ABSTRACT:
An exemplary embodiment of the invention relates to a method, system, and storage medium for integrating rework operations into an advanced planning process. The method comprises: providing at least one rework Bill of Materials flow for use in conjunction with other Bills of Materials flow in a production planning process; forecasting rework parametric information associated with the rework Bill of Materials flow; and generating an integrated manufacturing plan utilizing the rework parametric information and the rework Bill of Materials flow. The rework parametric information includes at least one of: yields; cycle times; capacities; and rework materials. Other embodiments of the invention include a system, and a storage medium.
