With a collective experience of over 40 years in manufacturing – spanning roles such as sales, marketing, operations, and management – we have successfully implemented numerous ERP/MRP systems within the sector.
MRP, short for Materials Requirements Planning, holds a pivotal role in ensuring that the right materials are available at the right time for producing high-quality products in the manufacturing process.
Here’s a simplified breakdown of the steps involved:
1) Determine The Production Schedule: This step involves creating a production schedule based on customer demand, inventory levels, and other critical factors. The result is a production plan outlining the quantity of products to be manufactured over a specified period.
2) Calculate Material Requirements: Once the production schedule is set, the next task is to calculate the material requirements. This calculation considers the quantity of products to be produced, the materials needed for each product, and any potential waste or scrap during production.
3) Check Inventory Levels: Following material requirement calculations, the system checks the inventory levels of the required materials. This step determines whether existing inventory meets production needs or if additional materials must be ordered.
4) Generate Purchase Orders: In cases of insufficient inventory, the MRP system generates purchase orders for the necessary materials. These orders include quantity, delivery dates, and other crucial information.
5) Track Progress: After placing purchase orders, the MRP system diligently tracks order progress, including delivery dates and any delays or issues that may arise.
6) Adjust The Plan: If any changes occur in the production schedule or delays/issues with materials, the MRP system dynamically adjusts the plan accordingly.
MRP is a vital process for effectively managing the materials required for injection moulding. It ensures that the right materials are available at the right time, a critical element in producing high-quality products in the industry.
