Dear all,

There are questions about planning methods? what is difference among planning methods C (order up to planning), F (part period balancing planning), D (fixed order qty planning)?

It is very important to us to know the way of calculations for each planning method.

Now , in our planning policy, we consider the same planning method G (period order qty planning) for all purchasing component parts. But it seems that it is not true because of their priority based on ABC analysis.

I am going to know that what is the best planning method for each category (A,B and C) to have a suitable supplying for them to prevent future shortages. There are some fluctuations during our planning periods and some times we miss many customer orders.
