Over the last few months we’ve been working extremely hard in paving the data highway to enable us to switch on our Material Requirements Planning (MRP) system, initially for some fast moving SKUs but with the eventual plan that most/all pricelist items are covered by MRP
MRP systems offers significant benefits to manufacturing and production-oriented businesses. The primary advantage lies in the ability to streamline inventory management by calculating the quantities of materials needed and the optimal timing for procurement, an MRP system helps prevent both overstocking and stockouts.
Another key benefit is improved production planning and scheduling. MRP systems ensure that materials are available for production when needed, which minimizes delays and increases overall efficiency. This reliability facilitates businesses in meeting customer demands more consistently, with reduces lead-times, improving customer satisfaction and competitiveness.
At present we’ve a number of SKUs we’re refining our MRP activity for. The first SKUs covered were our H101-LR-BZP and H101-RR-BZP
