MPC reference architecture framework - RCCP/Resource loading

7 important questions on MPC reference architecture framework - RCCP/Resource loading

In what is RCCP still flexible?

Capacity and time flexibility

Rder acceptance (OA) and prduction planning are often functionally dispersed which means OA is not based on actual workload. What is the cause?

Real time hype

OA is often not based on actual workload what is the result?

  • Overloaded system, no resource flexibility;
  • Unrealistic due dates, no time flexibility;
  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding

How can capacity violations be repaired? [6]
What is the downside?

  • Shift jobs in time;
  • Split jobs in two or more weeks;
  • Increase order lead time
    • decreasing start time;
    • increasing completion time;
  • Negotiate due date violation with customer;
  • Expand resource capacity temporarily;
  • Subcontract jobs or entire order;


Options are difficult to evaluate and/or costly and do not guarantee feasibility.

What is a hybrid approach considering RCCP?

Combined time-driven and due date driven approach.

What are RCCP uncertainties? [3]

  • Processing times are stochastic;
  • job occurerence may be uncertain;
  • resource availability may be uncertain;
  • etc.

What is does RCCP deal with?

Finding RCCP solutions that are robust against uncertainties using the available slack to alleviate the effects of uncertainties as much as possible.

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:

  • A unique study and practice tool
  • Never study anything twice again
  • Get the grades you hope for
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
