Material Requirements Planning (MRP)

The EnterpriseIQ MRP II engine accurately and effectively manages all resources necessary to meet manufacturing demand, while maintaining lean inventory levels. It includes items manufactured internally, through third party vendors, as well as sub-assemblies.

The single database structure allows the EnterpriseIQ MRP engine to span the entire supply chain to accurately match availability with demand. The fully incorporated system takes into account all aspects of the manufacturing process including:

• Labor Capacity Planning - Measure standard labor hours against the required hours to meet your schedule by week, day or shift, based on work orders and labor schedule.
  
  
• Auxiliary Equipment Planning - Checks for availability of auxiliary equipment linked to the bill of material.
  
  
• Material Planning - Evaluate material availability based on the required manufacturing date taking into consideration material lead times.
  
  
• Machine Capacity Planning - Evaluates machine availability with variables that affect the capacity such as maintenance, setup, etc. If the job cannot be run within the requested time frame due to capacity limits, the system determines the first available time and date the work center can have the requested number of items completed.
  
  
• Rough Cut Capacity Planning - Compares available work center time based on the Shop Calendar versus required hours for each machine type.
