Advanced Service Planning
Project Resource Planning (PRP) provides a
sophisticated set of planning tools for material-based,
service-only, and service-plus-material projects. PRP
plans and re-plans activities and tasks, synchronizes
dates, and performs impact analysis and simulations to
improve on-time completion.
Through the Project Management Interface application,
PRP can access Microsoft Project to enhance
scheduling, graphic displays and networking
capabilities. By associating routings and bills of
material with service items, PRP ensures that materials
and resources get to the right place at the right time.
Analyzing “What-Ifs”
Project Resource Planning offers a variety of tools for
developing “what if” scenarios and analyzing their
impact. Simulations allow you to view anticipated
changes to planned orders. Multi-level pegging
provides full visibility to all items in a bill of material.
Impact Analysis displays the imploded, multi-level
impact of lead time delays. PRP reconciles dates
between contracts, projects and orders and displays
mismatches. You can then synchronize dates based on
multiple options to determine the best plan for your
requirements.
Workbench Utility
A workbench provides a single point of entry for
developing and modifying plans and accessing
necessary data files. This allows you to make optimal
use of resources and to respond quickly and
appropriately to scheduling changes.
Lot-for-Lot vs. SEIBAN
For cost effective purchasing and production, PRP
allows you to choose either consolidated or lot-for-lot
planning. In lot-for-lot planning, supply order quantities
are matched to demand quantities with variables such
as scrap factor taken into consideration. This structure
enables mutli-level pegging and is especially useful for
engineer-to-order and make-to-order items.
Consolidated planning in PRP is addressed by way of
SEIBAN functionality. Using SEIBAN, a unique number
is assigned to an assembly item. All component items
are then assigned the same number. Costs can be
assigned to each component item and rolled up using
SEIBAN costing.

Now all of your projects including service-only and service plus material projects can have the planning visibility
needed to stay on schedule and respond quickly to change. glovia.com Project Resource Planning provides multi-
level planning tools that include an easy-to-use workbench for developing and modifying plans online. Optimize your
planning capabilities with sophisticated simulation, date synchronization, and impact analysis features that assure on-
time, on-target projects.
glovia.com Project Resource Planning enhances your ability to plan complex
projects with a rich set of features, including date synchronization, impact
analysis, and simulation tools.
