You are a master baker who needs to make sure you have enough flour, sugar, yeast, eggs and water. If you haven’t planned for the Christmas rush, you might run out of flour midstream. What if it takes 6 to 8 weeks to get flour? Your business will suffer and customer confidence will erode. MRP (Material Requirements Planning) Software could have eliminated that problem and you wouldn’t have even known there was a flour shortage.
Take that to a level where you are dealing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in product waiting for one material, and all you see as the manager of a company are the dollars escaping out the window. MRP Software is set up to ensure that your products get delivered when you need them. It doesn’t rely on an employee to make sure you have enough material in stock. The software will take into account current orders, predict future orders based on past sales, and provide recommendation on how much material is ordered. You can tie it into your current inventory software to detect when stock is getting low. If you can integrate the system with your material provider, you can even have the computer make an order when material numbers reach a certain level.
The embarrassment of running out of a material and then having to shut production down until you receive more, will be avoided if you have MRP Software. Don’t be without your flour at Christmas time!
