MRP — Material Requirements Planning for Automotive
In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete. A demand-driven smart planning engine. End unplanned production stoppages and minimize stock costs with the master production schedule, bill-of-materials analysis, inventory control and automatic supply suggestions.
Automotive context
Why MRP — Material Requirements Planning works differently in Automotive
In Automotive, automotive value chain center on sector-specific concepts such as OEM supply discipline, part number, PPAP/quality document. In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete.
Qera ERP's MRP — Material Requirements Planning module is set up around the reality of automotive: Calculates part and raw-material needs from the OEM order plan and synchronizes the supply chain.
- When OEM customers' on-time-delivery and quality expectations are strict, planning errors create contract risk.
- When spare-part diversity (reference/OE code, aftermarket) can't be managed, stock and sales tracking gets tangled.
- Without part and serial/lot traceability, you can't find the root cause in a quality issue or recall.

Bill-of-materials (BOM) analysis
Analyze defined BOMs to automatically determine the raw materials, semi-finished goods and components needed for each finished product.
Inventory status control
Compare requirements with real-time stock levels to clearly see which material is on hand and which is short.
Automatic supply suggestions
Purchase order suggestions for missing materials and work-order suggestions for in-house semi-finished goods are generated automatically.
Sales-production-purchasing integration
New sales orders update the plan instantly; MRP suggestions turn into purchase orders and work orders with one click.
Accurate costing
See the real cost of your products by automatically calculating costs from BOMs and current material costs.
