Manufacturing Resource PlanningIBS Manufacturing Resource Planning is a comprehensive solution for companies that must meet exacting market demands with efficiency, accuracy and reliable operational control. MRP software is designed to adapt to your manufacturing and business processes. IBS MRP system provides a variety of planning methods to fit a variety of manufacturing requirements, with everything from pull planning concepts for repetitive product manufacturing to MRP II planning.
Pull-planning
For repetitive manufacturing, two different methods can be used:
- Shortage analysis focuses on products and components subject to or risking shortage, within the defined planning period
- Priority analysis is based on the coverage time (in days) that an actual product has within the planning horizon, taking into account the demand, order, stock situation and forecast. The design of the priority value (cover time) is user-defined, making it possible to create customer-defined planning methods.
MRP IIIBS MRP software also supports a traditional forward material and capacity planning method, which is sometimes more appropriate to use. Manufacturing Resource Planning order proposals are all prioritized from end-product down to the lowest component level. The highest prioritized demand (sales order) is then handled as the most important proposal, and the forecast is handled as a lower priority. This method focuses on fulfilling demand in the right order.
Manufacturing Resource Planning also creates re-scheduling proposals. You can set a filter for the Manufacturing Resource Planning to avoid unnecessary times on re-scheduling proposals that differ by, for example, two days. When availability for material and/or capacity is checked, it is always checked against normal stock. If no such stock/capacity exists within the item’s planning time, the availability check is then performed on the product’s BOM and/or BOR, and the best delivery date is calculated.
Other features of IBS MRP system include:
- Manufacturing reception function for manufacturing alternative products (co-products)
- Functionality that allocates tools in time for their use in manufacturing order operations
- The ability to calibrate a tool when it has been used for a specified number of orders, produced pieces or hours
- Several ways to create manufacturing orders with flexibility in set-up and operational performance
- Orders can be entered manually, copied from existing orders, initiated by and connected to a customer order, or released from an order proposal
- Order proposals generated at the requirements planning session can be easily changed, cancelled and/or released into a production order
- Lead-time calculation/availability check.
