MRP & SCHEDULING

• forecast entry allows specification of any number of projected requirements for sub-assemblies or finished goods

• complete integration with purchase orders, inventory, sales orders, and production orders allows an accurate and detailed determination and display of gross and net requirements for raw materials

• full pegging of component requirements back to parent provides detail required for purchase decisions

• inquiry by part on MRP details allows online review of supply situations

• scheduling of work orders through the plant is done on a net time required basis, and can be either forward or backward scheduling

• Scheduling Report indicates outstanding gross requirements for each work centre

• Capacity Analysis Report flags over-utilization of work centres based on their net capacity so that any time period can be analyzed, broken down into up to eight variable-length sections

• Product Availability Inquiry allows "what-if" type analysis on proposed production taking current factory load into account

• Completely separate "what if" mode facilitates planning based on theoretical parameters and environments.

e.g. what if we work two shifts ...
what if the forecast turns out this way...
what if we add an additional lathe ...
