.
Raw Material Planning Application (RMPA) is indispensable for production.
RMPA features:
- Tailor future plans for the raw materials required for production.
- Determine the input of a given product – i.e. component items & the necessary processes for the end product in terms of: order of production processes, required working hours, and the ratio of each process to the end product.
- Identify raw material shipment methods by vendors to calculate procurement time & avoid disruption.
- Design monthly sales schemes to specify the required raw materials per month.
- Create raw material worksheets to figure out the required production volume. Worksheets are created based on customer purchase orders, work orders, sales schemes, or manually entered data.
- Single out secondary products made irregularly.
- Estimate the required supplies according to the following formula (required amount of the product × No. of product components).
- Charge the required raw materials for production.
- Calculate the supplies to be ordered by checking the available stock versus the total required procurements.
- Create the purchase orders of the unavailable stock needed for production.
- Redesign plans of previous products to be manufactured at present.
- Make necessary changes to plans in response to unexpected developments, through: reconsidering plans, cancel plans & referring to the available stock over a given period to specify the required amount of stock.
- Generate key reports like production planning input, documentation requirements & required input statement.
