Reqmts in the 2nd period: 2000
    • Calendar period: week
    • Period length: standard days (5 days)
    • Number of periods: 2

Calculation of the average requirements:

(1000 + 2000)/(2*5) = 3000/10 = 30

  • Range of coverage
    • Range of coverage for period 1: 2
    • Period 1: 2 weeks
    • Range of coverage for period 2: 4
    • Period 2: 3 weeks

Average requirements * range of coverage 1

300 * 2 = 600

This means that for the first two weeks from the MRP date, 60 pieces are planned as safety stock.

Average requirements * range of coverage 2

300 * 4 = 1200

This means that for the following 3 weeks, 120 pieces are planned as safety stock.
