Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Software
Ensure timely delivery with precise planning
What is Master Production Scheduling?
The Master Production Scheduling (MPS) feature in BatchMaster ERP’s MPS/MRP module helps manufacturers create and maintain an efficient production plan. It determines what, how much, and when to produce, based on sales forecasts, planned purchases, production orders, inventory levels, and work orders.
By considering the bill of materials down to the lowest level, it gives manufacturers a clear view of planned orders, with options to analyse, group, or reschedule as needed. The scheduling dashboards help link demand with supply and show when and why production jobs are necessary.
What is Material Requirement Planning Software?
The Material Requirement Planning (MRP) feature helps production managers in scheduling and ordering dependent demand items. It ensures a smooth flow of materials needed for production by determining what to order, when to order, how much to order, and when to schedule delivery. The functions satisfy both demand-driven and batch scheduling methods making this software the best material requirement planning software.
In BatchMaster ERP, MPS works before the MRP function. It focuses on planning parts or the entire product for the production process and creating production orders afterward. Whereas, MRP uses data from the Bill of Materials (BOM), inventory, and MPS to calculate future material needs. The material requirements planning module pulls demand data from MPS to plan materials and generate purchase orders accordingly.
