Material Requirements Planning
One of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of inventory management is managing the task of maintaining sufficient amounts of materials on hand at all times. How many times has production or shipping been delayed because a necessary item was not in stock or you could not get it in time?
The Material Requirements Planning (MRP) module for the Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200 ERP systems can help you eliminate purchasing and scheduling problems. It is designed to simplify and speed up the work processes of purchasing, inventory, and production managers, enabling them to plan more effectively.
The MRP module looks at demand based on open sales orders and sales projections, and supply based on inventory stock levels and open purchase orders. Product build times, lead times, and supply and demand functions are combined to estimate the need for an inventory item. With the MRP module, you can produce reports, based on action by date, to advise the purchasing manager which orders need to be placed, which need to be revised, and which need to be canceled. The MRP module allows for entry of monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for each manufactured item, and monthly and weekly sales projections by customer. These estimates, combined with sales order information can suggest when to purchase raw materials, and more.
Eliminate costly production delays and simplify your scheduling. Complete your Sage MAS 90 or 200 manufacturing or distribution solution, and take control of your material purchasing and production planning, with the MRP module.
