A system and method for enhance planning concepts by adding High-Mix Wheels to the feature set of existing SAP ERP/SCM system landscapes and may also combine planning concepts with an automatic material resource planning (MRP) and capacity resource planning (CRP) logic enhanced by factoring algorithms. This is the first time that MRP, CRP and factoring against constraints can be done in one single planning step, enabling better and faster planning results. Extreme tight integration of planning optimization based on Lean paradigm is provided that may include enhanced Lean Planning algorithms that extend rhythmic planning.
