In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, operational excellence isn’t just about making the right product—it’s about making it at the right time, with the right materials, and at the right cost. At Moulders Consulting, we understand the unique pressures faced by manufacturers, especially in plastics and injection moulding. That’s why we offer tailored MRP/ERP systems designed to streamline your entire process—from initial planning all the way through to delivery.
What Is MRP/ERP, and Why Do You Need It?
MRP (Material Requirements Planning) is a system that helps you manage and control:
- Inventory levels
- Raw material availability
- Production schedules and demand forecasts mouldersconsulting.co.uk+1mouldersconsulting.co.uk+1en.wikipedia.org
This reduces excess stock, ensures you have what you need, and prevents production bottlenecks. An integrated MRP II or ERP system adds deeper capabilities like capacity planning, financial oversight, and full shop-floor visibility .
Made for Manufacturing, by Manufacturing Experts
Generic off-the-shelf ERP software often misses critical details. That’s why Moulders Consulting builds systems from the ground up for plastics and injection-moulding businesses. Our software is crafted by professionals deeply experienced in the sector, ensuring functionality matches real-world shop floor requirements .

Combatting Common MRP Challenges
We know MRP systems deliver real value—but they can be undermined by poor-quality data and unreliable systems. That’s why we emphasise:

- Regular cycle counts and audits to maintain data integrity
These steps keep your system reliable, so your insights are trustworthy.
