MRP also suggests change in the delivery of orders (Purchase and work) to meet requirements. It also suggests cancellation of orders. MRP works as a perfect planning tool. Provides information on what to buy/make and when to buy/make. Helps in execution of orders. User can define its planning parameters.
Functions
- Forecast maintenance
- Explode the bill of material and calculate item requirements
- Shop calendar maintenance
- Calculate net requirements after netting against stock and pending orders
- Reports on suggested orders and suggested change
Features
- Demand can be generated with the mix of customer order and forecast
- Calculates demand based on lead times
