Jobshop Manufacturing Requirement Planning (MRP)

Jobshop’s Material Requirements Planning (MRP) provides precise control of all operations. It can be operated in batch mode, or run in ‘real-time’ to respond to the dynamics of rapidly fluctuating demand.

Continuous monitoring of the master database instantly identifies changes in material requirements; triggering ‘make or buy’ recommendations based on the cumulative (offset) lead times of each item. If required, specific works or purchase orders can be closely monitored by running the system only for selected orders or individual contracts.

Jobshop offers regenerative or net change MRP operations - without exclusive use of the database. Exception reports minimise paperwork and focus attention on key issues. Automatic generation of ‘critical actions’ reports prompts timely remedial action. Ordering rules can be applied by individual item, if required. MRP can be run for selected contracts or individual orders with associated reporting.

Minimum stock, preferred batch sizes and automatic generation of recommended actions. with on-screen validation and optional over-ride facility.

Works or purchase orders can be raised automatically following validation of the appropriate order enquiries.

Re-order point control for consumables, spares or low value items enables designated parts to be excluded from the MRP run - speeding processing and simplifying operation.
