Purpose of our MRP/ERP System
Producing a product made of multiple components requires significant coordination to ensure that component parts are available when they are required for production. This segment will examine how MRP can accomplish these tasks.
The purpose of our MRP/ERP System is to involves a computerized system to successfully manage dependent-demand inventory, schedule replenishment orders, and to meet demand for end items as given in the Master Production Schedule. MRP derives demand for components, subassemblies, materials, etc., from demand for production schedules of parent items. MRP offsets replenishment orders relative to the date when replenishment is needed.
What Does It Do?
Information Needed for MRP
In order for the MRP System to be successful, many applications must be established prior to the future outcomes expected. Following are the different sections that must be considered: The demand for all products, lead times for all finished goods, components, parts and raw materials, lot sizing policies for all parts, opening inventory levels, safety stock requirements, and any orders previously placed but which have not arrived yet.
Information Obtained from MRP
In the same manner that MRP Systems require many applications, they offer a great amount of usefull information. The benefits arrived from this complex function involve the following: the replenishment of orders to be released at a future time, notices to release planned orders, notices to expedite, or cancel orders, or to change order quantities or due dates, gives information regarding which orders should be given priority, inventory status information, performance reports, actual lead times, late orders, etc.
