📖 Read Briefing Summary & Transcript

Audio Summary: This briefing presents how ERPPWA Material Requirements Planning (MRP) aligns sales forecasts and firm orders with inventory levels and production timelines to prevent raw material stockouts.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Demand Ingestion: Analyzing confirmed sales orders and minimum safety stock targets across all finished goods.
  • BOM Netting & Explosion: Calculating exact gross and net component requirements down to the raw material level.
  • Stock Deficit Alerts: Flagging impending shortages with vendor lead time analysis before production orders are released.
  • Auto Purchase Requisition: 1-click requisition generation for deficit quantities directly to the purchase department.
  • Production Schedule Synchronization: Aligning machine scheduling with raw material delivery arrival windows.

Material Requirements Planning (MRP) Features

Eliminate component shortages, synchronize master production schedules, and track raw material heat numbers across the entire supply chain.

📦 Real-Time Inventory Control

Stock Control & Automated Replenishment

⚠️ The Operational Challenge

Stockouts cause assembly lines to stall while excess slow-moving inventory drains cash flow; manual stock cards fail to provide multi-location visibility or timely reorder alerts.

✨ The ERPPWA Solution

Eliminate stockouts with automated replenishment rules. ERPPWA monitors stock levels in real-time across multiple godowns and shop floors, triggering automated reorder rules based on minimum safety stock and supplier lead times.

  • ✓Real-Time Multi-Location Godown & Floor Stock Visibility
  • ✓Dynamic Safety Stock & Automated Reorder Point Alerts
  • ✓End-to-End Inward & Outward Transaction Lifecycle Tracking
  • ✓Holding Cost Reduction & Overstocking Prevention
  • ✓Automated Purchase Requisition on Low-Stock Thresholds
  • ✓Fast-Moving vs Non-Moving Inventory Velocity Analysis

Prevent costly production stoppages and minimize holding capital with automated reorder rules and multi-godown stock synchronization.

  • ✓Finite Machine & Workstation Capacity Scheduling
  • ✓Automated Master Production Schedule (MPS) Generation
  • ✓Job Card Priority Sequencing & Setup Time Optimization
  • ✓Real-Time Shop Floor Machine Downtime & OEE Tracking
  • ✓Operator Shift Allocation & Labor Capacity Balancing
  • ✓Dynamic Rescheduling for Urgent Rush Orders

Maximize machine utilization and guarantee on-time job completion with intelligent finite-capacity scheduling and live dispatch routing.

Inventory Management & Optimization

⚠️ The Operational Challenge

Working capital stays trapped in dead stock because procurement buys in bulk based on intuition rather than historical sales velocity and seasonal demand trends.

✨ The ERPPWA Solution

Free up cash flow with demand-driven replenishment. A centralized cloud database forecasts material consumption using historical trends, calculates optimal order quantities (EOQ), and eliminates dead stock accumulation.

  • ✓Centralized Inventory Repository Accessible Anywhere on Cloud
  • ✓Predictive Demand Forecasting from Historical Sales Velocity
  • ✓Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) Cost Optimization
  • ✓Dead Stock, Obsolete Item & Expiry Risk Identification
  • ✓Freeing Up Locked Working Capital for Higher ROI
  • ✓Automated Reorder Quantity Calculators Factoring MoQ

Liberate tied-up operating capital and optimize warehouse square-footage with data-driven inventory forecasting and EOQ analytics.
