resource planning


Explanation:
I've posted a reference separately.


In the same reference, we have strategische, taktische und operative Potenzialgestaltung, which would be strategic, tactical and operational resource planning.

Reference information:
Aufgabe der Potenzialgestaltung ist es, die für die Produktion erforderlichen Ressourcen so bereitzustellen, dass die Produktion kostenminimal verwirklicht wird. Dabei unterscheidet man strategische, taktische und operative Potenzialgestaltung:

* Die strategische Potenzialgestaltung beschäftigt sich mit der Festlegung der Produktionsstandorte, der Betriebsgröße, der Kapazitätsarten usw.
* Die taktische Potenzialgestaltung beschäftigt sich mit Fragen der Kapazitätsdimensionierung, des Technologieeinsatzes sowie der Fixierung der grundsätzlichen Bestellpolitik.
* Aufgabe der operative Potenzialgestaltung ist es die erforderlichen Produktionsfaktoren zur Realisierung des Produktionsprogramms zu planen.
