MRP (Material Requirements Planning) for Manufacturing
In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual. 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.
Manufacturing context
Why MRP (Material Requirements Planning) works differently in Manufacturing
In Manufacturing, manufacturing operations center on sector-specific concepts such as recipe and routing, MRP, production planning. In manufacturing, recipe-routing discipline, capacity planning and real-time shop-floor data require functions to see the whole chain transparently from plan to actual.
Qera ERP's MRP (Material Requirements Planning) module is set up around how the manufacturing sector works: Calculates material needs from orders and the production plan and triggers procurement on time.
- When material requirements aren't calculated at the right time, the production line stalls on material shortages.
- Idle stock drives up storage cost, while shortages put delivery commitments at risk.
- Calculating true product cost together with recipe, operation and scrap items is hard.
Capabilities
How Qera MRP (Material Requirements Planning) works in Manufacturing
The core capabilities of the MRP (Material Requirements Planning) module, described for the work order, recipe and routing needs of the manufacturing 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 Manufacturing business
What you see in manufacturing 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.
