How do raw material shortages affect production planning?

Answer:

Raw material shortages make material availability and lead times unpredictable. Traditional MRP systems struggle with this uncertainty, causing frequent plan changes and cascading scheduling errors. As a result, planners spend more time reacting to instability than optimizing production.
