MRP 6 W’s » What is it?

» Material Requirements Planning is a production planning, scheduling, and inventory control system used to manage manufacturing processes

» Who is it for?» Typically companies in the manufacturing/assembly industry

» Where is it?» Available through the Advanced Manufacturing module within

Costpoint

» When do you use it?» Run periodically to ensure material is available for production

and finished goods are available for delivery

» Why is it important?» Fosters on time availability of the right materials required for

production

» How does it work?» MRP uses bills of materials, a master schedule and supply

information to calculate material needs

Benefits» Reduces component shortages when it is time to begin the

production process

» Facilitates minimizing excess inventory by time-phasing the parts you need and preventing the purchase of unnecessary material

» Defines the overall lead time which can be used to generate more realistic promise dates and enable timely delivery of manufactured goods to your customers

» Optimizes the use of manufacturing resources. Including shop floor employees, test equipment and shared machines

» Helps lower overhead rates due to decreased inventory costs and optimal use of production resources

» It’s FUN!
