 Macola
ES's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) package is the ideal software for
the single-site manufacturing and multiple warehouse operation. Advanced MRP
functionality streamlines your manufacturing/ warehouse operation and ordering.
Important advantages of
Material Requirements Planning are:
- Project future inventory
demand
- Perform "What If" analysis
- Generate PO's based
on projected Inventory
- Calculate aging of
items
- View net change comparisons
- Net unlimited MRP locations
- Peg to higher level
requirements
- Incorporate Serial
/Lot effectivity
- Use Material Planner
to filter by exceptions
- Automatically create
shop orders
Macola ES's MRP functionality
also improves on-line pegging with drill downs to the
source of demand or supply. Plus, the conversion of Computer Planned Orders
(CPO) to Shop Orders, Production Orders, Productions Schedules, and Purchase
Orders has been streamlined making it easier for you to track and expedite
orders.
Unlimited
MRP locations
MRP lets you easily incorporate netting against unlimited locations with the
ability to select one or multiple locations, including, the ability to instantly
view Receiving and Inspection locations.
Automatically
generate replenishment orders
Replenishment Orders such as Production Orders and Shop Orders, can be created
automatically from both Firm Planned Orders and Computer Planned Orders. Purchase
orders can also be generated automatically based on MRP's recommendation.
Pegging
Macola ES's unique pegging feature provides a history of pegging information,
allowing you to track difficult information through the path of orders and
product structure, to higher level requirements. This is possible through
an on-line, interactive process and through the various reports.
Advanced
reports and graphs
Instantly provide you with easy-to-read representations of your manufacturing
information is instantly available.
MRP
reports
- Days available inventory
comparison
- Valued projected inventory
balance
- Exception MRP inventory
aging
- Net change comparison
- Pegging
- Period
- Purchase request by
vendor
- Value projected inventory
- What-If comparison
Serial/Lot
effectivity
You also gain the capability to incorporate Serial/Lot effectively in MRP.
Macola's advanced Material Planning will validate Serial/Lot expiration dates
while netting on-hand inventory quantities.
High
probability quotes
Customer quotes with a high probability of becoming orders can be easily included
in your MRP planning, giving you a more accurate assessment of your future
planning and financial picture.
Material
planner
With the Material Planner, you can view specific exceptions, or a group of
exceptions, triggered by the regeneration. This provides the buyer/analyst
an interactive environment to not only view the exceptions, but also be able
to take action on those exceptions. All this is done through a single interface
that will allow computer planned orders to be converted to purchase orders
and replenishment orders very efficiently. Where there is a need to expedite
an order or change the quantity, the planner allows you to change them on
your request one at a time or in a group.
