Knowledge: Early Due Date suggested for planned order in constrained plan

Summary:

This video explains why a constrained plan may recommend a planned order much earlier than the actual demand due date. In the demonstrated example, the behavior occurs because a lower-level component in the finished good BOM is tied to a bottleneck resource that becomes constrained later in the planning horizon. The video walks through the symptom, the date comparison, and the component-level analysis that shows why the plan pulls supply earlier to avoid future capacity limitations.
