Material Requirements Planning Material Requirements Planning

Macola ES's Material Requirements Planning (MRP) package is the ideal software for the single-site manufacturing and multiple warehouse operation. Advanced MRP functionality streamlines your manufacturing/ warehouse operation and ordering.

Important advantages of Material Requirements Planning are:

  • Project future inventory demand
  • Perform "What If" analysis
  • Generate PO's based on projected Inventory
  • Calculate aging of items
  • View net change comparisons
  • Net unlimited MRP locations
  • Peg to higher level requirements
  • Incorporate Serial /Lot effectivity
  • Use Material Planner to filter by exceptions
  • Automatically create shop orders

Macola ES's MRP functionality also improves on-line pegging with drill downs to the source of demand or supply. Plus, the conversion of Computer Planned Orders (CPO) to Shop Orders, Production Orders, Productions Schedules, and Purchase Orders has been streamlined making it easier for you to track and expedite orders.

Unlimited MRP locations
MRP lets you easily incorporate netting against unlimited locations with the ability to select one or multiple locations, including, the ability to instantly view Receiving and Inspection locations.

Automatically generate replenishment orders
Replenishment Orders such as Production Orders and Shop Orders, can be created automatically from both Firm Planned Orders and Computer Planned Orders. Purchase orders can also be generated automatically based on MRP's recommendation.

Pegging
Macola ES's unique pegging feature provides a history of pegging information, allowing you to track difficult information through the path of orders and product structure, to higher level requirements. This is possible through an on-line, interactive process and through the various reports.

Advanced reports and graphs 
Instantly provide you with easy-to-read representations of your manufacturing information is instantly available.

  • Valued projected inventory balance
  • Exception
  • MRP inventory aging
  • Net change comparison
  • Pegging
  • Period
  • Purchase request by vendor
  • Value projected inventory
  • What-If comparison
Serial/Lot effectivity
You also gain the capability to incorporate Serial/Lot effectively in MRP. Macola's advanced Material Planning will validate Serial/Lot expiration dates while netting on-hand inventory quantities.

High probability quotes
Customer quotes with a high probability of becoming orders can be easily included in your MRP planning, giving you a more accurate assessment of your future planning and financial picture.

Material planner
With the Material Planner, you can view specific exceptions, or a group of exceptions, triggered by the regeneration. This provides the buyer/analyst an interactive environment to not only view the exceptions, but also be able to take action on those exceptions. All this is done through a single interface that will allow computer planned orders to be converted to purchase orders and replenishment orders very efficiently. Where there is a need to expedite an order or change the quantity, the planner allows you to change them on your request one at a time or in a group.
