MRP (Material Requirements Planning) for Automotive
In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete. Material planning driven by demand. Reduce unplanned production stoppages and stock costs with the master production schedule, bill-of-materials analysis, inventory control and automatic supply suggestions.
Automotive context
Why MRP (Material Requirements Planning) works differently in Automotive
In Automotive, automotive value chain center on sector-specific concepts such as OEM supply discipline, part number, PPAP/quality document. In automotive, OEM supply discipline, on-time delivery and full traceability require functions to keep each part’s history and quality record complete.
Qera ERP's MRP (Material Requirements Planning) module is set up around how the automotive sector works: Calculates part and raw-material needs from the OEM order plan and synchronizes the supply chain.
- When OEM customers' on-time-delivery and quality expectations are strict, planning errors create contract risk.
- When spare-part diversity (reference/OE code, aftermarket) can't be managed, stock and sales tracking gets tangled.
- Without part and serial/lot traceability, you can't find the root cause in a quality issue or recall.
Capabilities
How Qera MRP (Material Requirements Planning) works in Automotive
The core capabilities of the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) module, described for the part number and series/batch needs of the automotive sector.
Master production schedule (MPS)
Build the master schedule that determines which products will be made, when and in what quantity, based on sales and marketing data.
Bill-of-materials (BOM) analysis
Analyze defined BOMs to automatically determine the raw materials, semi-finished goods and components needed for each finished product.
Inventory status control
Compare requirements with real-time stock levels to clearly see which material is on hand and which is short.
Automatic supply suggestions
Purchase order suggestions for missing materials and work-order suggestions for in-house semi-finished goods are generated automatically.
Sales-production-purchasing integration
New sales orders update the plan instantly; MRP suggestions turn into purchase orders and work orders with one click.
Accurate costing
See the real cost of your products by automatically calculating costs from BOMs and current material costs.
Outcomes
What it delivers for your Automotive business
What you see in automotive operations once it is set up properly.
- Only the materials needed are ordered, which lowers idle stock and storage costs.
- Material shortages are seen in advance, so unplanned stoppages decrease.
- Orders are fulfilled on time, and delivery dates are met more often.
- Future material needs and bottlenecks are visible in advance.
