Running the wrong planning mode causes instability — even with perfect setup.

The Difference

Regenerative Planning → Full rebuild
Net Change Planning → Incremental updates

Common Mistake

Running regenerative planning daily.

Best Practice

Use regenerative planning after setup or structural changes
Use net change planning for day‑to‑day operations

Stability is just as important as accuracy in MRP.
