Capacity Constraints
Capacity Constraints is a rule that governs the amount of items that can be awarded to a supplier. Using a capacity constraint, business can be awarded to a preferred supplier or the volume of business for a supplier can be limited. Suppliers can also create a capacity constraint to indicate the demand that they can support.
Example
| Name | Item Scope | Suppliers | Bid Scope | Capacity Target | Min/Max Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cap-1 | RFQ | Supplier A | All Bids | Number of Units | 0/10000 |
| Cap-2 | Pens | Supplier B | Filtered Bids | Number of Units | 1000/0 |
| SupA-Cap | Pens | Supplier A | Filtered Bids | Number of Units | 0/5000 |
The following is the explanation for the Example for Capacity Constraints tables:
- The Cap-1 constraint restricts Supplier A from being awarded more than 10000 items in the entire RFQ.
- The Cap-2 constraint makes it mandatory to award Supplier B at least 1000 pens.
- The SupA-Cap is a constraint created by Supplier A to indicate that they can supply a maximum of 5000 pens.
