A maintenance planner is trying to determine the priority of scheduled work orders as well as the need for various items to complete that work. The planner determines that soft reservations should be made for these items. What is a characteristic of these reservations?
Soft reservations do not reduce the available balance of the items. This means that while the items are marked for potential future use, they are still available for others to use until a hard reservation is made or the items are actually picked. This characteristic enables better flexibility and resource management in the maintenance planning process.
