Use

Using the Optimizer profile you can set the optimization method and activate the restrictions that theSNP should take into account in its calculations. The activities are described below that you should carry out to maintain the Optimizer profile.

Note: You can find additional information about the individual fields of the profile in the field help when you call up the Optimizer profile in customizing or in the current settings.

Activities

1. Enter a profile description.
2. Set the Aim of Optimization, i.e. minimizing costs or maximizing profits.
3. If you would like to use a purely continual (linear) solution procedure, set a Method for Linear Programming.
4. If you want to use Time Decomposition orProduct Decomposition, activate the relevant indicator and set the window size or partition.
5. Set a hard (strict) or cost based Prioritizing,in order to indicate whether the Optimizer should take into account the priority of the requirement(hard prioritizing) or costs as the determining factor for the calculation of the optimal solution. Hard prioritizing can not be used in connection with the discretization method (see below).
6. Set how the Optimizer should take into account Secondary Requirements andDistribution Requirements, either as hard or soft restrictions, that can cause penalty costs.
7. Set a DiscretizationMethod in place of a linear solution procedure if the Optimizer should take into account certainrestrictions which require a discretization such as, for example, the minimum lot sizes for shippingor the Production Process Model (PPM). The discretization method determines the quality of the solutionon the basis of the level of thoroughness of the search procedure. The more thorough the search, the longer is needed by the Optimizer to determine a solution.
8. Activate the corresponding general restrictions such as, forexample, restrictions of the production, storage or transport capacity and, if necessary, the restrictionsthat should only be taken into account when a discretization method is chosen. For the restrictionsfor a discretization you can also set the time period over which the restriction should be taken into account (days, weeks or months as well as a fixed end date).
9. If you choose Partial Search as discretization method you should also set theRounding Limit for the Production Variable orTransport Variableto indicate where the Optimizer should search first in order to assign the continual values of the relaxedsolution to the correct values in whole numbers. You can differentiate between the preferred strategy for the production lot sizes and the preferred strategy for the transport lot sizes.
10. If you choose a Complete Search you should also set the restrictions for theRun Time and/or theMaximum Number of Iterations.
11. Set a Rounding Profileto indicate when the products are expected to be available. Smaller values represent an optimistic viewas they imply that the product will be available earlier that expected. Larger values represent a conservative view as they imply that the availability of the product is guaranteed.
12. If you wish to carry out Vertical orHorizontal Aggregated Planning you should activate the relevant indicator.
13. Save.
