What is generated when you assign a planned order to a production line manually in repetitive manufacturing?

When a planned order is assigned to a production line manually in repetitive manufacturing, capacity requirements are generated. This is a key aspect of production planning as it allows the system to determine whether the assigned production line has enough capacity to fulfill the order.

In repetitive manufacturing, planned orders represent the intended production activity, and assigning them to a specific production line helps to assess the line's workload and availability of resources. By generating capacity requirements, the system can identify if the production line is capable of meeting production demands within the scheduled time frame, taking into account factors such as machine availability, labor resources, and production schedules. This is critical in ensuring a smooth production process and efficient utilization of resources.

The other options involve steps or functions that take place within the production planning system but are not the direct results of manually assigning a planned order to a production line. For example, while checking component availability is essential prior to production, it typically occurs in the planning phase rather than as a direct outcome of assigning the planned order. Similarly, the conversion of a planned order to a production order and the copying of components to a picking list are processes that relate to broader aspects of order management rather than the immediate impact of capacity generation.
