Manufacturing Resource Planning

Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) lets you analyze available information to create optimum scheduling and capacity resource planning. Your planners have the visibility they need, from fully detailed parts and item information to the master production schedule and materials requirement plan.

Planning and scheduling

• Perform MRP in net change mode for faster recalculation or use full regenerative mode
• Maintain smooth operations with regular exception reports to identify problems early
• View a detailed time phase inventory from the last MRP run
• Create two-level master production schedules
• Produce simulated production schedules and forecasts
• Use blow-through logic for raw materials planning

Forecasting

• Improve forecasting by comparing past plans with actual results
• Forecast MRP by customer, salesperson, territory or warehouse

Demand management

• Updates the forecast to show sales and WIP to prevent 'double driving'
• Overrides forecast planning with up-todate sales data
• Peg upward from online work orders directly to sales orders to prioritize production
• Create consumption forecasts
• Zoom directly to pegging details for each demand and receipt

Capacity planning

• Report capacity levels
• Drive capacity requirements planning from MRP
