Material Requirement Planning (MRP)

Right Materials. Right Quantity. Right Time. Lower Cost.

MRP calculates material requirements based on the Master Production Schedule (MPS), Bill of Materials (BOM), inventory status, and lead times. It ensures on-time production, optimizes inventory levels, and reduces unnecessary costs by guiding operations through a structured 5-step process flow: Inputs, Material Requirement Calculation, Net Requirements & Shortage Check, Plan Procurement / Production, and Execute & Monitor.

Core Modules

System Setup & Configuration

Manages Default Information/System Options, Material Planner, Planning Horizon Period, MRP Manager, and MRP Record.

Inventory & Structure Tracking

  • Multi-Level BOM: Deep hierarchy mapping of components and assemblies.
  • Inventory Visibility: Real-time balance monitoring (In Stock, On Order, Shortage).
  • Lot & Serial Tracking: Traceability across batch cycles.
  • Reorder Point & Safety Stock: Automated buffer calculations.
  • Multi-Unit of Measurement: Flexible inventory UOM handling.
  • Batch & Barcode Control: Barcode integration for rapid material updates.

Transaction Processing

Handles Scheduled Receipts and Firm Planned Orders to bridge scheduling with procurement and production.

Task & Function Processing

Features automated MRP Regeneration to adjust material allocations in real time.

Inquiries & Reports

Provides comprehensive MRP Reports for clear visibility into gross requirements, scheduled receipts, net requirements, and expedite alerts.

Key Benefits

Optimize Inventory

Maintain precise stock balances to reduce carrying costs without risking production delays.

Improve On-Time Delivery

Synchronize raw material receipts directly with master production schedules.

Reduce Stockouts

Automatically flag shortage items and highlight priority expedite requests.

Increase Productivity

Automate complex calculations across BOM levels to save manual administrative hours.

Lower Costs

Prevent over-purchasing and eliminate expensive rush shipment charges.

Data-Driven Planning

Leverage real-time dashboards to view planned orders, net requirement trends, and top shortage items.
