Solution
MRP — Material Requirements Planning
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.
Challenges you face
Sound familiar?
This module is built to remove the everyday operational pains below.
- You calculate which material is needed, how much and when by hand, so stoppages and delays occur.
- Stock levels and real needs don't match, so idle stock or material shortages arise.
- Changes in sales orders aren't reflected in the production and supply plan in real time.
- Purchase requisitions for missing materials are created manually, delaying the process.
- You can't calculate product costs accurately based on current material prices.
