ERP material batch demand management analysis

ERP is an enterprise management software that can provide cross-regional, cross-department, or even cross-company integration of real-time information with management accounting as the core. Material requirements planning is the core and foundation of ERP. Did the user understand the ERP silly batch requirement management? The following Xiao Bian will introduce you to the specific details.

First, the frequent changes in sales orders, so that production planners headaches

As we all know, in order to accept orders, sales orders are production plans. However, because sales orders often need to be changed for various reasons, the production plan is also changed. However, we know that the project of the production plan change is very large, and it is not as easy as a sales order change. Changes in the production plan will involve a lot of parameters, especially time-related. So, as a production planner, what you don't want to see is the change in sales orders. However, this is unavoidable for companies that receive orders. In contrast, companies that produce inventories are less likely to be affected because most of their production plans can be controlled by themselves.

What kind of lazy tricks did the batch of demand plans provide us?

ERP solution: Sometimes, although sales orders change, such as the delivery date has changed, but production planners make adjustments to the production plan, sometimes in order to "lazy", will not adjust all the production plan, but only Make adjustments to some production plans. Of course, this is not to say that the production planner wants to be lazy, but because some production orders for the sales orders cannot be arbitrarily adjusted, such as sales orders for some key customers or some production plans that are already approaching delivery or some other production plan personnel. We think that plan cannot be changed. Therefore, this "lazy" is reasonable.

In the batch demand planning system, this problem is better achieved. When encountering changes in sales orders that require adjustment of the production plan, the production planner can first check the original production plan and select which of the production plans do not need to be adjusted to be “locked”. Thus, the batch demand planning system is considering new production. When planning, these locked production plans will be ignored. Will not adjust the production schedule of these sales orders, but only in some of the remaining production plans, make adjustments.

In this way, on the one hand, the speed of the system can be increased, and the production planners do not have to wait in front of the computer for a long time; on the other hand, the follow-up time of the production planner can be greatly reduced, and the production of the unscheduled orders is not required. Plans are checked one by one, and only a few adjusted sales orders need to be planned for proofreading. Therefore, this "lazyness" is worthwhile and it is advocated.
