MRP — Material Requirements Planning for Textile & Apparel
In textiles, the color-size variant matrix, the collection calendar and fabric consumption require functions to see stock and cost variant by variant. 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.
Textile & Apparel context
Why MRP — Material Requirements Planning works differently in Textile & Apparel
In Textile & Apparel, textile and apparel processes center on sector-specific concepts such as color-size variant matrix, collection planning, fabric consumption. In textiles, the color-size variant matrix, the collection calendar and fabric consumption require functions to see stock and cost variant by variant.
Qera ERP's MRP — Material Requirements Planning module is set up around the reality of textile & apparel: Calculates fabric, yarn and accessory needs at variant level from the collection and order plan.
- When color, size and pattern variants can't be managed under one product code, stock and order tracking gets tangled.
- When collection and season planning don't match production capacity, delivery commitments are at risk.
- When fabric, accessory and subcontract consumption isn't tracked clearly, the true product cost is unknown.
