One of the most critical and time-consuming aspects of manufacturing is
managing the task of maintaining sufficient amounts of materials on hand
at all times. How many times has production been delayed because a
necessary material was not in stock or you could not get it in time?
The Sage MAS 90 and
Sage MAS 200 Material Requirements Planning (MRP)
module can help you eliminate purchasing and scheduling problems. It is
designed to simplify and speed up the work processes of purchasing and
production managers, enabling them to plan more effectively.
The MRP module looks at demand based on open sales
orders and sales projections, and supply based on inventory stock levels
and open purchase orders. Product build times, lead times and supply and
demand functions are combined to estimate the need for an inventory
item. With the MRP module, you can produce reports, based on action by
date, to advise the purchasing manager which orders need to be placed,
which need to be revised and which need to be canceled. The MRP module
allows for entry of monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse
for each manufactured item, and monthly and weekly sales projections by
customer. These estimates, combined with sales order information, can
suggest when to purchase raw materials, etc.
Eliminate costly production delays and simplify your
scheduling. Complete your Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 manufacturing solution, and
take control of your material purchasing and production planning, with
the MRP module.
FEATURES:
Warehouse Groups
Warehouse Groups allow
you to define one or more groups that are used by the MRP Generation
process to consolidate recommendations for material acquisitions.
For reporting purposes, information is also segregated by Warehouse
Group.
Sales Projections
The MRP module allows
for entry of monthly and weekly sales projections by warehouse for
each manufactured item, and monthly and weekly sales projections by
customer. These projections can be used, along with existing sales
orders, to obtain information from the MRP report to be used for
purchasing raw material. The Projected Demands Report shows actual
sales versus projected sales for analysis purposes.
MRP Generation
The MRP Generation
process looks at “demand” based on open sales orders, sales
projections and work order component requirements, and “supply”
based on inventory stock levels, open purchase orders and existing
work orders. Product build times, lead times and “supply” and
“demand” functions are combined to estimate the need for an
inventory item.
Automatic Generation
of Work Orders
If you have the Sage
MAS 90 ▪
Sage MAS 200 Work Order Processing module installed, the Auto Generate
Work Orders program uses information from MRP Generation to create
or modify work orders for item that have a procurement type of
“make.”
Action By Vendor Report
This report groups, by
vendor, all actions that have been recommended by the MRP Generation
process. This enables you to have all of the information you need on
a one-phone-call-per-vendor listing.
MRP By Job Report
The MRP By Job Report
details upcoming requirements for components on a bill of materials
by job (i.e., Sales Order or Work Order). For each component, you
can view the quantities needed, the projected on-hand quantities and
required dates.
Inventory Management
Integration
Integration with the
Inventory Management module is required to provide MRP with access
to the items needed to distribute or produce finished goods. The
on-hand quantities in inventory are recognized as a part of the
supply of an item during the MRP Generation. The inventory supplies
all reorder information, vendor lead times and product build times
to the MRP Generation.
Purchase Order Integration
When
Purchase Order is
integrated with MRP, the material on a purchase order is recognized
as a part of the supply of an item during MRP Generation. Items on
purchase order form the basis for the Action By Vendor Report.
Sales Order Integration
When
Sales Order is
integrated with MRP, the material on a sales order is recognized as
part of the demand for an item during the MRP Generation.
Bill of Materials
Integration
When
Bill of Materials
is integrated with MRP, it supplies the detailed database of
components, assemblies and subassemblies for calculating finished
goods versus raw materials. The MRP Generation will disassemble all
finished goods to lowest levels to calculate the various time-phased
operations needed, and give the necessary material requirement
information.
Work Order Integration
Integration with
Work
Order Processing is optional, but is required to automatically
update work orders through the MRP process. The Auto Generate Work
Orders program will place or change firm-planned work orders for
items. The essence of the work order and MRP interaction is the work
order timing and material issued/produced by the work order.
