A method suitable for producing a production plan that is feasible with respect to capacity availability. The method includes the steps of reading an end product demand and capacity availability information; selecting a specific demand derived from the end product demand and comprising an end product, a time period, and a quantity; determining whether the quantity can be produced in the time periods using the available capacity and surplus capacity from earlier periods; and, recording the amount of capacity used in each time period to produce this quantity; thereby enabling realization of end product demand when an imbalance of demand and capacity exists.
