Capable-to-promise

Capable-to-promise ( CTP ) describes a process of the global availability check with which delivery dates can be promised against the available capacity and stocks . Hidden behind this is the business question of whether a certain amount of a product will be available on a desired demand date. In contrast to Available-to-Promise , this question is not only based on the likely available inventory, but also production capacities and external suppliers are considered as additional sources of meeting demand . But there can also be severalProduction sites or distribution channels are considered.

With a capable-to-promise approach, a finite planning model can be used to determine the expected delivery date. The restrictions in the supply chain that influence the production of the goods, such as the availability of resources , procurement times for raw materials or upstream assemblies, are taken into account . The promised delivery date takes into account both the currently available production capacities and future delivery obligations. The goal of CTP is to reduce the time spent rescheduling and handling problem cases due to unreliable delivery dates.
