The Resource Plan module enables you to check resource loads for the product line plan and the master schedule and verify that there are enough resources to produce the projected quantities. Validate the production plan and master schedule before submitting them to MRP for detailed planning.

Introduction to Resource Plan
Describes how the Resource Plan module works.

Setting Up Resource Plans
Illustrates how to set up individual resource plans.

Calculating Resource Plans
Describes how product line plans and manufacturing schedules are used to calculate resource plans.

The Resource Plan module lets you evaluate the feasibility of a production plan or master schedule, providing a basis for adjusting the plan or adding resources.

Resource plans indicate the load on each key resource—that is, the demand the production plan or master schedule places on that resource. Demand is then compared to that resource’s capacity.
