Solution
MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
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.
Challenges you face
Problems in day-to-day work
This module is built to fix the problems below.
- You calculate which material is needed, how much and when by hand, so stoppages and delays occur.
- Stock levels and real needs don't match, so idle stock or material shortages arise.
- Changes in sales orders aren't reflected in the production and supply plan in real time.
- Purchase requisitions for missing materials are created manually, delaying the process.
- You can't calculate product costs accurately based on current material prices.

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.
