What is MRP, Materials Requirement Planning Manufacturing software.
MRP systems will reduce stock carried in the business and help prevent stock-outs. Lean Manufacturing means less stock, cash and administration to run a manufacturing concern. This improves customer service, sales and reduces costs.
The master production schedule is generated from actual demand and forecasted demand taking into account production capacity. Manufacturing Software for Stock Control usually requires the BOM (Bill of Materials) for all parts. This represents the first step in any Manufacturing system implementation. Good Manufacturing practice requires all of the part rules to be included. For example is it a Purchased Part, Manufactured part. What is the lead time, stock rules, cost. Who are the Supplier's and details for Purchase Order processing etc.
MRP will determine the most efficient purchasing schedules based on the user controlled "Just-in-time" ordering of critical path components. The EOQ (economic order quantity), and bulk ordering (e.g. for fasteners, screws etc). The prize here is carrying less stock, accepting deliveries just in time and getting the items production lines exactly when required. Our best manufacturing practice implementers help mxi customers to get paid before the supplier invoices arrive.
MXI Manufacturing software and experience will improve productivity enabling timely scheduling of materials to satisfy demand, calculate manufacturing capacity to use using less resource, and increase customer satisfaction by improving on-time delivery as high as 97% in many cases.
