Finite Capacity Planning and Scheduling (FCPS) performs detailed production scheduling at the operation level while creating rough-cut capacity planning for weekly and monthly periods, making the balance between short and long-term workload and capacity visible.

• Detailed Scheduling: Plans production operations at a detailed level by considering machine, labor, and time constraints. By clarifying which resource, in what sequence, and when work orders will be executed, it enables control of short-term production flow and early detection of bottlenecks.
• Long-Term (Rough-Cut Capacity) Scheduling: Reveals the relationship between workload and capacity from weekly and monthly perspectives. By enabling the forecasting of capacity requirements in the medium and long term, it helps foresee capacity surpluses or shortages in advance and supports strategic planning.
